Hmm, a slight reading up shows it to be more complex than first thought. You need to already have your current account with them (Which I do, and their giving me 10% interest on the first 1000 which is nice, as it'll never get past that).
You also need to open up a Legal and General or Credit Suisse stocks and shares investment thingy at the same time with £5000, and then you can put money into the 10% A+L one. Bit too complex for me, but might still be a good deal if you're willing to risk it.

I thought there'd be conditions, 10% interest rate, with the state of the economy people would go for that like flies round poop.

If I put money into the Barclays one and didn't manage to invest the 3,600 by April do I still get 6.25% or does that only apply when you put in the maximum...anyone know ?

with a Cash ISA you'd get that rate of interest on anything you invest. Unless there is small print.

Cash ISA's are interest earning accounts (some fixed some variable), so whatever the level of interest is stated you should receive, subject to terms and conditions, i.e. minimum investment amounts.

i've a whopping £35 in my ISA. i think i'm going to put £200 in and forget about it for a while, hopefully to return to a nice, interest-boosted surprise.

I've already got one Cash ISA and want to open another, so will have to put it in the Mrs name as that will be one that I want to put money away for when we move (towards solicitor fee's etc) so a good place to gain a bit of interest

You can have more than one cash ISA, you just can't invest more than £3,600 in a year. So if you've already got the full allowance in one which accrued before 5 April 2008 then you can invest another £3,600 into the same ISA or you can open another one and put up to £3,600 in that.

You can have more than one ISA (with different providers) but can only invest with one provider during a tax year, unless you're investing into two different types of ISA i.e one of the a cash ISA and one of them a stocks and shares ISA, then it doesn't matter if they are with different providers.
If you haven't paid into an ISA after 5 April 2008 you can open a new one.

You can have a cash ISA with one provider and a stocks and shares with another provider in the same tax year!
Si Pie did you edit that or am I going mad?

You didn't add
"unless you're investing into two different types of ISA i.e one of the a cash ISA and one of them a stocks and shares ISA, then it doesn't matter if they are with different providers."
:shock:
I must be.
