    Thanks for the heads up.
    I wonder if Marcus records will show lots of savers logging in today, activating the bonus and logging out again, no other activity; and if so will they be marked as being on a grapevine?

    Possibly, or perhaps they are just people who check their email frequently.
    Don't think anyone had an email about this as yet.
    I received a confirmation email after I activated the new bonus rate so am unlikely to receive one advising me of its availability. I guess many on here will be in a similar position.

    I grabbed the bonus this morning and received a confirmation email.
    Just got another email informing me about the bonus with instructions how to claim it

    Hi,

    only 0.1%, but that's a 25% increase in interest for a year.

    I've activated the bonus rate, but it's not going to make a huge difference to the £1 I've got saved there :)

    This is not investment advice.
    Your money may go "down and up and down and up and down and up and down ... down and up and down and up and down and up and down ... I got all tricked up and came up to this thing, lookin' so fire hot, a twenty out of ten..."

    Set up the bonus rate yesterday. Went again today, just out of interest, to see if I could reset the bonus rate and I could so a new 12 month period has started. Something maybe to do every so often while bonus is still available
