It looks like Ford Money have relaunched their Flexible Saver account, but now it's 4.5% rather than 4.75%.  The previous Flexible Saver is still showing as 4.75% when I view it in my account though.  Unsure if that will reduce or not to match the new one, bit confusing really since they don't have different issue numbers as far as I can tell!

I've actually  got a question about the account. 
If l open the flexible  saver can l then open their regular saver  and move  cash across from it?

You can move money between those accounts yes, whether in the app or on the desktop site.

They would need to give notice ahead of lowering the rate so I think you'll still be on 4.75%

I guess they could differentiate by account number range. Expect it will reduce for us sooner rather than later. 

I've not heard anything from Tesco or Chetwood either. Currently filling the latter and the former will soon follow unless or until their reductions.

Just received an email from Cahoot.

I'm on the simple saver 2 (5.0%) and have not had a notification as of yet. The 12 months introductory rate ends mid Jan so perhaps they are keeping it at 5% until then which is very welcome.

I spoke to them about this  - they are going to issue notice of a change in the next day or so and the 30 days on the old rate will kick in from there.. so expect to get 4.75% until just before christmas by my reckoning.

What has happened to Metro?

I have a 1 yr fix 5.8% maturing end of the month. The offer is 1.75%. I will move it to EA at 3.64%. I like Metro, withdrawals are instant if only there rates were better. 

I will move some to the Coventry as I have the triple access 4.75% ( after rate reduction!).
