Selftrade cash isa

Hey, I just wondered if there is a reason why the selftrade cash ISA isn't listed in any of the top buys.

It pays 2.51%, accepts transfers in and has online access.


I'm a little unsure about how the bonus rate works though, as described here:

Am I missing something?

    Probably because nobody has seen it yet. It sounds almost to good to be true but I can't see any real snags. Perhaps the only one is that you would lose the bonus if you wanted to transfer during the financial year but it's just a term that people need to be aware of.

    I have posted a link to your post in Kazza's thread.
