As mentioned in this forum earlier, Saga has now announced its latest fixed rates for 6 and 12 months:

Not the best, but if you're 50+ and trying to spread cash around, might be worth considering.

    I think that's a very good deal, (un)fortunately I'm not old enough ;)

    Thanks, I guess not many people under 50 would want to open it anyway. Thats why they are not restricting the account to people over 50.

    I certainly would the fixed rate account - it's higher than a 6.5% one I've recently just opened elsewhere! ;)

    Anyone know how long it's taking them to present the cheques.

    With the last one I did it took 2 weeks !

    I have just started (today) to open the 1 year fixed monthly at 6.8%, have been told when the pack arrives open it with £1 then contact them when the icesave cash arrives, just hope the rate stays the same until it does.
