Chase Boosted Saver

I have been banking with Chase for some time now, have a current account, credit card and a boosted savings account of 4.3%.
The boost on the savings account is due to expire in around 6 weeks time.
They currently still have the offer available for existing customers in the app to open a new boosted saver for a six month term although you cant do this if you already have a boosted account.
So my question is if i close the boosted account with 6 weeks remaining could i get a new 6 month boosted term?
It seems too obvious and easy there must be something i am missing?

    It works for other companies, but I don't know for Chase since they normally pull the offer way before the end of term. Might check for myself though if no-one has tried.

    They didn't block people before from switching from one boosted to another after it gave a longer term though when their 2nd boosted offer overlapped with their 1st. It doesn't mean this would work though now or because the same offer was already used.

    Can't have two boosted accounts would likely have to close the old account first

    I didn't mean keeping the first one open though, I meant closing and opening. Its commonly allowed in other banks/BS

    I can't even see the option to apply the boost on my account.

    I did receive a boost within the last 12 months though, which expired a few months back, and I still have £1 in there. But all it's offering me is a 2.5% saver.

    Chase's Boosted Saver offers are often targeted at certain customers, so it's not unusual for some to find they have an offer within the app and others not.
