Student Bank Account Incentives Maximisation

Hi all!
I've been looking at the student bank account incentives, and was wondering whether there could be a similar method of using them as with the switching bonuses I saw on TV - where people would have an account they'd use just for the cash incentives. If I close an account, will I lose the bonus like the tastecard or railcards? Is there a particular order they should be opened then closed in?
Many thanks in advance everyone for your time and help!
P.S. I hope I've put this in the right category... I'm new to this site so let me know if I should change it!

    I don't think it's practical to generalise about incentive withdrawal following account closure, so you'd really need to study the Ts & Cs of any such incentives you wished to benefit from.
