    Why not?
    A joint account can be switched only to a joint one and there is Apply (joint account) button on the very first page of the application (I checked Everyday account).
    That said, you can easily open two singe accounts with, say, the same Halifax and switch them for two bonuses.

    Do your not have 4 between you? Energy, water, broadband, mobiles, council tax? I know, not all qualify, but theoretically you can do this in sequence and change some DDs back to HX after switching first single account (do your research).

    Not better than a singe, but you can later change them to a joint account if you wish.
