Marcus definitely now 1.0%

So I’ve just moved 17K back into there from Atom!

Is it also worth putting in the £25K & 15K from Virgin Money Saver & Zopa too, so that there is 57K solely earning the 1.0% interest under one roof or keep the 3 accounts separate?

I’ve maxed out the Chase account already btw

Marcus increased to 1.% from today 8th April but they have increased the existing account to the new rate no need to update bonus 

You still need to go to account and renew bonus so it runs for a year from today (in unlikely event  rates don't change in that year) otherwise your bonus will expire on date you last renewed it.

What a pain. My devices are all below these levels.

Already showing bonus expires 8th April 2023. With all the fast changing accounts that 0.10% bonus looks miserly

Sorry I should have said bonus expires 7th March 2023 could extend to 8th March 2023 with the same bonus but not bothering yet.

Think you need to relook at your account! Yours appears to say will expire 7th March 2023 so 11 months time so could extend to a year from today 8th April 2023 not extend to 8th March 2023 For the 10 seconds it takes to renew rate I regularly do it anyway as we saw in recent past rates crash far quicker than they rise!!

Thank you for the correction brain not working yet

The bonus has actually extended to 7th April 2023 I expect Saga will up their rates as they are linked to Goldman Sachs too.

I have days like that!! I was more pointing it out for people who maybe renewed months ago just to remind them the new bonus would expire in a few months and not the whole year from todays date of rate increase.
