Lloyds TSB 4% interest rate bank account

It's called the Vantage, and it's open to new and existing account holders alike.
Take a look:

It needs £1000 per month turnover and it pays 4% on balances between £5,000 and £7,000. If you already have a Lloyds TSB account, and you manage your banking online, it's worth converting to it as it doesn't cost any more to do so.
Any balance above £7,000 is simply credited at the normal, miserly rate of 0.1% - but you still get the 4% on the first £7,000.
Depending on the size of your stooz pot, it may be worth a look.

Thanks for the post King Drax I.
This seems to be free, and have no catches. What have I missed? It's paying more than the eSavings acount...0 -
hmm...
139144 - Account Upgrade : Your account already provides you with the very best benefits and savings available from Lloyds TSB on a range of banking and other services.
Click on any of the left hand menus to continue.
Can't see any extra criteria to indicate why this wouldn't be possible, but oh well.0 -

When I tried a few weeks ago I could not do an online upgrade so I called them, they did it over the phone.

Few question:-
Can this be done to a joint account?
Whats the penality if you go below £7K?
And are you sure it doesnt cost to upgrade from a normal current account?0 -
Lots of discussion over in the bank accounts forum....
Note it's a tiered rate. Drop below 5K and the rate drops so you need to keep moving cash in/out to stay between £5&7K and still meet the rqmt to credit the a/c with £1K per month.0 -
I popped into Lloyds on Saturday for a "review" well I'd got nothing better to do and I do like their coffee. I must admit that I was expecting to be shown details about life insurance, contents insurance, pet insurance etc. etc. but nothing of the kind. Vantage was suggested to me. I had transferred to Classic Plus last summer and have maintained a £2.5k balance since then. I was informed that Classic Plus is now paying 1.89% but for an extra 500 quid I could exceed this with Vantage. I'm thinking about it.0

Yes it can be a joint account, I switched our Classic current account over to Vantage a few weeks ago. There is no penalty if you have less than £7,000, they pay 4% up to a maximum balance of £7,000. Anything over that only gets a very low rate of interest. Also, you must have at least £1,000 per month going into the account. No it doesn't cost anything to upgrade to this account.Stopped smoking 27/12/2007, but could start again at any time :eek:0 -

Between £5K and £7K gets the 4% below is on a sliding scale down and above £7K is the normal dismal rate. The only problem (if you can call it that) is trying to keep as high as you can with all the incomings and outgoings each month.
