Best free variable - is this the best option for me...

Hi there,

Currently got 6k in a fixed Britannia cash ISA at 6.55% until October 2008. I good rate.

I want to open a new ISA next week and put in 3.6k.


However i don't know what to open. Should i get a fixed rate from a different society at around 6% and leave my money in tehre for full year?

I would like though one that is not fixed so in October I could get a renewed high itnerest one from Britannia and move my ISA for this year in to there.

That presumes a few things though. 1. that Brtiannia will offer me a decent rate again and 2 that they accept a transfer in.


Anyone know the best options?

I'll therefore be looking for either a decent fixed rate for 1 year or a decent variable rate for 1 year.

Thanks

    B&B are doing a 1 year fixed at 6.25%. Otherwise Barclays do 6.5% variable, but that includes a 1% bonus for 12 months.
