    The really stupid thing is,they could just activate 20,000 accounts each morning and just let the emails follow as and when they can send them out. The 2 actions do not have to go hand in hand as long as the activation happens first

    A good idea . They could even maintain the fiction of randomness.

    I notice from the Telegraph article that they know the majority of term account holders are opting to take the money and run so they are keeping a close eye on that aspect.

    If they are short of funds as some suspect that is not good news for the rest of the term account holders who will be put at the back of the queue.

    But what about those of us holding a combination of accounts! I need my ISA out asap! If they do leave those of us also holding fixed term accounts till last then I will not be a happy bunny :mad:

    Kittie on another thread has already received payment for an easy access account but has opted to wait for her bond to mature, but that is January 2009.

    I don't think people with other accounts plus one fixed term would be disadvantaged but there would be a temptation to put people with nothing but a fixed bond last.

    On the other hand, one could argue that the FSCS need to know asap how many paper applications there will be as well as how many ISA certificates will be needed so that they have enough pairs of hands to meet the 6 and 2 week deadlines.

    Did someone mention the word random ?
  • ...and logged on and made the claim. I hope that they start coming a bit quicker now. Assuming it goes into the linked account OK, that's the end of my Icelandic love affair!....:beer:
  • My sister has just received her 2nd email and she has a long term account which is due up in June. She is cashing it in.

    I am still waiting for my second email.

    2nd e-mail received today, 13:56
    fixed term for over another year, so I left the claim for maturity date, given so many replacement accounts offering good rates have fallen now.
    Good luck, everyone; being a fixed rater I was surprised to get the second e-mail so fast and hope you'll all be there soon

    Surely more than 10 people have received their 2nd email today :confused:

    I've seen quite a few people across various threads say they've had theirs so if you have then please vote so we can get an idea of how many are now going out each day :D
