Zopa savings pots

I've just been offered the increased savings rate of 4.75% on my Access pot with Zopa. I see that if I open a new pot, this will also be 4.75%.  I've currently got some 7 day Boosted pots only paying 3.33%. If I give the 7 days notice, will these then become Access pots at 4.75% does anyone know?  I guess I could just open some new pots and transfer the balances over, but it would be less of a faff to leave them as they are at the moment.

TIA

    The following implies that a Boosted pot will become an Access pot once you've given notice and that notice period has come to an end. If you've already launched the new boosted rate offer (and paid £500 into your Biscuit (current) account in the meantime), then those Access pots should default to 4.75%, AFAIK.

    From : https://www.zopa.com/help/article/what-is-boost

    When you need to access the money in a Boosted pot, simply:

    1. Head to your Boosted pot and click Give notice.

    2. Your pot will tell you when your savings will be available to access.

    3. Once the notice period ends, your Boosted pot will become an Access pot, and you’ll be able to withdraw your savings to your nominated bank account or Boost again.

    To start the boost offer, you need to look for the jammy dodger (biscuit) icon on the home page and launch it from there - it doesn't happen automatically, even after adding the £500 to the Biscuit account. I needed to update my Zopa app for the biscuit icon to appear.
