Is the delay because you did not have an existing savings account into which the automatic transfer could be made?

This seems to be a common factor for two of us. Can't offer a solution to adindas this time around although it would be useful to hear from others to see if this is a common denominator.

I have the Advance a/c - Pref Reg Saver matured, the cash was automatically transferred overnight to existing instant access saver and visible the following day - at that point I applied for new Pref Reg Saver which was visible within a day or so.

I just checked my HSBC account. Indeed I do not have instant saver at the moment. I used to have Flex Sav Pref but I might have canceled it as it is currently disappeared from my account list on HSBC.

So this might be explaining why it is still showing Pref Reg Sav which preventing me opening the new one.

I will try to have at least one flex saver for future use.

It'd be interesting to hear how many accounts users have - especially the prolific offenders who post regularly

I opened my 29th one yesterday :beer:

Welcome to the list of prolific offenders then. BTW you've just been beaten - by two

Any chance this thread could be used just for discussing new and currently available accounts, and keep the chit chat to other threads?

It's annoying getting several notifications each day to find there's no actual changes or discussion about the accounts happening.

An ongoing problem, been discussed before. You could check in just the once a day, or twice?

Sorry I don't monitor this thread much, and it's a bit unwieldy to search through, so sorry if this has already been discussed, but has the Virgin Regular E-Saver gone, or am I just missing it? I can only find the branch-based regular saver now.

Currently, only the branch version of Virgin's regular saver exists.

When I opened my first branch RS recently, the branch manager said he didn't think it would be the last of the e-RS and fully expected the e-RS to be back on the market soon.
