Do BMW accept transfers?

Not the 6.7% one unfortunately.

They do have another one at 6% that does accept transfers.

I spoke to West Brom about it yesterday. It isn't up on their website at the moment. They told me that they can send out an application pack (with details about the account) if you call them on 0845 33 00 622.

As usual - different "adviser", different story.

I've just been told that they don't accept postal applications and this is a branch-based product only.

Typical. Why can't they give out consistent information? It is a good ISA if you can get to a branch.

Come on Kazza, this is a money saving forum, stop giving premium rate phone numbers when there are geo alternatives

Personally, I'm more bothered by 0870 telephone numbers and I try to avoid using them by using saynoto0870. I didn't give out the premium rate number, I quoted what was listed on the West Bromich BS website, hence the link to their contacts page. Please could we stay on the topic of ISAs on this thread.

0845 numbers are at local call rates. Therefore, unless you live in the Birmingham Area, it is cheaper to call the 0845 number, than the 0121 number (assuming you are using a standard BT landline).

Sorry to go off thread.


There is no such thing as local and national call rates now. Calling an 0121 will cost the same throughout the country so it doesn't matter if you are in Birmingham or Glasgow it's still 3p per minute during the day.

0845 numbers through the day is 2p per minute but there is also a 6p setup fee now. So for anything under 6 minutes it is cheaper not to use 0845.


However if you have call inclusive packages, an 0121 number will cost you nothing at all.

Even if you don't have a call inclusive package you can use call1899.com and it will only cost you 5p no matter how long you are on. Again an 0845 number will cost more.

So basically it is better to avoid 0845 as well if possible.

Hello peeps

The thread is drifting a little off-topic the post above by jem16 explains this in adequate detail, additionally, please take the time to read Martin's article: Say no to 0870! Cut call costs to these hideous numbers

Dialling an 01/02 number instead of an 0845 is definitely in the spirit of moneysaving and it's great where these alternative numbers can be found and listed for all moneysavers to benefit: www.saynoto0870.com

Kazza242,

You need to update the interest rate for the Guaranteed BMW Performance ISA shown on page 1 of this forum. It has now gone up from 6.67% to 6.70%.

Absolutely correct, some people will never learn, or accept advice,and believe the hype,(lies), that companies still,(illegally), give out re "local" & "national" rate charges.

p.s. there is also a 6p set up fee for 01/02 numbers.

And the quotes are for a BT line all others and mobiles will cost more,( mobiles up to 40p per minute, 01/02 numbers since 1st August 2007 are now 3.25p per minute!
