  • I have to agree it's very tempting but then I return to reality and remember that we are talking about Virgin with whom I have no confidence and I wouldn't dream of opening another account with them.

    Everyone knows the limit is £85k.
    You go over at your own risk.
    That`s it.

    NS&I being the exception.

    You can thank me later when Gatehouse increase their rate. Have been away a couple of weeks but have just cleared down to £1.

    Have also had to message Cynergy. Think I've hit the 20 account limit someone else mentioned a while back! Have had email confirming Issue 64 set up but it is not visible.

    A good rate, today, however, likely to be beaten in next few days/week imo.

    From their product info, this is one of those accounts that it appears you cannot leave with a £1 in, should you move your funds elsewhere.

    You can make unlimited withdrawals without notice or loss of interest, providing you keep at least £1,000 in your account at all times.

    I switched to the new issue this morning and it took about half an hour for the new account to appear. What's this about a limit of 20 accounts though? I must have missed that.

    Think I've now been caught by it as opened new account on Friday evening but still no sign.  Will be moving from Cynergy if I have to go through the rigamorale described in the link

    Cynergy has a software bug that on random occasions opens an account which doesn't appear in your list.

    Then. after a few days they start sending you emails about an account that you haven't funded & when you check you can't see any non funded accounts. 

    Happened to me a couple of times.

    Open another by fast track and as sure as eggs you'll be able see it. You'll still get the funding reminders for the ghost ac... which you can just ignore.

    ETA I've just done the Cynergy fast track.. and new account immediately visible. So if that didn't happen, it's likely disappeared into their twilight zone...
