    In that vein, crystal ball time. TSB, if they ever get their online application sorted out , likely hood in your opinion of them upping the rate to 5%, in other words do you renew now or hang on and hope?

    Well apparently you'd have to go in-branch - no online renewal ATM.

    I renewed one on the phone but people think I was just lucky...

    That's a good question. Personally, I'm unlikely to renew initially, trying to cut back my accounts, and 2% doesn't excite much these days. Certainly not going into branch for it.

    I think it's unlikely we'll get back up to 5%. The current account 5% was knee-jerk damage control, that phase is over. We might get an increase to something a bit more competitive. The good news is that I doubt they'll play any 'new customer only' games for quite a while, so it's still a possibility if they do go down that path.

    I hope their online current account applications open up soon so that I can attempt to open another Classic Plus...

    If you already have one then I'm pretty sure they no longer allow you to open a second.

    You can open a joint a/c as a second account, but not a second sole account anymore. Only one sole a/c per person!! :)

    I love my job
