Barely worth the bother at £3 frankly.0 -

Maybe it's time to call it a day on these two providers. I haven't even been to the flix this lifestyle year either...and it's nearly up!
The Birmingham Midshires 1.45% makes things look even more marginal, at least for the remaining time that rate is available. Looks like I'll be keeping some cashback DD's on a 123 account after all."In the future, everyone will be rich for 15 minutes"0 -

No complaints, nice while it lasted. Must have got over £1,000 in total over the 3 accounts, will need to check my spreadsheet. Will use them for switching I guess.
Mothballng them in the meantime.
With interest rates going up, Lloyds' reductions seem perverse.0 -

Think I will keep my Club Lloyd's c/a and 3x BoS Classic Vantage. It's difficult to get 1.5pc on instant/easy access and I've got the required number of DDs working smoothly on the accounts. The monthly pay ins and outs take seconds. Plus there's the cinema tickets on the Club Lloyd's,,,,,and access to the 3pc Club Lloyd's RS on £400 pcm.0

I'll be moving the £15K from my BOS accounts into the Nationwide Loyalty ISA @ 1.4%. May be also the Club Lloyds.0

I was still short of one direct debit for one of my BOS accounts, so I think I will close that sooner rather than later once I have had my April interest paid.
I have a 1.35% flexible ISA so I will put more money into that - possibly most of the money I have in my LLoyds and BOS accounts. I have already reduced the money in my Santander account and changed that to the Lite version.
Already I am using the flexibility of my Isa, by transferring money from there each month to fund my regular savers, and then transferring the matured funds from them back to the Isa. If I keep just the taxable accounts earning 2% or more at their maximum, I should not exceed the personal tax amount (which I have been doing) and therefore will not have to pay extra tax for the tax year 2018/19. That will simplify things.

I'll keep for the time being - don't forget access to the monthly savers. If the BoE base rate goes up again, that will put my mortgage up to 1.5%, so using funds to offset that would be better as it won't then be taxableI consider myself to be a male feminist. Is that allowed?0
