    So how many of these accounts can you have to get qualifying DDs ? I have 2 x Iss 27 and 29. That makes 4 qualifying DDs, yes.
    Is there any point in opening more Iss 29, or must I wait for Iss 30 (if there is one coming).
    thanks
  • I've got 4 x Issue 26, one 25, one 27, one 28 and one 29
    I consider myself to be a male feminist. Is that allowed?

    still a bit confused...
    My iss 27 x 2 have the same nominated a/c
    My iss 29 x 2 have the same nominated a/c

    If I open a new iss 29, can I elect a new nominated a/c ? I need 2 more DDs so.....
    open 2 new iss 29s and have 2 different nom a/c's. Yes ? Is that OK

    Each Online Saver a/c can have a different linked nominated a/c.

    In the Online Saver Terms and Conditions it states "12) You may not open more than one Account in your sole name and one Account jointly in your name and that of someone else".

    This is generally being interpreted as 1 sole + 1 joint saver a/c per issue but it doesn't actually say that.

    However, as you + I + others have found, it's possible to open & operate multiple saver a/cs of the same issue. There haven't been any reports on here of a/cs being closed for being in breach of the t's & c's.

    So to answer your original question - you shoudn't be able to open more issue 29 a/cs according to the t's & c's but it may let you. If you succeed then you can specify different linked a/cs for the new ones.

    Is it best to be logged in when you apply for additional accounts, or not. If not, do they link your accounts easily?
    How's it going, AKA, Nutwatch? - 12 month spends to date = 2.60% of current retirement "pot" (as at end May 2025)

    Well the initial £5 deposit is now showing...so that did take the full 5 working days from the date of request.

    other people have told me that they applied easily when online, but when i opened my second account the other week it told me that I needed to proceed to log out to do so.. which I did, despite it not feeling right, and the account opened and linked to the other with the same login no problem. the only thing is that 'Issue 29' actually appears as though it is a Second Issue 28.:undecided
