That is correct - you shouldn't try and do more than that in one go.

I did my 3 last week and then the other two this week.

Did you already have 6k in three and then do the others ?

No, I wish, only in two of the original 3. The others are just there for when some bonds mature in the future.

Maybe thats why they didnt notice.

I asked in branch today to upgrade my second account. They told me that my account had already been upgraded on the 11th September. I told them that was my first account and my second definitely had not been upgraded. They had no idea, fetched someone else who had a look and then said "You can only apply the 4% to one account, do you want me to move it to your second account?".

It seems like phoning them up is the easiest way!

Just opened one of these accounts. So should one leave £6000 in everyday and then just remove the interest every month. Or should one put in less money I think someone suggested £5850 to allow for accured interest?

The difference between doing either is probably just pennies.

Thanks to you all for all your helpful tips. I have just opened up new Tesco internet saver accounts and set up the requisite direct debits to my 3 Vantage accounts so that I can qualify for the 4% interest rate. Do I now need to pass the new Tesco savings account numbers and sort code details onto Lloyds TSB to activate the direct debits correctly? I'm new to all this so please excuse what might appear to be a numpty question! Thanks

Tesco will contact LTSB with the details of the DD and set this up for you.

I think we need to put £6000 in for the rest of october, and then November put £5990 in and see what the different in interest is.
