Is there a limit to how many Sunny Day Savers you can have?

I opened a simple Saver last week and have been funding that.

It looks like there may be some inconsistencies with Cahoot's upgrades?

FWIW, my two Simple Saver upgrades both show the correct rate (4.89% monthly), but each has the original accounts' opening dates, so one expires in a couple of months, the other in May next year.

Could be that the 5% 12 month term for the upgraded accounts just starts from the day of upgrade? As one of my upgraded accounts is set to monthly interest I’ll at least be able to check early on that I am actually getting paid the true 4.89% (5%) rate. 

As I've kept all my Simple & Sunnyday accounts, I've upgraded all 5 of the old accounts! They are now all (7) showing as Sunnyday savers @ 5% (4.89%) monthly. I will be funding them all to the max soon as a few RS maturing.  

Are your ex-simples showing 5%? Mine is still sitting there with 0%

 I have 14, but I don’t think anyone knows if there’s a limit.

My ex-simple is showing 5%.

Is it possible to change from monthly to annual interest?

no - once the choice is made upon opening, then it's set in stone... I think even when upgrading you don't get offered the choice - it stays the same.

I suspect your only option would be to close then open another account - those closures are manually processed by secure message, so there is a risk that the SDS issue could get pulled before you could open it again.

In the last month I have opened a number of different EA accounts, which of the following can open a second account now?

1. Cahoot Sunny Day Savers

2, Cahoot Simple

3. Chase Savers

4. Principality Triple - have to wait till new ISSUE?

You can open multiple Chase Savers although only one can be Boosted at any one time, I think. Other than wanting different savings 'pots' though, there's no need to open multiple Chase Savers as that account doesn't have a maximum balance and you can save up to £3 million across all your accounts with Chase.

If I open a 1 or 2 year fix with Atom am I able to transfer the entire balance from my existing Atom EA account? Or do I have to withdraw to my nominated account and then fund directly from that?

I was going to keep my EA account until the balance drops on 20th August but for the sake of 0.15% interest for 10 days I might be better off securing the fixed rate now and transferring the lot in one go rather than funding the FR over a few days.

Thanks
