I've just had a look at the reward progress section for October on the Halifax iOS app.
Has it always said the word Keep? Was it not deposit or pay in previously?

The older-style tracker information screenshot relates to September, by the looks of it.

"Keep £1500 or above in your account"

Same in the Android app, now says 'Keep £1500'

But the Rewards account website clearly says merely 'Pay in £1500' 
https://www.halifax.co.uk/bankaccounts/current-accounts/reward-current-account.html

I notice on mine with 3 Halifax reward accounts that only the first has the check mark for keep £1500 in your account and that is the account which receives £1500 from an external account.  Reward accounts 2 and 3 receive the £1500 from an internal transfer and do not show the check mark.  Same thing happened last month which I believe was when the look and wording of the reward tracker changed.

Had the same that only the account with the receipt of the external payment was checked off last month. Still expecting full payment this month as it has worked like that in previous months and a change would surely require an update of T&C's, also you are locked in to the current terms when you chose the reward so wouldn't worry. 

I will also do the £500 spend to Revolut, it may or may not be needed but there is no harm in doing it one more time and spare the 5-10 min.

Can't see any Reward tracking function on my Android app?  However, just noticed there's a free draw in Cashback Extras which just seems to need activating and nothing further.

So are we 100% there is no need for £500 debit card payment? After reading here today I'm confused!

Some of us are. But even for those who aren't, there is plenty of time to qualify later in the month if you don't get the expected rewards in the next couple of weeks.

From Halifax themselves. The old rewards system ended yesterday so no need to do the £500 debit card spend anymore. Remaining benefits to be received before the end of October.

Looks like you have to spend a minimum of 20p too.

I know it says that in the offer, but the T&Cs are that you just have to activate the offer to be entered.

Am I correct that the & £1500 can go into one Halifax account then be transferred from it to another instantly to meet the requirement?

I'll cycle the monthly money as per as its no big deal. 

Reluctant on the £500 though because it takes forever & a day for it to make it to NS&I and then back to then go back in to a decent savings account.
