    I thought 30th June was the latest date. I've updated the post. 👍 
    Fortunately you could renew up to a month and a half ahead of your offer expiring.

    Thanks to the "Hedgehog" for flagging up the early payout!
    Emptied and now in easy access account.
    I suppose there is no point in keeping the Reward Current account status.

    Don’t forget to downgrade those accounts …
    How do I do this?

    Does this impact the £250pm monthly saver @ 5.25%?

    In the app, choose one of the accounts, click the 3 dots top right, go down to  change account type in manage account on the right, middle row and choose. Rinse and repeat

    It's alright you lucky b*ggers that have got your lump sums...I'm still waiting for Halifax to respond to my complaint about not receiving my £5 x 3 from September despite having sent me exactly the same text 3 days running last Fri, Sat & Sun (all at 8.02am) saying we've received your complaint and will be in touch soon....I'm not holding my breath.  

    Oddly the wife's 3 accounts were all set up at the same times as mine and the payment of £1500 in and £500 out were all done in same fashion as mine (and same as every other month) and she has had her £5's so I know the Reward period for the accounts hadn't expired.

    £40 + £40 + £10 = £90 for me. :)

    Going to switch away one of those to my existing TSB account for the switch offer. I like when banks enable switch offers when switching to an existing account rather than only for new accounts.

    Not going to downgrade the other two accounts just yet as it's easy enough to cycle £1,500.00 through them. They will be good donor accounts for any future switch offers.
