HSBC Advance - free £205 offer - same household applicants?

HalifaxCurtis

Good morning,


I have just applied for the HSBC Advance account as mentioned in the most recent money tips email in order to get the £205 offer.


There's just one question that I cannot find the answer for anywhere within the HSBC documents, so I was wondering if anyone else knew or had seen it mentioned in small print somewhere?


Can more than one person get the offer within the same household?
If my partner also successfully applied then that would be Christmas food paid for, and maybe even a couple of pressies!


Thanks in advance!

Yes, the offer terms (in common with other offers) are per person, not per household.

Bank accounts belong to people, not households. So each member of the household can take advantage of the incentive on offer if they are eligible.

Thank you both, I'll certainly give it a go then! 🤞

I was successful, but after skim-reading that thread, I may not bother trying with the Mrs after hearing about their rejections!

Are you going travelling as the payments go into the global account

No, but I believe you can still use the global account for GBP?

I have an HSBC Advance account already. My wife opened one yesterday. All done in 3 minutes and will open a global account to get her full £205.

Why is there no insentive for current customers to open the Global account though?

There never is, is there! I suppose the way they see it is, they can't gain a new customer from rewarding an existing one!

I applied for the HSBC Advance account as advised but was rejected without reason. I have not previously held a HSBC or First Direct current account so unsure why I was refused
