Possible £100 Halifax switch offer starting 4/8/20

You don't need to switch for that, downgrade to current account and have another donor account for a switch offer.

I've just opened an account this week and set up online banking. When does the 'month' run from? Is it 1-31st of each month or from date of opening account?

Do I need to pay in £1500 to avoid the fee and spend £500 on debit card to earn £5 bonus before 31st August?

The bonus has now shown on mine too.

Unusual for it to have a Saturday date on it (but dated the 17th also).

What date did you start the switching process?

My switch started 4 August and I deposited £5k but looking at. the tracker it still shows I am not on course to receive the £5.00.

I thought the £5 had nothing to do with any account switching.

It would have been better to ask in this thread: https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/6113322/halifax-reward-account-changing-to-3-charge-with-lifestyle-rewards

Here are the relevant terms of the offer:

So, on what date did you select your Reward Extras offer, and what was the balance of your account at the end of that day?

I just spoke to Halifax. Sorry if this has already been covered but
1) The bonus is being paid within 7 days AFTER the switch is completed, not as it states on the main site as 7 days after you've started the switching process.
2) It's a calendar month so if you opened the account with £5000 on August 2nd and kept it there until the end of August you are not entitled to the £5 reward.
