For the £1,500 funding requirement for the account, do internal transfers satisfy this.

Eg. external account -> BOS -> Hal Reward 1 -> Hal Reward 2 -> external account

Yep, me and my fiancée do this each month.

I do Reward 1 -> Reward 2 -> Reward 3 -> UltReward Joint, then she does the same from the joint to each of her 3 Reward accounts.

Got my switch bonus paid in this morning - Lloyds account switched into an old existing Halifax rewards, switch due to complete on the 27th.

Also got the incentive a few days early for the Lloyds account when I switched to that, so looks like for some banks it’s becoming the norm to pay out before the switch is complete.

All seems to be working okay - had an existing Halifax credit card, opened a reward account on the app. Had a glitch in that I didn't get an option to switch during the account opening, but arranged a switch afterwards. Regular saver opened and money transferred in. Switch due on the 29th.

Out of curiosity. What sort of comms have people received after they initiated the switch? A series of text messages confirming switch date, that money has arrived, etc. or did the money just suddenly appear in the account?

My 175 appeared in the account much earlier than they forecast. Easy money and all done inside a week.  No message from them to say the bonus got paid.

Put in my switch request on Sunday. Received a text on Monday saying they had received my request and another on Tuesday confirming the switch date as the 29th. Nothing else to date.
