    I switched over an old Santander account I hadn't been using, would this be okay?  Funny how I was rejected for the exact same nationwide offer last week. Once I get the money I might switch back to Santander and get their offer as I haven't had a cashback offer from them 
    Why were you rejected for Nationwide?

    Don't have a clue, credit scoring I presume.
    Sorry to hear that n1guy.

    Has anyone with existing Reward account(s) been able to open another Reward account for this offer?

    So, anyone on here who has already had 3 Reward accounts and now successfully opened the Ultimate Reward as their 4th account?
    Yes I have done so.
    The Ultimate Reward was opened and appeared immediately in online banking after application.
    It is my 6th Halifax account. 3 Rewards, 1 Current Account and 1 Easycash.
    The switch should complete on the 15th. I have had the text message to confirm that.
    I opened the Ultimate Reward account and requested the switch on the 5th.
    The £125 incentive payment was paid today 5 days before the completion of the switch.

    Is anyone having trouble initiating the switch. It either says there's been a problem, or doesn't recognise my new Halifax account details. The new account is open

      I started the switch during the new account application. No problem, not completed yet though.

      I've tried about 5 times over two days but it doesn't seem to want to do it for some reason. I tried to call Halifax but it disconnected as apparently their call volume is too high. 

      I'll keep trying, maybe too many people trying to do this atm!

        My switch is due to complete on the 16th and the "Incentive" was credited earlier today.

        Halifax often has "technical problems". Then when you try the same thing again, it's working fine. Have you cleaned your cookies and browsing history, and then tried the switch again?
