I contacted Haymarket branch today and was told no appointments until Monday.0

How very annoying is this, I only was in the branch yesterday to cash in Branch Issue 5.... Another visit and phone call needed,
Needs most for continuity and the extra interest of course.

No easily accessible branch close to me as I live in deepest Cornwall, so I hope they do issue an online R.S. Exeter is my closest.
I’m flying on holiday from Bristol on Sunday though so perhaps an appointment there, plus one for my partner, to set one up next weekend is a solution. I already have a First Direct and a Nationwide RS, she does not have any.
When you say @EachPenny fully funded do you mean that with Virgin Money RS you pay pay in the full annual deposit at the beginning? Or just that you paid the maximum for Month 1?

Isn't it easier/better for your partner to get a Nationwide and/or FD regular saver?0 -

This time I was able to transfer in £250 from my maturing RS 5, so unusually left the store with a fully funded new account."In the future, everyone will be rich for 15 minutes"0 -
...... - all today's and tomorrow's appointments were booked much to the chagrin of a counter customer who was trying her damndest to sort it without returning next week.
As to the withdrawal of Issue 12 of the online Virgin Money Regular E-Saver, that's probably because Virgin Money don't want complaints from unhappy customers who open the account at 2.25% and discover that the Store version is paying more interest. My *guess* is that Issue 13 will appear in a week or two at 3%. VM have been issueing new versions every two months - there'd be a substantial hole in their funds intake for the next 12 months if nothing appears. If they have no appetite for further funds, why increase the interest rate on the Store version?0 -
Sorry. I was posting b0ll0x.0

Not all Virgin Money stores handle cash,
It does seem an extremely odd concept!0 -

Would someone mind letting me know what documentation you need to open a VM regular saver account in store? I've only ever opened them online.
I've got bank statements from my current account and a passport which is due to expire in a couple of weeks (waiting for post-brexit to renew).Almost everything will work again if you unplug it for a few minutes, including you. Anne Lamott
It's amazing how those with a can-do attitude and willingness to 'pitch in and work' get all the luck, isn't it?
Please consider buying some pet food and giving it to your local food bank collection or animal charity. Animals aren't to blame for the cost of living crisis.0
