    Will be interesting to see whether they do the same with the online version
    They have withdrawn the Regular e-saver.

    I have already opened the regular esaver 12 online last month have two payments in it. Maybe they will have a regular esaver 13 later in month. Was there already an regular esaver 12 instore?

    The last online version was number 12 and the last store version, prior to this new one, was number 11. Not quite sure what you're asking?

    This is the first of the 25, now 26, regular savers that has opened in an August.

    Am I correct in thinking that there was no regular esaver 12 instore that the last instore was esaver 11 until today's esaver 12 at 3%. As the rate for the online regular savers are fixed they are not going to change them. Therefore, the online esaver 12 will remain the same and hopefully around the 20th of the month there will be an online esaver 13 with the 3% rate

    esaver and instore ain't the way it works :)

    Today's branch offering brings them both up to issue 12.

    Here's hoping they carry on with the alternate months and, of course, the 3% though they won't get any argument from me if they choose to raise it.

    In the DM today Virgin Money are quoted as saying
    We also recognise the importance of supporting customers to build the savings habit and we are increasing the rate on our attractive Regular Saver product by the full 25bps.

    Probably not :)


    I opened and fully funded mine at lunchtime, they said I was the fifth one of the day (in that branch).


    I didn't have an appointment, and only had to wait as long as it took them to finish putting up the posters advertising the 3% RS which they were in the middle of doing when I walked in. ;) As I walked out there was a crowd (well 3 people) standing outside studying the posters. :D

    SS is going to be pulling his hair out trying to work out which institutions posters are talking about when he returns from his hols.

    I know we're all dead excited about the new issues but is there any chance at all that forumites can either place a title within their posts or start a new thread dedicated to that issue?

    That way we're not only helping ourselves but helping him too.
