Nationwide Switch Offer £200 September 2023

I've got 2 DD with Halifax, but I really don't want to switch from Halifax as it's been my main account for many years. However, I've got a lot of burner accounts, such as NatWest, RBS, Virgin Money. If I move my DD from Halifax to one of these current accounts, how can I do it and how long does that roughly take?
Or am I better off setting up some fake DDs?0 -

Does anyone know if Nationwide’s systems are smart enough to pick up if you’ve switched before? I’ve benefited from multiple NatWest incentives even though I’d switched before and therefore didn’t fit the T&Cs. So wondering if it’s worth trying my luck with Nationwide again.0

Nationwide has launched today a new switch offer with a £200 incentive.
https://www.nationwide.co.uk/current-accounts/switch/
https://www.nationwide.co.uk/current-accounts/help/terms/current-account-online-switch-offer-terms-and-conditions/
All rather straight forward and easy to achieve but a watch out is point 7 in their T&C's
7. You must transfer a minimum of 2 active Direct Debits from the current account being switched to the Nationwide account as part of the switch. Direct Debits set up or transferred after your switch has been started will not count towards this offer. Other types of automated payments, such as standing orders and recurring card payments, won’t count towards this.
Once the account is open you have access to a new 8% regular saver @Kazza242 has mentioned here:

Happy Switching1 -
I opened my account yesterday but unable to register for online banking/log in via app or website. They are citing a technical problem so unable to open the regular saver.0
