  • If I understand it correctly, I don't really need to be a high earner as long as I can pay in £5000 a month?

    I suppose I'd only need to do that until they pay me £500 and then I can change the account to Club LLoyds or whatever?

    Or would they likely decline my application when I state my income is not that of a high earner?

    Missed it by 2 months, maybe the next one - if you note from the last one, it was excluded if you had an offer since 1/1/2023, this one is 1/3/23 so maybe next is 1/5/23 and I can qualify!

A rich man buys $50 boots that are made better and give him 10 years of dry feet. The poor man has spent $100 over those 10 years and still has wet feet.

  • I gave them a call during the January offer and a member of the switch team told me they can't see any offer being paid to me after the cut off date, so I would qualify. Unfortunately I was late with setting up 3 direct debits (each needs to be paid out at least once before the switch), so I might be able to get this one. Just wondering if I should try the Premier account. 😀

    That's annoying, just able to qualify by a month for the last Lloyds switch offer - recon I could have probably made the Premier switch criteria (with a bit of luck) if I'd waited.

    If I have a joint club Lloyds and a sole standard account is there any reason why I can't do this by opening a second sole account and having this as a club account as well?

    I could be wrong but it looks like transferring in £5k a month could work. They just say to deposit £5k a month. Any less than that and you have the fee to pay rather than it be refunded.

    Edit: You could probably transfer it out again after 24 hours each month.
