  • Hi,

    I applied last night for the account with 5.2%. This morning they are asking for me to provide ID to open the account. Does that mean I’ll still get the 5.2% or the lower new rate?
    thanks

  • Everyone agrees it is being pulled at midnight tonight except Santander who still say on their website “This issue is available until 17 September 2023 unless sold out sooner.” They could have updated that hours ago but didn’t bother to do so.
    That wording enables Santander to pull it anytime between now and the 17th September, without needing to publish a cut off date
    Santander can pull the account as and when they like, it's up to folks to get on with it, these things very rarely last long.
    I choose the rooms that I live in with care,
    The windows are small and the walls almost bare,
    There's only one bed and there's only one prayer;
    I listen all night for your step on the stair.

    I applied for the account at 10.50pm last night. 


    For those who applied late last night, why did you leave it so late ?
    Personally, for some reason I only become aware of the account last night when a MSE staffer posted a message about Martin's video regarding the account ending that night.... 
  • As Santander were withdrawing this account at 11.59 last night, I applied around 10 pm. I had acknowledgement of my application, but no confirmation until this morning. I see the rate I have been given is now 2.5%. I would advise anyone who applied last night to check the interest rate they have been offered. Needless to say, I won't be investing.

    Mine's showing as 5.08% but I think that's because I elected to have it paid monthly rather than annually.  Then again I was already a customer (credit card only).

    Better advice would be to leave it 24 hours to see if it sorts itself out, otherwise contact Santander to ask them to honour the rate they offered at the time you applied.

    This advice is given on various other threads already running....

    Applied at 9pm last night, received email which included key facts document stating 2.5%. I was just about to pay in money from my Tandem account, I best send it back to them at 5%.

    I used to work for Santander until they made me redundant. Sounds like they are really coping without me. Lol.
    Think I'll wait till the left hand knows what the right hand is doing before i apply.
    You can no longer apply for this.
