    That's great news. They usually don't pay for switching into an existing account. This makes it a pain as you're not allowed to open any club Lloyds account if you already hold one of any type. 

    Thanks for posting, especially as I realise you won't be eligible.  :(

    Edit:
    Having followed the link, not sure you can switch into an existing Club Lloyds account.

    Not sure what this statement below means-

    "Existing Lloyds customers who have a different Lloyds current account to these three accounts can qualify for the bonus to receive the £200."

    I've switched into my existing Club Lloyds account twice for a switching bonus.  The last time was two years ago, so I'm not eligible for one this time round.

    The switching offer is now live, as you suspected:
    you must switch to a new Club Lloyds Account, Club Lloyds Platinum Account or Club Lloyds Silver Account using the ‘Current Account Switch Service’ to switch from a bank account held with another bank.

    So are we saying, I can't switch into an existing Club Lloyds account I hold? If this is the case, what was all this talk saying it was open to existing customers.
    I choose the rooms that I live in with care,
    The windows are small and the walls almost bare,
    There's only one bed and there's only one prayer;
    I listen all night for your step on the stair.

    You're not disqualified becuase you hold a Club Lloyds account, but you would have to open a new Club Lloyds account to qualify (which might mean you have to downgrade your existing Club Lloyds account in order to be eligible to open a new Club Lloyds account).

    It's also possible to be an existing customer with no Club Lloyds account.
    The thing is, what would happen to my Club Lloyds regular saver if I down grade my account. It's a pain but could I close the RS, down grad, open new Club Lloyds account, re apply for RS.

    The answer is : nothing.

    You can't apply for Club Lloyds linked products unless you have a Club Lloyds current account, but if you close or downgrade nothing happens to existing ones. Presumably you'll only be without a Club Lloyds account for a short period, so in reality there won't be an impact, aside from losing Club Lloyds rewards for a month or two.

    Downgrade your existing Club Lloyds to Classic, then apply for a new Club Lloyds. You might need to wait overnight before the system will let you open a new Club Lloyds after downgrading your existing one.

    This is exactly why I've not gone for their switches before. I am hesitant to downgrade whilst having a Club Lloyds regular saver running.
    Whilst I think it would be technically possible to downgrade, and then open a new Club Lloyds account without closing the savings account, but I doubt they intended this to be a workaround enabling existing customers to get a switching bonus .
