Worse still, Nationwide have yet to announce any interest rate increases in response to either that Feb B of E base rate increase of 0.5% or even the previous mid Dec B of E base rate rise of 0.5%!

This account no longer available to new customers, or even to open for existing customers.
It is still paying that rate to qualifying members, who opened one whilst still available.

I know the account is no longer available however that wasn't the question.
The question that I answered was;

Is there anyone getting better than 3.2% on any access account?  

For something still available, as @Bridlington1 pointed out, YBS Rainy Day Saver @3.35% is not bad either.

How is anyone meant to know you knew if you didn't mention it?
For those who don't know, "more complete" answers are helpful, and avoid further questions like where are these accounts?. 
The way I interpreted the question, was aaj123 seeking advice on where to get the best rate.
I could have said 3.25% at Coventry, but no one can sign up for it now.
There must be plenty of people getting between 3.5>4.0% on here who didn't reply, for the same reason.

I suppose you make a fair point.
The fact I interpreted it differently, as in "is anyone getting more than 3.2%" whereas you interpreted as "can anyone get more than 3.2%" is proof enough that a little more clarity would have helped.

And on the subject of clarity, is there a chance that Tandem will make it clear how you qualify for the 'Top Up' :

'A C C O U N T N A M E Instant Access Savings Account

W H A T I S T H E I N T E R E S T R A T E ? Your underlying interest rate is 2.85% AER* / 2.81% Gross** (variable) If a Top Up is applied to your account: Your Top Up is 0.35% AER*(variable) Your total interest rate is 3.20% AER* / 3.15% Gross** (variable)'

Thanks for that. Hope you didn't think I was being picky, just thought any extra info could be helpful.

IIRC it's rather 'opt-in' than 'qualify'

Yes, you ”opt-in” to the extra 0.35% Top up within the Tandem app.
