    Sorry to be a bit dim. I have one existing a/c with Lloyds (Club Lloyds). Are they wanting me to switch (my Halifax) account TO that, or will they open a new one  to switch to (then I have 2 x Club lloyds)
    No. I am fairly sure you can only have one Club Lloyds a/c.
    You will just switch your Halifax into your existing Club Lloyds a/c. And if you already have the 2 x DDs then you get the monthly fee waived. So no nasty DDs to create! (or is it the £1,500 that waives the fee?? & DDs trigger the interest ?)


    You need no DDs on a Club Lloyds. If you want to avoid the monthly fee, you must deposit at least £1.5k a month.

    I thought everyone on here would have had the bonus in October 2019
    I didn't as ypou had to open a new Club Lloyds (or platimun?) account and couldn't be bothered downgrading my existing main CL account at that time. So £100 here I come.

    Switching service won't authenticate the details of the account I want to switch from. Looks like gremlins all day since the offer went live, and they just cut me off on the phone. . .twice.

    Can you just upgrade a Lloyds Classic to Club Lloyds or must you switch an external account and upgrade?

    Then you need the DDs to earn the interest (which, of course, is going down.... again!)
    Being polite and pleasant doesn't cost anything!
