Any update on this?  As in, has anyone tried it successfully: opening a secondary account linked to the Chase debit card and using CASS to switch that secondary Chase account to, say, First Direct to get the £175 switch incentive... without losing your main Chase account and its benefits (linked Saver and cashback, etc.)?

There has been some discussion on this previously. The chase additional account isn't a proper account, its a sub-account, or separate pot and the conclusion was it wasn't possible.

Tharweb has just posted a workaround, which has been said to work. 

I'd be reluctant to try, I value the 1% cashback and Chase don't let people who have switched away back.

In addition to that I've seen someone say that Chase didn't let a switch go through when they still had savings accounts open. They had to close the savings account and reapply for the switch.
