Swtching ISAs

I wish to switch to a better ISA but the higher rate product doesn't take transfers.
eg Santander. They pay 2.75% on transfers but 3.5% for new investors.
So is it theoretically possible to transfer money into the low interest ISA then transfer to a higher rate ISA later once you're a customer?

Check out this link mate. http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/savings/best-cash-isa
Isas either allow transfers in or not. You have to fill out a isa transfer form. I have done this in the past and its been quite painless. Best to post this type of thing on the savings board.Mortgage Start jun 2007 £88500 Outstanding Balance £51000

No you can't.
The higher rate is for new customers. As soon as you take out the first ISA, you are no longer a new customer, sorry.0 -
you cant do that if you have put money in one cash isa already.Mortgage Start jun 2007 £88500 Outstanding Balance £51000
