hello i have been i regular viewer on this site but this is my first post i have recently become very money wise mainly thanks to this site ,opening new accounts and switching existing ones to earn more money, my question is i have a mortgage with a good rate of 1%(luck i know) i can borrow back on this mortgage at the same rate, is it worth my while to do this and open a santander acount and recieve the 3% interest on offer.

You're not going to get rich doing this - the maximum deposit is £20k, which before tax equates to about £33pm at your SNR (Stooze Net Rate).
Only you can decide whether the reward is worth the effort.0 -
thanks, ill look into in ,my mortgage happens to be with santander as well do you thing they would catch on and do any thing about it i could also get the mortgage cash back as well which would be another few pounds0

I doubt that they'd notice. You could check the mortgage ts &cs, though.0

Is it worth the hassel?
Do you not alraedy get 1% cash back on the 123 current account.
Cashback - on household bills paid by Direct Debits:- 1% cashback on water, council tax bills and Santander mortgage payments (up to maximum monthly mortgage payments of £1,000)

I have not got my mortgage coming out of a santander account at the minute ,if myself and my wife both opened a 123 and I borrowed back 40000 we would have close to 600 pound a year in interest, just wondering is it as simple as borrow for the low rate and save at the higher rate.0

Plus a bit on cashback.
Less a bit of interest on monthly savings you could have made if you weren't making increased mortgage payments (if they adjust immediately rather than once per year?).0 -
Thanks for the info. What do you mean 400 pounds on the cash drawdown.0

Personally, I would do it in a heartbeat
So long as:
1) you can manage it properly
2) Your mortgage T&C's don't have an early repayment clause
3) Ear mark that money as "not yours" so that you're not tempted to go and spend it...0 -
Also, Santander 123 accounts offer 1% Cashback on Santander Direct Debit mortgage payments. (on the first £1000pm)
That's an extra £10pm there.0
