Has anyone closed their Santander Edge Saver and then immediately opened another, thereby in essence extending the maturity date and interest rate?

Just done it, account opened and showing in online banking within 10 minutes and funded with £4,000.

With CPI inflation at 3.2% (and probably falling), savers have never had it so good.

Not recently, but in 1990 they could get 16.67% with Nationwide, when inflation was sub 10%.

Thanks @soulsaver and @slinger2

Is anyone keeping any money in any Virgin money defined access e-saver accounts that have a rate drop coming up? 

Just wondering if it's worth leaving it open for a potential rise from the ashes.

I will likely have been among the first to apply using the guessed link and I'm yet to hear from them other than the email I've received thanking me for opening the account. That being said I haven't funded it yet.

Thanks both. I put a quid in it and have only had the welcome email too. It's showing in the account and the rate is showing at 5.2% now.

Ditto. Too.

Account seems to be for FAs to share with existing clients until they are "ready to invest". I doubt you'll hear from a Skipton FA, but wonder if they'll revoke the accounts as technically none of us are eligible.
