C&G minicash ISA fixed 5% for one year

spotted this new issue for new customers

5% guaranteed for one year (July 2005) then reverts to there standard cash ISA rate (currently 4.3%)

30 day notice period, 90 day penalty if no notice, use for one year and then transfer to a new one later on

min investment £1000

great forums, I have been looking for something like this for ages :)

    This doesn't look that good to be honest with you.
    I'm expecting interest rates to go up again either this month or next month, possibly by as much 0.5%, with probably another 2 or 3 further rises over the next 12 months. So I think you're easily going to get instant access ISAs paying 5% or more in the next 2 or 3 months.

    yeah I think I agree now, I was looking over the BOE site and some of the news articles about are looking at least a .025% increase.

    ahve just fixed my mortgage at 4.99% for a further 2 years to lessen the impact

    Noting comments about possible further bank rate increases. What about "A bird in the hand".

    Would it not be possible after taking out the C&G Isa to immediateley put it on 3 months notice and then move it if there is something better on offer?
