Bank bribe question

TClite · 28 August 2019 at 12:26PM

I have the Tesco internet saver/instant access accounts which I used with previous bank bribes to qualify for the active direct debits. This is no longer possible. I have a couple of questions.

1. Can I setup 2 standing orders from my donor account to pay 2 of my other accounts to get round this?
2. Is it possible to have a credit card with multiple direct debits.

Edit - this is for the HSBC bribe. In order to qualify the £1750, I dont see this needs to be paid in to get the bonus so im assuming this is just a salary check in order to open the actual account. If it does need paid in for the bonus, are we allowed to round robin the money?

Appreciate these questions might be silly to some but appreciate the help none the less.

1. A Standing Order is not a Direct Debit
2. No

thanks for the replies. Just to confirm, I realise standing order isnt a direct debit but the deal says transfer an account with 2 active direct debits or standing orders does it not?

No. It is just a condition of the account - nothing to do with where the money comes from.

I hope it's ok to post a new bank bride question here - Looking at the latest email (11-09-19) the natwest fee-free account - it states that you'll need to pay in £1500 by jan 2020 - does this mean the account will have to contain £1500 or can you pay in and take out as long as £1500 goes in on paper ie bank transfers, a lump sum and income but also pay a few bills?

Thanks in advance

no just pay in. one of £1500 or 1500 of £1 or anything in between. Take it out any time you want eg pay in 50 take out 50 repeat 30 times!

Its a current account, so obviously you'd expect to be able spend or pay bills with that £1500.

I know many banks offer a variety of 'perks', but don't think you'll get a new bride with this one:p

Thanks 18cc I thought as much it's just best to clarify these details before make any decisions - badger09 The "bribe" is £150 according to the last email and the links to the banks website!

Is this a new twist on the stat that you're more likely to get divorced than change your bank account?
