Barclays regular saver 12.5% and 10%

lil_miss_2

My sister has a barclays currents account and a 10% barclays regular saver, she phoned up for telephone banking and they suggested she could also open a 12.5% regular saver. She questioned this saying that she already has a 10% saver and has read on the internet that you cannot have both. They said that this was not a problem and she opened the second regular saver over the phone.

Does anyone know else have both or know if you can have both?

Thanks

the T&Cs clearly state you cant have both so there is every chance the high interest will be disallowed

Why cant banks just make the effort and give their call centre staff adequate training?

agreed!

It would be pretty cool if you could open both.....99.99% sure you cant.

lil miss i would get your sister to compalin otherwise she will lose interest on both and end up with 3.5% on both!!
