Updated on 10 March 2015 | 0 Comments

Range of offers including cashback, gift cards and no fees, but do your sums before buying.

We are now into ISA season, a time when providers try to tempt us into using what remains of our ISA allowance before the tax year comes to an end in April. Traditionally, millions of ISAs are opened in this period.

While Cash ISAs remain less than enticing, there are a number of incentives, from fee-free deals to cashback, on offer. Let's take a look at some of the top offers available at the moment.

The latest special offers for ISAs

Provider/Fund

Always look beyond the headline offers

You should not choose an ISA provider based exclusively its current special offers, no matter how interesting and alluring they may first appear. Instead, look to the bigger picture by finding ISA providers with low-cost, flexible accounts, backed by a decent website and superior customer service.

In this respect, low-charging investment trusts often emerge among the front-runners for the cheapest ISA wrappers.
