    yes i currently have a few 1000 left on this years isa before i start using the e-savings Reward again.

    the Monthly Savings account gives you 3.20% when no withdraw is made and you save the max £250 a month. i set this up as my isa last year become full and i needed somewhere to put the money and this seemed a good option? i am not tied i could close the account any time? the way i looked at it was the 3.20% even after tax it was higher than the 1.25% even if it was a lower amount.

    basically i got a new job about a year ago so i am now in a place where i can save a lot of money just don't no what the best way.

    3.2% sounds okay on face value, but it's not the best available, per link in post 2 above
