Monmouthshire BS Flex saving saving withdrawal, How much in one go ?

Monmouthshire BS Flex saving saving withdrawal, How much in one go ?

I open my Monmouthshire BS Flex saving in January 16, and put £12,000 (e.g. March 31, 2012). As far as I am aware I am still obliged to put another £12,000 between March 31, 2012 until anniversary which is January 16, 2013. to get the bonus of 2%, to make it 4% in total.

If I do the following,
- I put £12,000 again this month to comply with the requirement
- I withdraw, £23.900 the following day and maintain £100 until January 16, 2013. I wil need to do this as I will actually need the money but at the same time I do not want to loose the interest that have been accumulated. Do you think it could work ?
- Is there any max limit for daily withdrawal online ?

Thank for your time.

    No you don't have to put £12,000 in to get the bonus.

    There's no obligation to put £12K in at all, nevermind £24K.

    Just withdraw your money and leave £1 in until your bonus period expires and then close the account.

    The only obligation is that if you close the account before your bonus period expires, you lose the 2% bonus (so only get 2% instead of 4% on the whole balance).
