HSBC ≠ Halifax.

Are they still super picky with applications? I fall short of the £1750 by a bit.

They’ve also knuckled  down on those with a First Direct or M&S account making them not eligible for the switch bonus based on opening date whereas in previous iterations it was never an issue;

(c) have not have opened a first direct or M&S Bank current account on or after 1 January 2017. You may hold a first direct and/or M&S Bank current account and still qualify for this offer as long as the current account was opened before

1 January 2017.

So I’m guessing FD and M&S will follow suit with their switch offers if and when they do them

Hmm, should I wait till they start giving £200 again? Or at least £175?

Can I just confirm that I'm Not Missing something.
I have a HSBC Advance account opened July 2015.Still open
I had a M&S account opened May 2015  and closed Aug 2015
I had a First Direct account opened Feb 2014 and closed Aug 2020
The switch offer is not available to me as I already am an account holder.(unlike the Lloyds Club offer)

Correct, unless you open a joint account (if you previously haven't had one).

That's quite restrictive, unfortunately I don't meet the terms

Technical problems on website when applying - doesn't bode well IMO

From link in earlier post:

Where your eligible current account is a joint account, at least one of the joint account holders must complete the switch from either a sole account in their own name or another joint account in the same names;

(c) have not have opened a first direct or M&S Bank current account on or after 1 January 2017. You may hold a first direct and/or M&S Bank current account and still qualify for this offer as long as the current account was opened before 1 January 2017.

(d) instruct us to start a full switch of a current account, including at least two Direct Debits or Standing Orders, to your eligible current account using the Current Account Switch Service*1 (“CASS”) to start within 30 days of the date of your eligible current account being opened;

(f) continue to hold an eligible current account on the date we make the Offer Payment.
