Logged in today and was offered 5.1% until January. 
Just had to open a new savings account. 
Opened new one, transferred money from old one ....no brainer.

I saw this on mine this morning. Did you move the full balance across, or leave the original open with a balance still at 4.1%?

Thank you so much, wouldn't have noticed it but for you. New account opened and funded.

Just a heads up. Mentioned to a friend who is on Android and the offer wasn’t showing. He updated the App and it was then available. So if anyone not seeing it, update your Chase App.

Thanks for the Heads-Up on this.

I just wondered. So, is the old account still there, with a zero balance? If it's closed , did you close it, or did it close automatically?

I've five savings accounts with chase. Four of them are just sort of pots. Christmas, Car, Travel etc. Even though the rate is higher in this boost account, I wouldn't want to move those , as I like the seperate way for budgeting. I could move the main savings one though. Just wondered what, if anything, happens to the original account.

There's an option to hide it, which I've done.

Just had an email in from Chase, stating that from 5th August 24, they will no longer pay 1% interest on current account, it will be 0%.
