I don't believe it, at least by as much as we've lost, but it will be interesting to see who is right!

Does the bonus rate expire on the anniversary of the account being opened or when it was launched?

I wrote 12 months from account opening on my spreadsheet at the time.

They still haven't told me ..... but I'll be moving most of my cash out on the 17th

Email says "Any additional bonus rate that may be applicable to your account is not affected."

So you should still get it until your 12 months are up

No email yet, but moved most out today thanks to MSEarlywarning...

Probably temporary until Coventry hit online saver #3 (#2 got 'The News' recently).

No email to me yet either but I also have moved out a large proportion just now. Hopefully it'll get to my linked account by Friday to faster pay on elsewhere.

Still no notification received, but I have shifted the bulk of my cash into my Santander esaver (3.2%) .... left a nominal amount to keep the account open, just in case.

Quick question - I didn't think it was possible to transfer to any other account than your linked account. I know I tried adding another one once (there's a 'Add Nominated account' link), but it actually changed it rather than added it. Had to phone to change back.

And still on the day before the change - no notification. Bad!
