Halifax ISA Upgrade
Options

I current have the Instant ISA Saver with Halifax which pays a paltry 0.25% interest. I have about £14,000 in this account but have seen on the Halifax Website that I can upgrade to the Online ISA with a slightly better 1.0% (and 0.80% 12 month bonus).
As the Tax year is almost ended, i'm just wondering as to whether I should upgrade now or wait until after April 5th. Will I still get the 0.25% interest if I upgrade? Also, does upgrading the account mean that you are using up your £15k allowance, therefore i'll only be able to put £1,000 in by the 5th of April? It takes 5 working days for the upgrade.
Thanks.

Are you aware you can get 3% with Santander? It's not an ISA but way better than the 1% you're quoting.Remember the saying: if it looks too good to be true it almost certainly is.0
