Does all this opening bank accounts to get 50 points have a negative effect on switching for much larger rewards

Surely the more bank accounts you have the less there are to switch to ?

Think you are confusing opening a bank account (not usually rewarded) with switching from one account to another (with reward). Switch rewards are not generally dependent on opening a new account.

Current accounts often (but not always) require a hard credit search, which can impact your ability to get credit in the short term. Savings accounts have no impact, as they usually don't need a hard search. Many switch offers are also available to existing customers anyway, so opening new accounts won't really stop you from getting incentives down the line.

I tried different browsers kept getting error message, to my surprise when looked at accounts added lo and behold ..........  

Subsequently I even managed to add TSB accounts that are on different login Ids 

noh

Just had 16200 points arrive for the accounts I added yesterday.
£150 to be redeemed.

 So what you're saying is  if I have bank accounts A B C D I can switch A to B and C to D and get 2 rewards, that to get the reward you can switch an account you have  to another account you have ? 

I have 3 bank accounts my main one I won't switch and 2 others I opened that I switched 2 dummy accounts to and claimed 2 rewards.

My main account is Santander, if they offer a reward can I also switch one of the other accounts to them and claim the reward ?

The answer is yes, and I am living proof of this. They did a switching incentive in August and I was able to open a second Lloyds account and switch it to Santander to get the incentive. Though I did need to go into branch for this. Most of the switching incentives I've had, i.e. RBS, Halifax, Lloyds, Nationwide, Santander,..., I've got whilst being an existing customer.

The only exception to the rule so far has been Virgin Money and Co-op bank.
