    This 'major competitor' has probably got wind of this 'embargo' until the 11th.....and hence placed their own embargo!!

    Like a Mexican stand-off!

    Have received a letter from M&S saying the Advantage cash ISA rate will drop from 2.25% (which it has only just dropped to this week) to 1.30% on 10th May 2013.

    That was a short lived one for me! I am in the middle of transferring out anyway.

    Me too. Got to find somewhere else now!

    Had some bumf from National Counties Building Society recently whitch had a cryptic comment about "watch out for our new Online ISA". Has anyone seen hide or hair of it yet?

    On a more general point ... Easter ... this year it falls just before the end of the tax year, may have to jump a bit earlier than usual to avoid the crush.

    The Santander Cash ISA article on the Guardian website, is no longer subject to an embargo. The article is available again, dated Saturday 9 March 2013. See here.

    No, we don't know at this time. Though, I am wondering if it is Halifax.

    Selftrade appear to have reduced their Cash ISA rate from 2.51% to 1.96% AER (0.25% variable rate and 1.71% fixed rate bonus).
