    click on your own name for your public profile and view statistics.

    You'll see the posts by xylophone and eskbanker that you thanked on this thread: https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/5001724 about a month ago.

    Worth mentioning the BOS vantage mentioned on that thread only pays 3% these days while Lloyds Club is now 4% if you have enough in it.

    And you can get a free £5 a month just by operating a Halifax Reward current account even if the average balance is a pound, as long as you meet the other terms and conditions.

    Oh and if you have an old current account you don't mind closing, places like Halifax and First Direct will give you £100 welcome bonus just to say hello when you switch.

    So with all that in combination there's lots of ways you can deploy your £12-13k and get a ton of interest, if you can be bothered with setting them all up.
