Worth the hassle to Switch for bonus? (joint > singles)

A question about : Worth the hassle to Switch for bonus? (joint > singles)

The reason I say hassle is that me and my wife have a joint bank account, mortgage etc.
To take advantage of the switching bonuses I considered each of us switching and thus receiving 2x bonuses.

But obviously this can't happen from a joint account into 2 single accounts.

So I guess I'd have to go into our current bank (santander) and close/split up our joint account, each set up a current account THEN use the switching service.

Doesn't seem worth the hassle - but is there an easier way to do this? Thought maybe someone else had done it from a similar situation.

Best answers:

• Never knew you could do that. Guess that's going to be easy enough then - thanks.
  I'll get in touch with the bank then and open one of those then start the switching process off.
