    I've just logged on to try and amend my Santander standing order to, "until further notice" etc. but it's not giving me that option, just the option of changing the number of months. Should I just put 99 in the months box??
    Cancel the existing SO and set up a new one. Takes 30 seconds.

    Hmm, I didn't think of making a new SO, I just upped it to 15years.


    I suppose a potential downside of the shift in SANTANDER is that you need to keep an eye out on what the rate will be in the new reg saver. They could drop it through the floor and still reap in all these donations set up "until further notice".
    (Although I could be wrong, I often am.)

    Having the opportunity to change the name of this account, I changed it to Very Much Second Best, which gave me deep satisfaction :)
    If you don't want to have all those E-Saver Rewards clogging up your online banking you can send them a secure message asking them to remove them

    That's useful to know. I can still see some old, closed, empty, Northern Rock accounts in there.

    I think this is an excellent change by Santander.

    Agreed. I hope more follow suit - would cut down the admin.

    Just wait for the last payment to go into the account, and then just delete and reset up.

    I've changed it to 36 months, for now. Here's hoping its not going to be a sneaky way of reducing the rate, in the hope that no one will notice.
    How's it going, AKA, Nutwatch? - 12 month spends to date = 2.60% of current retirement "pot" (as at end May 2025)
