    has any one else had a text advising not paid as not qualified.  I have had a text from them today saying that my switch completed (it actually completed on Tuesday) but i do not qualify for the £100 as i did not open a reward or ultimate reward account.

     However, 1. i did apply for a reward account and 2. both the card and the online banking has it titled as a Reward Current account?  Trying to get through to them via phone but have been in queue for last 20 minutes? wondering if anyone else has had the same?

    Was it a brand new account and not just an upgrade of an account opened before 4th August?
  • I just had same text. Funny really being switch and bonus were paid already. 

    MR X, great news, your switch is on track and today we've paid the £100 for switching into your account, thanks for choosing the Halifax.

    Yet on Monday - Your switch is complete and a letter will be issued confirming details. From the Halifax Switching Team.

    yeah it was a brand new account opened with them online on 7 August and applied for switch at the same time. have just finished speaking to the switch team and they cannot see why not paid either as she can see it does show as a reward account.  she has advised he will have to raise as a complaint as her and colleague cannot see what is going on or why, so will have to wait and see what happens i guess?

    The Halifax text messages are a bit behind  :o  I've received a text just now saying that my switch is on track and they've paid the £100 today.

    My switch actually completed last Friday and I was paid the £100 the same day. I've checked but alas they haven't paid me another £100  :(
    Same, I knew they wouldn't have paid 2x £100 though :D

    If you look back on one of my posts a few days ago you will see my partner was paid 3x£100 but alas Halifax later took £200 back.
    I have also just got a text saying my switch is on track, it took place several days ago and i have got my dosh so yes a little slow.
    I choose the rooms that I live in with care,
    The windows are small and the walls almost bare,
    There's only one bed and there's only one prayer;
    I listen all night for your step on the stair.
