Nationwide - opinions?

I never thought I'd see the day when my money returned to Nationwide, but I've opened a 3.1% e-ISA last weekend to tidy up 2 Santander ones (2010/11 and an onother containing 3 older subscriptions that did the rounds at Abbey, Barclays and Santander).
Also renewed my 1 year fix at Dunfermline at 3.2%.
Have NW's TV adverts thinned out a bit? Anyone see a correlation?
Santander are currently getting this year's max subscription if they send me their stuff.
--Savings: 26/09/14 the day I reached 100k, 24/07/20 200k, 23/08/24 300k
Completed on first house 18/07/25 £300k and mortgage-free
Student Loan paid off 03/07/24
Savings £39k

    You feign surprise at Nationwide being competitive and yet you are going to Santander?
    Nationwide may not be at the leading edge, but Santander!!!

    Santander Flexible ISA 3.5% doesn't allow transfers in, otherwise I'd skip Nationwide this year.
