I've stopped using Chase for all but the most trivial spends. 2.00% cashback with the Edge CC is a better option

£3 monthly fee ?

Yes I did this today.  Earlier posts from others confirm this works.  Thanks to SoulSaver who confirmed this yesterday.

Still concerned lol. Did you do it after the post by jak22?

Yes but it's still a better return. The cross over point is £300 spend where both return £3. Anything beyond this favours the CC and it's not hard for me to hit the £750 for the max £15 cashback (less the £3 fee). Then I fall back on my Barclaycard 0% 22 month CC for stoozing. I have no obvious use for Chase until 03/24 when the Edge offer ends or the Barclays 0% period reduces to a few months

I think that response from customer services can be taken with a large pinch of salt. Some eligibility criteria were posted earlier in the thread. You would need to meet those. I would think anyone who moved £50k+ into their original boosted saver will be out of luck. It seems clear enough what checks are being done in app, and they've not released an app update since this morning, whereas the offer required an app update to be shown.

On the other hand, this rate will track downward with the base rate, so there are no guarantees it will be competitive after November anyway.

Can you close the current account it’s opened and just keep the saver 

Don’t think so but why would you?

Just an account that I won’t use, guess no biggy leaving it on 0 balance then 

If you leave Chase, they also don't allow ex-customers to rejoin

Thx for that so always leave the current account open incase I ever need a saving account with them in future

Just closed my old 5.1% account and opened new one with bonus until Jan. Thank for all the info on here. Was dubious the loophole may have been close by this morning but all went fine.
