My spreadsheet has a maturity of 12/1/25 on mine
I wonder if they actually mean the RS which matures at the end of the month.
Both my EA and RS have £3000 in them but with rates of 5.5% and 7.5%0 -

Sounds like the reference may be to the Members RS account, as I've been thinking of doing exactly that this week and lose the extra 2% or so on £3k for 2 weeks, about £2.50, just to be certain of being able to open a new one at 7%0

Hopefully Skipton are a good sport and will keep the product for at least a day after maturity to "honour" the savvy...1

You can also ``refresh" the account before the end of the term if you wanted to. I closed mine just before the end of the last tax year and reopened it shortly after the start of the new one for tax purposes. My new account still shows 5.5%.
One other thing to note with Skipton (plus some others) is that the account term begins from the day you make your initial deposit rather than the day you actually apply for the account (I seem to recall you get 30 days to make your initial deposit), so if ``refreshing" the account for tax purposes you could close the account on, say 5th April 2025, apply for a new account the same day to secure the account (assuming it's still available) and then push the maturity date into the 2026-7 tax year by waiting a couple of days before funding it.3
