Halifax Reward current account

I'm thinking about switching my Santander 123 account to the Halifax reward account! Has anyone got any view on the Halifax account? I wondered if the £1500 required for the £5 reward can be transferred in from another Halifax account or has it to be from elsewhere? And what is the switching service like?

There's a huge long thread on this Forum about the Halifax Reward.2

You seem to be tempted by cashback offers.
Assuming your Santander account has at least 2 direct debits, why don't you switch to a new Nationwide Flex Direct account and collect a free £125 (plus, maybe 2% interest for 12-months).
Simultaneously, open up a new Halifax Reward account for the free monthly fivers (I don't think they have a switching offer running atm).
Over time manually switch the dd's over from Nationwide to Halifax if it suits.
To answer your question, the £1500 monthly payment can come from anywhere (including another Halifax account).

The switching was fine in 2015 when I went there from Barclays.
Don't forget the requirement to spend £500 on debit card or hold a £5K balance. if you have the latter - does it work out better to leave it in Santander 123?Wash your Knobs and Knockers... Keep the Postie safe!0 -
If you go regularly to Vue Cinemas I can recommend it.
If I keep my monthly balance at over £5,000 (and pay in £1500) I get a free Vue ticket once a month which can be used for VIP seats - so is worth up to £10 a month (and no tax to pay). And you get half price popcorn saving you a further £3.30 potentially.
So its worth over £13 a month to me!0 -
The best thing to do for Halifax rewards is just open the account (don't switch as you're throwing away existing rewards)
then do a £500 debit card payment to another savings account. Free £5's for clicking a few buttons once a month.1 -

Scrounger, are you sure the £1500 can be paid from another Halifax account? With most banks it doesn't work like that.
