Get a Santander overdraft set up, activate a text alert for balances of zero or below. Wait for texts.

A good plan, but in my experience the texts don't always arrive on the day of the transaction.

Never had that issue - although an email alert often arrives before the text, so make sure you activate both.

Presumably for those of us with the previous incarnation it won't just roll over into this new 2.5% eSaver as previously.!

My Issue 6 has morphed into an Issue 7.

In fact I've gone back through the eDocuments as I received notification of the account maturing two weeks previously and it says on there that this would morph into an Issue 7 on the 15th. Which it has done.

So it looks like for Santander you get the issue that was available at the time of your notification of maturity even if that issue is then pulled in the meantime for new customers.

Okay its going to be an extra £5 or so at the end of the year but... Bonus

Over62

Yes! My regular saver has also morphed into issue 7 today. As you say, Neil Jones, not a great amount of money involved but it makes me so happy. Must get out more ...

I'm keeping £50 with them just incase any further product is members only.

I have not researched their past product.
But why £50 ? Is is based on their past product to be included as a member ??

I stand to be corrected partly/wholly, from memory when Leeds BS went through a phase of launching members only savings products which were not regular savers requirement was for 100.00 + Balance which might have had a requirement to have been held on 31 December of the preceding year, the member only saving product(s) that I refer to were promoted/launched when Leeds BS sent out a booklet approx April leading up to its annual vote of directors etc. They did this for a good few years.

That is also what I remember. So in this case better to leave £100 balance, not £50. which mean losing opportunity to get interest of about £1.5 a year.

It does not have to be like that -

Thnaks. That is a good idea to put it in 1-2 year with minimun balance of £100.
