    Hmmmm :doh::think::think:
    Unbelievable? ;)
  • I only started doing the Regular Savers a couple of years ago, and made the schoolboy mistake of applying for a bunch of them all at the same time, so they all matured in the same month. This resulted in a huge blob of money suddenly needing a high-interest home when they all matured.

    Since then I've been opening one new account each month (or attempting to) to avoid this problem.
  • It's more than about being productive. Its fun. Its like having a hobby. Some people go fishing, or have a model railway. Some people like to see how much interest they can earn.
    Its like a game - making sure you adhere to all the terms and conditions of each product is like adhering to the rules of a board game such as Monopoly.

    I couldn't agree more! Rather like Stoozing (which I also dabble in) the returns probably don't really justify the time spent managing the accounts, but it's fun :rotfl:
  • Not sure if this is the right thread to post this question exactly but was struggling to find another of relevance.

    Basically my question is: I have a Lifetime ISA with Skipton of which I've maxed out my contributions for the year. I've also got a regular Cash ISA with Nationwide, but this has been dormant for a while. I've also just opened up a trading account with Interactive Investor which acts as a Stocks and Shares ISA.

    Does the Lifetime ISA count as a Cash ISA? And if so, how many more ISA's can I open, if that is what I wanted to do?
  • ...four, according to pension craft .com

    Very achievable as has been stated on this thread multiple times.

    Add all the possible Virgin and Notts BS RS and you're well into double figures with just two institutions.

    Grow up with all the emojis and state what you actually want to say.

    I think you need to grow up yourself, with the modern era of emojis ;)

    They're quite specific as to what they mean :p:p

    But to spell it out for you, I was just curious as to what the 45 active were.

    Shame they don't seem to have one for the emoji police !

    My pack arrived yesterday. So forms duly signed and popped straight back in the post-box...so lets see how long it takes for the account to be fully "opened" - although the paperwork did show A/C and Sort code on it.

    Still no further post from M&S !!!
    How's it going, AKA, Nutwatch? - 12 month spends to date = 2.60% of current retirement "pot" (as at end May 2025)
