UK Accounts paying 6.7% & 8.0% for year long saving

wonko

Couple of things landed on the door mat this week.
First up the bonus payment from Nationwide (merger with Portman B Soc)

Nationwide are offering a 1 year loyalty fixed rate bond paying 6.7% AER/Gross pa guaranteed for the whole term of the bond, usually only available to existing customers for three years or more, now open to all existing customers until October 31st 2007.

First Direct are about to have a re-juggle of their accounts re-naming and improving (?) existing t's & c's.
They are on the cusp (seems to be from November 1st) of offering a regular saver account between £25 and £300 monthly. For this, they will reward you with 8% AER/Gross for a year. Rate will drop after that but you can always move and no, you cannot make any withdrawals during the year, else the rate will drop to the normal Savings Account.
