Lloyds/TSB ISA offer 3.3%

Just to say I was told this offer has a 160 day penalty for early withdrawal, it is actually only 90 days according to the details I received.

    You're lucky you were offered a fixed follow-on rate. They only offered me the variable rate. Maybe you were offered a special 90 day penalty, when others have 160 - who knows? It happened last year as well. I'm fed up with Lloyds picking and choosing who they will give offers to, so I'm off!

    It allows transfers in I think but its for 24 months rather than A&L 1 year offering will offer 2.7% above the base rate (or 3% if you signed up to the 3.5% offering which has been withdrawn).

    M&S had 4% for 3 years - gone now I think with a max penalty of £100 to withdraw early.

    I wasnt lucky, I had to phone up to get this offer after reading of it on here, Freephone no 0800 0150060. Did you actually contact them and ask? BTW i think the Fixed rate is 160 days notice, they put a leaflet in for the normal rate by mistake.

    No, I had my variable rate offer through the post, with no mention of the fixed rate offered to some others. It was worse last year, with many being offered a good FR offer. Not me though - I wasn't good enough. Thing is though, if it wasn't for websites like this, you would never know!
