A&L Online saver issue 5

dangerousbrian1

I currently have an onlinesaver issue 5 on which the bonus ends this month, so I’m running out of time with this savings account due to the bonus ending, and have just returned from my holidays and thought I would sort this out and I went online recently to see what my options are and found online saver issue 7 was best suited my situation, I have now found that I have no options, as there is only esaver through Santander and not A&L, to which I have been told would be a separate account and not an A&L account which is no good to me as I don’t want two accounts, I was told best wait until everything is migrated over to Santander before opening anything new, but due to my interest will revert back to 0.5% I feel I will be losing out here financially due to the migration over to Santander as I cannot open anything new A&L or Santander, all I wanted was to transfer all my money to a new A&L online saver issue7,I feel I’m losing out here& before I move all of my money out to another provider because I have no options could anyone help me out as I’m not a happy customer and as I just wanted an A&L onlinesaver issue7 and not esaver. Why did they not tell us that there was a cut off date for closing all a&L products and when migration was going to happen?:mad:

If the bonus of 1.65% is payable until 2 August 2010, why not just close the account on that date and the interest will be calculated daily up until that point and given to you on that day of closure, I have done this before and you do not have to wait until 1stoctober for the interest payment date, than move your money else where!

I too have an online issue saver 5 and as rate expires soon I was looking for a new account.

Where did you see the online 7 emaraldbugle and what was the rate?

I have just been throught he accounts and can't find it.

The best I can see there is an eSaver offering 2.5% which includes a 2% bonus for 12 months.

Sorry for the delay in replying. I must have applied just before the cut off. It seems they are only offering the esaver now.
