I already have a Halifax current account. When I logon and go through the process to open a Reward account, after answering a few questions, I get to the stage where I tick the box to agree their T & Cs, and the next thing to do is to click on "Complete application".

I am reluctant to click on "Complete application" as I have not been asked yet if I want to switch from an old account into my new Reward account that I am about to open.

What am I doing wrong?

Complete application to get accepted or not. If accepted you then get further questions, do you want an overdraft and do you want to switch an account to Halifax.
When I completed the long winded switch details it failed at the last page but the account was opened. I phoned the switch team next day and did it over the phone, 10 minute call, they advised about the £100 offer too.

Did you open 2nd reward account or Ultimate reward account?

Ultimate Reward. Switch team said the £100 will be paid into my new account anytime up to switch day but could be days before once switch is confirmed.  By switch day I should have my new account card and the dosh. The day after switch day I will use the online option to change my UR account to a bog standard current account thereby avoiding the £17 monthly fee I hope!

I mentioned this earlier in the thread: from the account t&c’s, it looks like you’ll be charged a proportion of the monthly fee for the amount of days in the month you have the account open.

Yes might cost me 9 days pro rate about £6 but also there’s a 14 day cooling off period so I wonder if I downgrade within that time won’t be charged.

I’m literally waiting on your outcome for this one as I’m planning the very same strategy.

I will let y’all know how I get on! One thing if/when you apply for UR if you tick you don’t want any of the insurances it rejects your application, as responsibly they deem you don’t need it or the fee!

... both my online and App are showing all accounts including the Reward downgraded account for which i have already moved funds between the Reward and new Reward Extra accounts.
Awaiting new debit card for the new Reward Extra account, and £100.00?
Will update of any changes.

Hi, How long did it take for the new account to show on your online banking. I only have a CC with Halifax now and even though I was logged in  when i applied, it asked me to set up new details for internet banking and now I have to wait for a code. I was also kicked out before I had chance to input the old account switch details, so did it afterwards. 
All in all, I am not feeling optimistic about this right now

it took me 2 days to get the code and was able to login and download the app too.

So I just applied and started the switch.
Can anyone tell me, with the £5000 every day for £5 a month, should I deposit £5000 into the new account today to qualify? I assume that if I dont, I wont meet the criteria for this month.
