Thrifty Girl:

ive just seen this today and on the website it says:
DUE TO HIGH DEMAND WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND THAT YOU APPLY IN BRANCH OR VIA THE POSTAL APPLICATION BELOW.
WEB APPLICATIONS WILL BE ACCEPTED UP TO 5 DAYS FOLLOWING ANY WITHDRAWAL OF THE OFFER.

May be if i post this tommorrow it will be accepted?

I think it's worth a try as there's not really anything else that comes close for transfers. I sent mine recorded delivery just to make sure it gets there. I can see a few forms going 'missing' with this level of demand.

Yes, I'm hoping this internet rule actually means postal applications. I will post if I hear anything.

• 13 months+ Fixes:
• Kent Reliance BS Fixed Rate (Postal) ISA - 3.25%
• 
  Minimum deposit: £100.
  Notes: Fixed until 31/12/2011.
  

Shouldn't this now be under a heading entitled "short-term fixes", as it's only got 8 1/2 months to run?

Ha!

It's got so bad, I don't even know what year it is!

KTF

Launching April 19. Clydesdale and Yorkshire bank will have a new (branch only) 3 year ISA @ 3.90%. Transfers in are allowed.

Website details here: http://www.ybonline.co.uk/personal/savings/tax-efficient-savings/cash-isa-fixed-rate-bond/cash-isa-fixed-rate-bond

Edit: Assuming my calculations are correct, the NR 3 year Stepped ISA (3.5%, 4%, 4.5%) still beats this with an average of 4% over the term so I wont have to drive half way up the country to my local Yorkshire Bank branch to open one

KTF

Northern Rock have a new 1 year fixed rate cash ISA out. 3% fixed until 15/05/11. Transfers in not allowed:

From reading the blurb on your link KTF, surely it states transfers in are NOT allowed?

Ah yes. My bad. I have amended my original post.

Clydesdale Cash ISA Fixed Rate Bond - Web Applications will be accepted up to 5 days following any withdrawal of the offer

Just a quick note for those who were wondering if downloading the transfer form and posting it would be successful.

I posted mine on the 13th April – the day it was withdrawn and have received a letter today “ to assure me” that the ISA is “secured” and I will receive confirmation within 14 days to confirm the account is opened.

Reckon others will be receiving their letter soon.
