I can't give an exact date, but a little bird told me that it will be extended to at least March. I suspect that this may be at least mid, if not late March. To reiterate, the offer is a free deposit of £100 into your new account the day you switch. All you need to do is ring up your local branch and make an appointment to go in and switch, bringing your current bank details (preferably your bank card and a statement), passport and proof of address.
Halifax will arrange transfer of your direct debits and standing orders, and if you bring a payslip, your salary. Just make sure that you time this correctly or you could find debits bouncing on your empty old account. Switch to their Reward account and you'll be paid £5 for every time £1000 or more is paid in each month. The Ultimate Reward account will cost you £10 a month, but brings a host of benefits including travel insurance, breakdown cover and mobile phone insurance.
