I couldn't open an account from the app but it allowed me to do it from the email link.

OK.  I've now received the email which links to terms on the website, and it is definitely targeted:-

"If you're eligible for the Chase saver with a boosted rate, you'll see an option to open it in the Chase app, from 'Save & Invest'.

From time to time we run offers that are available to customers at different points in their relationship with Chase. The Chase saver with a boosted rate is a limited offer that isn't available to everyone right now."

I think that this is a big mistake by Chase and will only hack people off.

Just read the T&Cs on the Chase boosted saver, looks like you can only get this if you don't have a Chase saver already/ or the balance on all of them was below £500 on 8th March

I had an existing Chase Saver with a zero balance but could open a new one which has the 5.1%. The existing one stayed at 4.1%

Already have old savings account with only £4 in it, for the 5.1% it says its expired or not available to me

Currently got money saved in Chip at 4.85% so if we get the Chase offer come through then I'll move the funds to Chase at 5.10%.

Try tapping 'add' above you current saver account. Boosted saver was an additional option for me.

Probably the only reason for me to go back to chase when the Santander rate drops.

Yep. I keep £1000 in the saver because I like having it immediately available for unexpected purchases. But if they refuse to honour the higher rate, I'm going to pull it.

It really annoys me when companies fob existing customers off like this. When Moneybox dropped the rate for existing (but not new) ISA customers, it was enough to push me to transfer, even though the new rate was only marginally better and I probably wouldn't have bothered otherwise.
