Trade 212 to Money Box (3 months) then back to Trade 212?

Hello, currently have 20 years of savings in a cash isa with Trade earnng 4.5%. 
I want to consider moving this to money box at the bonus rate of 5.71% for 3 months, then move it again back to Trade 212.
Trade 212 pays daily interest, where as I think MoneyBox will only pay annual interest.
I don't want to miss out on the 1.21% increase for 3 months because this is significant e.g. worth doing.
Anyone done this and for example can you move back to Trade 212 once you have left?

    Check whether T212 will allow you to open another cash ISA if you had one with them before.

    There is a growing number of providers who for some reason don’t ever want you back if you had the audacity 😂 to transfer out…….  Moneybox is one of them. I haven’t checked out what the T212 policy is. May be you can report back when you know?

    A partial transfer to keep a foot in the door may be an option, providing both providers support that.
  • Also check moneybox accept transfers that aren't electronic as 212t don't allow this
