Hi all

My wife's Virgin E-ISA issue 1 rate is dropping to 1.5% however they have some exclusive fixed rate offers for an alternative ISA. These are:

2% until 26th May 15
2.4% until 26th May 17
3% until 26th May 19

Given the terrible rates at the minute, do you think it's worthwhile moving to the 2% fixed rate for a year? Can't see getting anything better.

Cheers

Hi

if you don't mind me asking, have virgin advised the account issue numbers for these three options?

2% until 26th May 15 (issue 65)
2.4% until 26th May 17 (issue 66)
3% until 26th May 19 (issue 67)

As far as I am aware, these are exclusive to current Virgin customers with the E-ISA Issue 1.

That's what I was told today when I tried to open one of these – in fact one person I spoke to said that these ISAs did not even exist, despite the fact that they feature on the Virgin Money website!:T

and issue 2. I've got an E-ISA issue 2, and received an e-mail about the interest rate cut, and these exclusive fixed rate ISAs.

Think I am going to fix for a year as there doesn't appear to be anything better out there at the minute.
