Chase UK discussion

That's a pity I used it a lot with eBay.

Is there an alternative to Chase, as in having multiple savings pots, with instant access, paying 3%? 

I already have accounts with HSBC and NatWest. These both appear to have instant access savings paying 1.5%.

So that's the end of it: from 7/4 no more cashback except for groceries, select transport, and fuel, and no cashback at all outside of UK or payment in non-GBP.

even less reason to use it now............... might have to get the T212 card now........

Thanks for reminding me about T212's card - 0.5% cashback without qualifying deposits, and 4.whatever% interest.  I suspect it won't last long, but it's worth a punt.

More than half the things I buy with Chase are no longer eligible, coupled with poor saver rate. 

I've run my figures and if I revert to my Amex cashback card I'll only be about £2 worse off per month. However no more  moving £1500 back and forth every month, or moving money from Chase saver to chase spend current, or now having to remember from 6th April to keep going into phone to change card for payment because Chase no longer pays out. Not worth the hassle for £2 a month! So I'll be cancelling my Chase card...and letting them know why. Might explore Santander Edge card.

Same here, I only shopped at Supermarkets with giftcards (purchased with 3-7% discount + 1% Chase).
Petrol.. £50 a month gives me £0.50 back, may as well switch to Amex paying 0.5% and make up the 25 pence elsewhere - plus they often have useful offers - like now I can see £5 off £40 a Tesco.

Chase started great, people moved there savings, started using it as main spending account and then when their rates dropped to 3% people moved savings out, now will stop using it as the spending account.. RIP Chase.

For me it's just the cashback/abroad combination that attracts.   I know I can get 0.5% cashback abroad with Barclaycard rewards. Any better offerings that that for abroad use?

Have a look at tandem. Currently 4.15%

Just looked at Santander but you need a Santander current account and it's fee paying I do have a cahback Amex but haven't used it in ages I don't like that the cashback is yearly and there's a minimum spend so where to now?
