When I opened the new accounts a couple of days ago, I got 1.4% and that is what is showing online.

It's also been plugged for a long time as paying 1.4% AER in the 'best savings account' article on the main site.

I opened an internet saver today and the message displayed said they would check identity against the Electoral Register unless they had previously already done so. Nothing about a credit check.

Sorry, I got mixed up with my checks mate

Very odd! Maybe it went up briefly and then down again although that does seem unlikely.

Either that or I'm losing the plot.

Applied for my fourth internet saver account a couple of weeks ago via the link when logged in.

Account opened OK but was set up "in a separate folder" according to the CSA when I queried why it was not visible. Now visible alongside all my other accounts after she "sent an e-mail".

Have to say Tesco is the crappiest on line system (other than the Post Office LOL!!) of the many that I use. I seem to regularly have to re-register my PC , which is a complete ball ache as it never seems to work with IE and I have to go through the rigamarole once more in Chrome.

Meh. Not so fussed about this. I pay in around £24/year in to Tesco. I cba doing this for a measly 33.6p/year extra (pre tax) compared to the 18p/year I get now

Think my time is worth more than 15p/year

Besides, that "lost" money is re-couped by quite a lot, at other banks so...

I also opened a Tesco internet saver, last weekend. As part of the new customer checks, they are asking for a certified copy of my signature.

At this point i gave up. Its crazy, I've opened up dozens of Current Account / Credit Cards this year, never come accross something so cumbersome just for a measly 1.4%
