    I just helped a friend with his switch request.

    He logged in online and clicked on switch your account. Got "Something went wrong. We had to log you out". So he logged in once more. This time, he didn't get logged out but did not manage to get past the second screen because Halifax did not recognise their own sort code and account number. We double and triple checked - both, the sort code and account number entered were definitely correct.

    He then logged into the app and could complete the switch request without problems.

    Weird. At least he didn't have to phone them, though.
    I also keep getting the 'something went wrong' message when I try to apply for a new account via app. I'll try via website. 

    Wish all you lot who are compulsively checking every 30 seconds to see if your switch incentive has landed, would give it a rest :s
    Who mentioned every 30 seconds? I've looked twice this week!

    It was meant in jest.
    Anyway, decided against applying for the Ultimate Reward account as it involved me telling blatant lies.

    A sole Reward account
    Can't you have two? I thought it says you can't open if you already hold 2? (I read that as meaning if I've only 1 then I can open a second but if I've got two then I'm ineligible).  I was thinking of opening a second for the £5 reward as I'm just moving the debit card spend between post office savings back into other accounts.
