    Has anyone who opened an account after end of Feb got this? Looks like I've missed it by two weeks. But probably so has everyone else who opened Chase burner accounts to use for switches so fair enough really.

    No sign of it for me, I emptied account beginning of March so I could add back in to get £1500 deposit for cashback. So actually on the 8th I had £508, annoying

    I wonder how many other people opened a new saver account to check whether it came up with 5.1%? (even though I knew I had too much in existing savers to qualify.)
    Now hidden the new saver from the app and no intention of using it. I left a message expressing my disappointment with the way they've done this.
    loose does not rhyme with choose but lose does and is the word you meant to write.
  • Just opened the account in less than a minute, didn't work earlier in the day.

    I clicked on a notification - it didn't work. I clicked through from an email and saw an invitation to apply, so I applied (without reading the terms 😉). Account opened and funded despite having much more than £500 in an existing saver. I have not renewed, refreshed or force stopped my (Android) app.
  • I just opened the app, opened a new saver account- still have the old one with nothing in it at 4.1% now have a 5.1% with money in. Nice one! Beats my other accounts and my ISA

    Just had a new email from Chase

    We recently wrote to you letting you know that you're eligible to open a Chase saver account with a boosted rate. Due to a technical issue, we believe you may not have been able to open this account in your app.

    We've fixed the issue, so if you'd still like to open a Chase saver account with a boosted rate, you can do that now. We're sorry for any inconvenience this might have caused you.


    I had more than £500 on the qualifying date - I wasn't able to open it yesterday.

    I've seen it on here yesterday (the announcement email didn't arrive until today), opened the app and the offer was visible.  It took only a couple of clicks to open it and it is showing 5.1%.  I've checked my OH app, no offer for her because she always maintains her Chase balance above £500.
  • Just in time as Santander are reducing their 5.2% rate.  So managed to open an account in the app.
