Spotted this on Skipton's BOE Base Rate Change page under FAQ's

Another society that can't be bothered to proof read what they have themselves put...
Are they really going to increase the rates on the base rate trackers?

I spotted that, but didn't want to cloud the point about 10th March in the same posting 

You never know, increasing may be part of their cunning plan!

Does the interest rate on a Chip Instant Access Rate update from 3.5% straight away? Mine still says 3.5% despite saying successful promo code

Might be useful for some. 4.5% no restrictions.
Edit:
£1,000 min

This must be a re-emergence of Beehive
 It would be good to have this in the "library", it could become useful at some point, but £1,000 minimum balance is a a downside.  This requirement made me close all my Oxbury's accounts, Mansfield 90-days tracker and some others in the past.  I kept £5k in Ulster's Royalty for a long time, but that was justified by the account paying the top of the table rate.

for the record, you can have less than £1k in Oxbury, Shawbrook etc - it's just that you only get a nominal interest rate... and you can have a zero balance with Ulster if you wanted to.

wrt to the Notts BS account, reading the KPI, it was launched before the recent base rate change (on 16th January according to archive.org), so any possible rate changes by NBS are not showing in this 4.50% rate and may still get reduced soon.

You can have less than £1k in Oxbury, but "If your balance falls below £1,000 after account opening you will not receive interest on the balance."  I have a zero balance with Ulster, there's no point having less than £5k in Loyalty Saver because the higher interest is paid only if you have £5k+.

Has anyone refreshed Santander Edge Saver 6%? Is there any news that they are reducing rates?
