HSBC Global Money Bonus

Hi all,

I have recently gone through the switching / account opening process to get the £125 current account and hopefully the £80 global money account bonuses.

I am wanting to use the current account to switch over to Natwest for their switch bonus, does anyone know if the current account needs to remain open for the global money bonus?

Thanks

    Just setup another account online and switch it rather than risk it

    The wording says you only need a current account to apply for the account but maybe Ts & Cs say otherwise, not worth the gamble

    Sam Vimes' Boots Theory of Socioeconomic Unfairness: 

    People are rich because they spend less money. A poor man buys $10 boots that last a season or two before he's walking in wet shoes and has to buy another pair. A rich man buys $50 boots that are made better and give him 10 years of dry feet. The poor man has spent $100 over those 10 years and still has wet feet.
