Made approx £500 in a couple of months!

Options
I have done a switch to 
Nationwide
Lloyds TSB
Santander 
Halifax

I bank with First Direct and for some reason every time I apply for HSBC switch offer, it keeps only offering me a standard current account. So going to try again mid next year as I don't feel I will get another round like this until a couple of years have past with the above banks! Feeling proud of myself.

    Having a time machine must come in handy when wanting to take advantage of expired offers! ;)

    According to my credit reports until recently I had an account and credit card with Lloyds TSB which I only opened a few months ago, it has only changed this month to Lloyds Bank (Was Lloyds TSB) :)

    Well on a whim, I have just applied to HSBC and it accepted (last time it declined to a normal current account in Sept!) they must have changed criteria...thats my last £150 in January hopefully!
