CHASE Boosted Savings Rate

marycanary

I've received an email from Chase offering 4.8% for 6 months

Earn 4.80% AER (4.70% gross) variable for 6 months

Hi Mary, You can now get a boost for your savings with an extra 1.80% AER interest for 6 months. It's true – you can open a Chase saver account with a boosted rate¹ and get 4.80% AER variable on your money, which is 4.70% gross, for 6 months.

Had the same email. Looks like it’s 6 months from opening, so will wait until I am paid and putting money aside for June to open one.

No email but was an offer in the app

Yes I found the offer in the app as well, opened and funded.

I shifted the funds from my other two Chase savers over and set up scheduled payments to move cash back to meet expected bills.  Better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick as they say ...

Is there a deadline to open it by?

From the T&Cs ...

How to get the offer?

The offer is only available to certain Chase customers; who will be contacted if they are eligible.

If you have been contacted as being eligible, you can get this offer by opening a Chase saver with boosted rate account through our app while the offer is still available to you.  The offer may be withdrawn at any time.

I'd grab it quick after my experience today!

Partner had the offer so got it. I had no such offer, so live chatted with Chase to find out why, as our situations are the same; both have same number of accounts with them for the same amount of time, both had boosted accounts before that have since expired. Only difference between us both is I have a fair bit saved with them, and partner doesn't. So I assumed that to be the reason, so I asked them.

At first they tried to say it was because I had a boosted account previously (now expired), until I informed them my partner also has (also expired).  They then backtracked and were not very forthcoming about their eligibility criteria, and were unable to provide any reason why I had not received the offer, simply apologising and stating hopefully I'll be eligible in the future.  

So seemingly, there is no consistency as to who is eligible for this one

Found out about it from this forum 5 minutes ago, checked the app found the invitation and immediately set it up. 

Had been looking for a new home for RCI 14 day notice account monies ( rate reducing). Was going to move across to Kent Reliance 4.5% but Chase has successfully lured me back (for the time being).

Thanks forumites for the heads up.

Interesting. Wonder if they are only offering to customers who emptied or left very little in their accounts? I am one of the latter and got the boost, and moved money back in.
