5.5% is pretty competitive for a 1 year fixed rate deal, but some people find fixed rate bonds too restrictive.  With my Cahoot account I can deposit or withdraw sums whenever I choose, but you can't do that with fixed rate deals.

Also, if BOE base rate increases and a better deal comes along, I can move my money without penalty:).  That's why I bother .
