Hi all.
As above - if you've already done a swap with a single a/c, can you do it with a joint a/c and gain the reward?

    You need to check the switch terms and conditions. Many say that you are not eligible if you had a switch bonus since xx/xx/xxxx. They don‘t normally distinguish between a bonus for a sole or for a joint account.

    It'll depend on the terms of the specific offer.

    Usually switch offers will only pay one incentive per account, so by switching a joint account you'll get one incentive but disqualify both account holders from further incentives. As such, it's generally recommended that each person on a joint account take advantage of the switch incentive individually, by switching an account in their sole name.

    The recent Nationwide offer was one of the only ones I've seen recently that explicitly allowed joint accounts to take advantage of the offer a second time.
