Santander £30 Amazon voucher - Can I open 2 accounts and get 2x £30?

What_time_is_it

I’ve opened a Santander Everyday account to get the £30 Amazon voucher. Just checked the terms and conditions and it sounds like the restriction is one voucher per account, not per person. 

Do you think I can open another account and get another £30 voucher? Maybe an Edge account (with no direct debits)?

What do you reckon?

It's unlikely but you could try - but equally you could do TopCashBack and try for the £20 payment which would be more likely as it's a different offer

Thanks.

Also, I’m not clear on what the maximum number of Edge and/or Everyday current accounts I can have open at any one time is. I’ve had contradictory advice when I’ve asked Santander about this!

Yes, you can do this.

You can have up to 2 x Edge current accounts, 1 x Edge Explorer account and unlimited Everyday current accounts. However, when I tried applying for a 4th Everyday current account I was declined it until I closed some of the other accounts.

* Edit: Santander have just updated the maximum number of Edge Savers you can have to 3. 1 for each of your 2 Edge Current Accounts and 1 for your Edge Explorer Account.

I believe Edge is now strictly 1 sole and 1 joint account, unless you already have 2 sole (plus perhaps a joint one, too). It doesn’t matter if you have other Santander current accounts, too.

I also believe you can have up to 4 Everyday ones, alongside whatever other Santander current accounts you may have. 

Personally, I wouldn’t try getting more than one Amazon voucher offers in the same offer period but I have got two vouchers so far from different offer periods, and have my third one in progress from the current offer. I never use the Everyday accounts I opened for the offer, and close them once I got the voucher (using the chatbot).

Whatever you choose to do, do keep a record of the OLA number each application gets assigned. Several people I know had to provide this number when the voucher company initially failed to provide the promised voucher.

Thanks all.
I successfully opened 2 Everyday accounts and got a “pending” on a third account, so I suspect that one will be rejected.
I’ll see what happens. Worth a go!

Is there any particular reason you're opening 2 (possibly 3) Everyday current accounts? You'll only get one gift card as they're both the same type of account. To get 2 gift cards you would need to open 2 different types of account, e.g. an Everyday current account and an Edge current account.
