Suggestions before the 3% rate gets worse

I'm just wondering where stoozers stand on this recent rate cut.
As a tax paying, small time stoozer, is it still going to be worthwhile holding the funds if rates keep dropping? Some of the BT fees were 3%, which means I need at least 3.75% gross interest just to break even on those. As a small time stoozer who doesn't have enough 0% time left to lock funds into a 7% + account for a full year, I'm looking before I leap in the hope of keeping out of trouble. Any helpful suggestions gratefully received, thank you

Thanks for that! I've used ICICI for the past while, but keep seeing little warning signs that are making me a bit wary.I reserve the right not to spend.
