    The simple answer really is to make an appointment.

    Once they know who you are you'll probably get a mince pie and a glass of sherry too! :)

    Made an appointment. Thanks. Not keen when they want to discuss other savings etc.
    Am i here to save money or spend money......hmmmmm

    I've never been asked about any other savings products when I've had an appointment and I've had the regular savers from the beginning.

    Just say no. Clearly the rest of us don't mind fending it off. Mind you we've had lots of practice!

    I wish it was always like this. Closing a matured account, having the proceeds FP'd and opening a new one, all in the same visit!

    In passing I mentioned that this new one was my 30th Virgin RS. On departing I was handed a box of Cadbury's Milk Tray. I've successfully weaned myself off sugar and sweet stuff but I may have one a day :) Be wrong not to.

    The idea of going to the bank and getting a passbook seems ridiculous these days so had put me off this regular saver. I like to do things online. However the posts on here have inspired me to join the virgin saver fun. :j

    Not sure Virgin Money are any worse than any other service re: accessibility.
    The digitally deprived could also argue the same about online only accounts.

    Did you get your passbook on the day?
    For the first time, I'm having to wait up to 4 days to collect mine. Not happy!

    Does it make a difference. Ask them to post it?
