    I haven't done anything in particular prior to the 19th and today it seems still successfully activated both the Lloyds& the Halifax (clicked the plus sign next to Prize Draw : Win up tp £5000 cash). So to participate, I now need to activate/make use of one of the cashback offers , spend min. £0.20 (Bodyshop?) and wait for the results of the draw on the 07/11 - am I reading this correctly?
    There's no minimum spend (I know it says 20p on the offer) according to the T&Cs.

    There won't be any results of the draw.
    Thanks - not quite sure how to interpret your last sentence though .... Apologies if I can't see the wood for the trees!

    What I mean is that there won't be a page you can go to with a list of winners or even an announcement about them after it closes.

    For several years, I have been holding several Reward accts as well as a credit card. I cannot activate the cashback on any of them
    If posters cant figure out either of the halifax cashback offers after several years givern all the info on this site over 15 years ...good luck with it now as one cash reward is history and the others are very marginal discounts.

    At one point the supermarket cashback offers and a couple of others could be worked over (mine still shows £470 cashback in total) which was at least 85-90% cash profit .

    Over that shorter period mentioned above where halifax lowered the reward ..... the lower cashback reward amounts didnt matter much if you had multiple accounts. It was just a faint or a weak attempt to flush out the system which worked to a degree as many closed accounts.

    Those with 4-8 accounts that hung on ...... have picked up more than a few grand over (up to) 15 years aprox for ones efforts .

    I am not sure what you are trying to tell me, or indeed whether you are trying to tell me anything. In short, the Halifax (and / or Lloyds) cashback scheme has never been attractive to me until now, and the only attraction now is the prize draw. Though for some reason I am unable to activate it now (also not at Lloyds). Not that I am losing sleep over it, and for reasons I am not going into here, I won’t be contacting them about it.
    Everyday Offers/cashback scheme had to be activated by 19th September in order for Prize Draw to be activated between 1st -31 October.
    Is it at all three, or just Halifax and Lloyds this offer?
    Dates I mentioned certainly refer to both Halifax and Lloyds, I have no knowledge about BOS.

    T+C replicated within linked post below clearly state have to be registered for spending rewards by 19th September.

    I was able to enter both Lloyds and Halifax prize draws, assume I registered for spending rewards in distant past, BOS however I do not have spending rewards visible and unable to enter Prize Draw assuming there is a Prize Draw.

    Do you have a live Debit card on that account? 
    Or a Halifax Credit card?

    I get the same at Lloyds, and at Halifax I cannot see anything at all about cashback rewards.

    No sign of the remaining bonus payments on the 12th, maybe Halifax doesn't work on a Sunday? 😉
    Looking forward to tomorrow!

    I'd recommend holding off on downgrading until they make the final payment where they pay out your remaining rewards.
