    How do I close a Chase Saver ? I see no option to close in the app. Do I have to ask their CS ?

    It would seem that more Chase customers are now able to get the 5.1% boosted saver rate

    previously boosted 1% finished in Nov, but for the customers from today it ends in Jan
    Thanks Poke Master. Manage to open it today. I want to download the the TCs or at least KPI but can not find. The only document I could find is this:
    I understand the rate is 4.1%+1% Bonus until January 16, 2025.
    Also it is easy access, there is no limit of the number of withdrawal, we withdraws and add back to this account at any time. IS my understanding correct, Thx

    Close Brothers Savings Easy Access Account Issue 4 now 4.9% (£10k min)

    In addition the Chase Saver Account at 5.1% (includes 1% bonus) could possibly be worth being included in the top 10 given the new eligibility criteria for the top rate?? (see posts by @pokemaster and @EthicsGradient)




    Messaged Chase asking if I need to close my account to get it.

    Their CS when pushed after the usual non reply, have replied I/you/one can't have 2 boosted rates at the same time.  Fortunately I have several EA 5.20% rate options still, so I'll not sweat it. 

    If I was minded to progress it, I'd be asking why wouldn't I just close the account(s)... and then apply again to get it?

    ETA : In fact that's what I've just done: Closed the existing boosted saver and got offered the the extended boosted saver...  :+1:


     OK we have the intel... Added to ToTP ranks, Thanks @Bridlington1 and @pokemaster and @EthicsGradient

    Chase staff gave me incorrect information again.  When I rang yesterday afternoon, I asked if I closed my existing boosted account, could I then open the Jan 25 one, she said no.  I'm hesitant at trying this, because I wasn't offered the first one without having to get to a complaint level (though I fitted the spec).

    Edit:  Successfully closed and re-opened.

    Is this what everyone is experiencing?  Last thing I want to do is close my 5.1% boosted Nov Chase savings and then not be able to get the 5.1% on the new account?

    Thanks
