question regarding small savings

Options
If I want to save £1,000 is it better to put it into one account (perhaps ISA) or two seperate accounts?

    Maybe I don't understand something, but I don't see any advantages of splitting this amount to 2 accounts ... :confused:

    If you can put £1000 into one ISA, do so.

    Stick it into a 5% paying ISA. Look at A&L and Halifax for example.

    One account.. as you can only open ONE CASH ISA per tax year.

    And its easier to manage, switch and when you get say above £10k you'l likely be able to get better rates.
