    You might be lucky to find that many high st. banks offering incentives, however if you can I see no problems that I am aware of, I collect points from different stores for using them and it's not a problem.

    You will not be accused of benefit fraud by switching bank accounts for incentives.

    If you've got Direct Debits going out, make sure the parties that need to know about the new account know.

    It's easy to get into a 'pickle'.
