I did the National Counties ISA both this year and last. I've been very, very impressed with the service. They are contactable online, by phone and post. Responses are always prompt (dealt with immediately) and the staff very helpful.0

Is the 1% bonus on the Barclays ISA dropped just for new starters or everyone.I took out one about 3 months ago.Should I look to transfer out?
Thanks

cslogg - Barclays has told us:
"Existing customers who have purchased our Golden ISA from 9 March to 31 May 2009 will continue to receive a market leading interest rate of 3.61% AER including the 1% bonus which is paid for 12 months from the date the account is opened."*** Get the Martin's Money Tips Free E-mail at www.moneysavingexpert.com/tips ***0 -
Looks like your "Top One Year Fixed Rate" needs to be updated too, as the FirstDirect e-ISA has dropped to 2% :-(0

Oh god, it;s gonna be one of those where you phone Barclays and they say "No the rate has dropped for EVERYONE" then MSE will say "No, it's been confimed"Originally Posted by Dr Cuckoo3

As I posted on another thread I opened the ISA yesterday after checking the rate was still 3.61 on their webpage then I read on here they had dropped it later in the day but they are now saying I will only get the lower amount. I've complained that they should have altered their webpage and am waiting to hear.0

If you are unsuccessful, you have 14 days to cancel the Golden ISA and look elsewhere - see my post #332 in this thread.As I posted on another thread I opened the ISA yesterday after checking the rate was still 3.61 on their webpage then I read on here they had dropped it later in the day but they are now saying I will only get the lower amount.

That's great news - thanks for pointing me to that. It seems to say I could just close it without losing the taxfree benefit rather than having to transfer it which could take a while.0
