Quicky: Bonus Interest/Fixed Rate Ending

Just a quick question, if you open a savings account with
a) a Fixed Rate
b) a Bonus Rate for a fixed period

When does it end? Is it;

a) When you open the account?
b) When you make your first deposit into the account?

Does this vary between accounts/banks?

    I would expect it to be the anniversary of opening the account - but you need to read the T&Cs of the account in question to be certain.

    Oh look, yet another incarnation of the freaking spammers - if their "product" was any good they wouldn't need to spam this place so incessantly.

    It varies. Knowing the T&Cs for the individual account is the key!
