I was on track, but the tracker has now disappeared from the app and online.
*edit* it just came back... I wonder if the £5 reward is going to appear and disappear
I'm half expecting them to decide after the fact that we didn't actually meet the requirements.

LOL Hopefully not!
Mine also appears and disappears all the time. logs me out, shows error messages, you name it....
I am happy to go through all these hoops if come 12/7 I get my 10 pounder.
We shall see. Happy for now, my bit is done.

The tracker is pretty-much useless to me because my salary is paid into the account on the last working day of every month, so the tracker is basically never going to show me as being on-track. 

Me too; my pension payments go in at the end of the month. Don't expect it to show in the tracker but I do expect to get the £5 Reward.

Much to my amusement, every time I click on the tracker in my app, the message is 'Sorry its taking so long'. 
Erm... about 3 days

Will opening a second sole Halifax Reward Current Account and setting up Reward Extras for that account succeed?

"You can only choose one Reward Extra Offer per account, even if the account is in joint names."

The above T&C`s seem to indicate it would be OK because you are choosing one Reward Extra Offer for one account and then choosing a second Reward Extra Account for another different account.

No, it doesn't mean that.
One sole account, one joint account.
The joint account obviously has two named people on it but only one reward extra offer is available - you can't choose, for example, £5 and cinema tickets for the joint account but only the £5 or cinema tickets.

I realise you can only have one Reward Extra Offer for one joint account and I assume a couple can have one sole account each and one joint account totalling three Reward Extras. However new joint account applications require a branch visit which we want to avoid. The T&C`s imply one Reward Extra per account. Therefore having two sole accounts means you can have one Reward Extra for each account. Am I correct?

The T&Cs do not just "imply" one Reward Extra per account. They explicitly state it. You cannot obtain more than one reward from a single account.

No, not therefore.

That is correct, if a limit was not put on the number of account you can hold, then you could in theory open any number of accounts and have one reward from each of them. You cannot open a second sole account.

OK. So the conclusions to these comments would be:

- People who have legacy sole Reward accounts will get 1 reward extra per account regardless of the number of accounts (as in the past multiple sole accounts were possible.

- People who attempt to open more sole accounts from 1st June won't succeed.

This is how I interpreted these tricky T&C's all along.
Is it your reasoning too?
