Did those of you opening the new Chase until-Jan-2025 boosted savings account already have a boosted-until-Nov account? Because, although their web pages say 

"You are eligible to get this offer if on 2 May 2024:

(a) you didn’t have a Chase saver account; or

(b) you had one or more Chase saver account(s) but the balance across all of those Chase saver accounts was below £50,000."

and I qualify under (b), having about £30 in a boosted-until-Nov account, I don't get anything talking about the new boost or 5.1% - just 4.1%. Do you have to go into the "add an account" process and get beyond naming it before they mention the 5.1%/boost?

The new Boosted Saver to January 2025 is called the Boosted Saver Two.  I think Chase are treating the November and January Boosted Savers as different offers for ‘eligible’ customers and their website also states that you cannot hold more than one Boosted Saver at any one time. 

yes, I asked their support, who've said if you had opened the November-ending Boosted Saver you wouldn't qualify for this one.

@soulsaver
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... 

ETA2: OK we have the intel... Added to ToTP listing, Thanks @Bridlington1@pokemaster and @EthicsGradient

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

You need to tap into the saving account first then click the 3 dots at the top right

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:

https://www.chase.co.uk/gb/en/legal/chase-saver-account-terms-and-conditions/

https://www.chase.co.uk/gb/en/product/chase-saver-account/

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

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.

I've closed/opened a new boosted chase saver also, thanks soulsaver for trying it out. Although I'm having issues setting up standing orders on it atm
