Is anyone else having problems completing the online form to start the switch? I’m getting an error page saying there is a problem and to try again later

I was having issues last night and this morning, but it seems to have come good now. Used Edge browser in case it helps.

In the MSE weekly email it states

 "Switch to a new or existing account before 27 June 2022. Once complete, the bonus is paid within 3 working days"

Does that mean as a existing Club Lloyds customer I can switch an account into my existing club lloyds account

Yes - the offer is available to existing Club Lloyds customers. You need to fill out the switching form located here: https://www.lloydsbank.com/current-accounts/switch.html

And that could be a virgin money account in my name only switched to a joint club Lloyds account held in my/wife's names


EDIT....just read terms & conditions.... and I can

I'd open a Club solo each and switch 2 solo's in, as solo into a joint switch will preclude a 2nd switching bonus.

The only problem with opening a new solo Club account (if you hold a joint) is you won't be given the option within online banking to do this as the account doesn't come up as an option to open.

I, my husband and parents had this problem back in 2019 when they offered the incentive as we held joint accounts and so the only way to open them was via a phone call or branch. Even though you are allowed a sole and a joint, Lloyds system doesn't enable you to open both online via your account. They used to allow multiple openings back in 2016 online and for joints, but since 2019 don't.

I will be opting for the easier solution of just getting the 1 incentive by switching to our joint.

Another option would be to downgrade the joint CL to a Classic account. You should then be able to open a new solo CL account each. After the switch incentive is paid, you can leave things as is, or downgrade the solo accounts and re-upgrade the joint if that's what you prefer.

Effort I agree, but it avoid phone calls/branch vists.

Getting the "Something has gone wrong with one of our systems- You can try re-submitting again now. If that doesn't work, it may be better if you try again later." error message, on both Chrome and Edge.

Anyone else having this issue today?

'Had' It comes and goes. I had it earlier but tried straight away after with no problem.

Still having issues have tried on 4 separate web browsers now. When I tried to speak to Lloyds about it they insisted there was nothing wrong with the form…

Hi

I've just used the switching form using Firefox and all went fine. Is it the new applicants that are having problems rather than existing customers?

Cheers

Just done this switch and most impressed, selected existing customer logged in selected club Lloyds account and opened immediately with sort code and account number, CASSed old account immediately, selected free odeon tickets and all showing online.

This is how switching should be done
