Virgin 2% up to £2000DireEmblem said:Back to thread topic, is there by any chance a community spreadsheet or something with the best rates out there?
I’m aware Virgin do 2% up to £1000, but what comes next?

An answer might be try www.money.co.uk ? Not a spreadsheet. But most comparison sites try to save you from manually searching masses of data.

By the way your post is a bit of a contradiction in terms. Thread topic is savings account. Virgin at 2% is a current account so not this thread.
If you use other sites to compare savings rates I doubt if Virgin would show up.
However I sympathies because sometimes its quite hard to tell the difference any more.
Saw Martin on his TV show talking of negative interest rates. OMG I hope not.2 -

Agreed, but why not three or four, or even more as some have reported on this site.Notepad_Phil said:

In my opinion though, opening more than one is clearly not an official option. Otherwise VM would have not restricted the interest to £1,000 and would have said, “open ten accounts and get 2% on £10,000”.0 -
I wonder if I opened a second account in my wife's name (but I fund the money), presumably that would work .... then there are my two cats (with 'human' names!).
