    Switch complete today but no bonus - I did get Halifax bonus a few weeks ago. Has anyone else successfully got the bonus from Lloyds as well as Halifax?
    To be honest, it's a bit of Hit/Miss - Myself and my partner both recently received the Halifax switch incentive.  Nevertheless, even though Lloyds clearly stated in their T&C that those who've recently received the Halifax switch offer, won't be entitled, we both still took the risk and applied for Lloyds. 

    Partner's got paid the £175 (See HERE), but I've not received it and it's now been more than 3 working days after the switch, so I'm not expecting it.  

    If I don't get any switch money before the full month, I'll downgrade or close the Lloyds club account as I don't need it.

     Exactly the same situation here. Was worth a shot and I still get 12 months of Disney+ and a decent regular saver out of it.
    Agreed, no harm in trying and get other benefits from it anyway so still worth it. 
  • Lloyds don’t waste any time.  Switch isn’t due to complete until Monday, but the incentive was paid in yesterday! 
  • Incredibly quick £175 payment today, 2-3 days ahead of schedule. Kudos Lloyds.

    Thought I'd take a punt and try a switch knowing I should be ineligible. Got a letter from Lloyds yesterday saying that they were not going to pay the incentive as I'd already gotten one previously - seems they are on the ball at least for previous Lloyds switchers

    Anyone switched from Halifax to Lloyds, having recently got the Halifax switch bonus, and still received the bonus?  I see some people have got both bonuses, but was that from switching non-Halifax accounts?

    I switched from a non-Halifax account and didn't get the bonus, having got the Halifax one a couple of months ago. I contacted them but they are definitely on the ball with this one.

    That's a shame.  I guess I will just have to wait for the next non-Halifax group offer.

    quick question when it says you must pay in £2000 a month to get free account, I don't earn 2k a month just under can I just move money from my savings to make it over 2k so i don't pay for the account?

    Yes, as long as £2K is deposited, it can be from anywhere. You can even cycle smaller amounts to reach the £2k threshold, £500 in and out 4 times for example.
