I bet many of us with the 5.2 account at Santander, dropping on 20 May, also ended up getting the 5.12% cahoot one, certainly for me that's my next best at the moment. I think it likely cahoot, being part of Santander, will also drop, especially if a lot of people transfer in. That is my intention, even though I also have a 5.15% account elsewhere.

The added bonus is cahoot also has the 60 day notice-of-reduction window.

I thought the Cahoot one was also 5.2%. Is that one reducing too?

Cahoot sunny day saver is 5.20%, Cahoot simple saver is 5.12%

Cahoot sunny day saver is 5.20%, Cahoot simple saver is 5.12%

Sunny Day saver only pays interest on the first £3,000

Ulster Loyalty Saver still offering 5.2% on balances £5,000 and over I believe

I will be withdrawing on 20 May.  Looks like I've got a few other 5.2% (Ulster, DF, Coventry Triple, two Sunny Cahoots) at the moment, but all of them might drop their rates soon, you never know.  I have plenty of 5%+ as a back up.. we'll see what the picture is on 20th May, it might be that Skipton tracker ends up to be a winner.  I also keep £1k (min requirement to keep it open) in Mansfield 90 days' notice tracker - this pays BoE rate and has no end.

I did get the Cahoot account, also the Beehive limited issue easy access at 5.20 which looks like being useful now.

Cahoot sunny day saver is 5.20%, Cahoot simple saver is 5.12%

What confused me is you apply for Cahoot Simple Saver (current issue 3 is 4.10%/4.02% it seems)but online (when you login) it shows up as Cahoot Savings Account, in emails it shows as Cahoot Instant Access.

Sunny Day Saver is the only consistent branding.

Also further confusion in regards to Cahoot: they mention you need two letters & 3 parts to be able to login, that wasn't true for me.

I didn't have to put both sets off numbers revealed by scratch off panels to complete registration/online access.

They also mention telephone banking and needing a 16 digit card number but Cahoot don't do current accounts anymore do they?.

Seems Cahoot might need to update, otherwise change things with branding etc.

I didn't get the offer, had over £500 in the CHASE account. I use it a lot, money in and out. Every time its gets to £1000 I move it on. It would stay there had they offered me the 5.1%. Never mind.
