    I am hoping that my rate will increase to 2.25% but if not I will open a new Issue 2 and transfer my funds across.

    Has anyone else got any thoughts?  

    Edit: I have just checked on the VM page for rates on previously offered accounts and Issue 1 is showing at 2.25%. Hopefully they will update the rate on my online account in due course (plus an email also).

    I sent a message on CHAT asking if the rates will increase to 2.25% in line with the new ISA on offer and I was told that I would have to apply for a new ISA and transfer across.
    I was then asked if it was a sole or joint ISA I would be transferring :#

    I ended the chat session at that point.

    I am going to wait until tomorrow to see if the rates in my online account are updated.

    My linked saver is also increasing today from 1.70% to 2.00%, but that is still showing as 1.70% in my online page.

    When you say Linked Saver, which account is this please? Is it the M Plus Saver?

    So with Santander now being 3.35% on a 1 year fix and if you include the £50 voucher, that works out to be 3.85 on a £10k deposit. Does anyone know if they do pay out more than one voucher if you open more than 1 account and transfer more than 1 ISA (I know thier T&Cs say one per customer, that could be just account based)

    Correct, even though Penrith describe it as instant.
    (I guess it would be if you lived in Penrith)

    But ISA`s are designed to keep you out of tax so I wouldn`t imagine a lot of activity on the account once you deposit your funds.

    Anyone see a Penrith Isa transfer form?
    Can just get to the account application form. Seems they require an ID document also.
