    Well the BOS with Vantage might be a better bet (than BOS Reward) . Interest tiered as Club Lloyds- 2 xDDs & £1k payment pm. Interest last month was £3+
    Even on £5K, BOS Vantage yields just £14 extra interest p.a. over the best comparable instant access accounts (i.e. Marcus and Nationwide both at 0.5%). As Vantage and Reward both require 2 DDs, would you not be a tenner richer in a year by shifting your £5K to 0.5% on 1st March and converting your Vantage account to a Reward? 
    Whilst I agree with your logic (similar issues debated on here a dozen times) I couldn't see any process offered now to either convert, upgrade or apply for a BoS Rewards ac.? 

    PS Note I do already have a Halifax/BoS 'full house' :smile:

    I've already got a Halifax Reward if that matters.
    Historically you could have three Halifax R a/cs. Still possible.. It has been discussed extensively

    Not on the (my) Halifax app. Is there a BoS app that might be different?

    I'm aware of this.

    It doesn't answer my point though.

    What a bizarre post! You ask how to change a BOS current a/c. I tell you how to do it on the app. Now you seem to be asking whether the app actually exists!

    No BOS reward option here for the three BOS vantage accounts I hold.

    Only Classic, Vantage, Platinum with Vantage and Student options.
    I've just looked too,  both on the app and the browser site. It appears that this account, which I first heard about from Soulsaver on Sunday, doesn't actually exist. At least not for new applications, if it ever did exist.

    I've just looked at the Bank of Scotland website.  (I don't have an account with them.)
    From what I see there Vantage is a "free" add-on to the Classic current account.  So I presume you have to have or apply for the Classic current account first.

    You have no comprehension of the issue that has arisen on this thread.

    I have total grasp of this issue.

    Had he bothered reading what I quoted properly, he'd have realised I could only have been referring to the phantom BoS Reward account, you know, the one you told us "still does need 2 DDs paid out to get £2 pm."

    What a blinking waste of time this thread has been 

    Phantom products, misinformation and the OP not even coming back to thank people.

    You've got to laugh haven't you?
