    Yes but I've always had to wait a few days before the next one. Definitely worth doing though (net of 3.2% for me)

    The tax rules are scheduled to change anyway from April so when the next interest payment is made it will be paid gross with interest falling within the £500/£1000 savings interest allowance.

    4% gross interest, less 20% tax at moment for me - but as mdmd says that should improve

    as above, yes..
    you can start the next one the day after the previous one matures.
    i'm into my 4th back-to-back now.
    i leave an Instant Access account open with them to collect the maturity.
    and good point above.. the few good rates of interest around will become significantly more appealing once the new tax rules come in:T

    you can earn up to £200 a year more than before, as long as you are not an advanced rate tax payer.

    those rates being paid gross are still good news though

    Sure, I was agreeing with you. Worth up the £200 extra a year without raising a finger.
