My new Chip easy access account now says 4.84% AER. This includes a 0.77% boost which starts today and lasts for a year. A triple access account which tracks the BoE base rate.

Where can I find the link to open this, please?  I have their Instant Access with £1 in, but the only 4.84% account (0.77% boost) that there's a link to (for me) is for their 4.84% ISA.

What's the best rate EA(ish) account that you can still pay in to, even if it's NLA?

Immediate thoughts

Santander Edge     7.00 (£4k max x 2) if you extended NLA.
Santander Edge     6.00 (£4k max x 2) not in addition to above... unless you know better?)
Cahoot Simple svr Iss1/2  5.12 NLA
Barclays RDS        5.12 (£5k max) needs Blue Rewards at additional cost £3 or £5 (?) pm.
Cynergy iss 69       5.00 (inc bonus until 11 March 2025 - depends on opening date?) Maybe earlier issues still payable. NLA
Cov BS online triple   4.95

Skipton Member Saver (5.25% up to £3k) - Skipton Base Rate Tracker (Base rate minus 0.19) ??

just opened a cahoot savings account.
i seem to remember a bit of chat about existing login/issues regarding getting online

iv'e never had an account with them but wondered what issue i may run in to? could i have had a product with another company that may now be cahoot?  would my Santander login in some way be a problem/usable?

just want to be on the ball and not wait a week to then find something could have been done now.
thank you.

all gone smoothly opening the Sunny Day Saver.
thought i may as well open the Simple Saver. can't be opened directly through account while logged in?

it also states they can't match all my details so i need to print off and fill in a form and photocopy ID and POST it to them. how can the details not match?
i can't be bothered with all that, anyone else get this? is there any chance they may just put the new account with my existing login without all the faff?

so....yesterday i received 2 letters with login details, bare in mind i did NOT send the ID they requested. just used them to login and my new Simple Saver is there.

will they merge the 2 accounts in to one login? 

Yes, one login for all your Cahoot accounts.

will it automatically happen and do you have any idea of timescale? i have a login for Sunny and a separate one for Simple. thank you.

I’ve never had two logins for cahoot, but I assume when you login for one of them all your accounts should show on the same page?  Is this not the case?

I opened it through the app. See: https://www.getchip.uk/savings-accounts/easy-access-saver for some details. Not clear to me when the 12 months bonus/boost starts.

I could find it on the website, but there's no mention of the Easy Access Saver in the app for me.  I messaged them earlier, but the reply's not likely to be today.

Update the app? long shot since I've no idea whether this could possibly be an issue.

Thank you, I had tried doing that, I deleted the app and then reinstalled it but, unfortunately, it didn’t make any difference.

What you already do is immensely useful and a great service to us all. I wouldn’t add an extra layer of complexity and risk making it a chore.
