The 5.2% Santander account is going off sale at midnight 

Source?   

Also being reported in the Telegraph
Santander pulls top 5.2pc savings deal after just one week (telegraph.co.uk)

But Santander said it will now pull the account at midnight on Tuesday, just eight days after launch, following “significant demand on the limited edition product”.

From Wednesday it will offer easy-access savers a rate of 2.5pc instead – less than half the annual interest previously on offer. 

I tried to set up an account today, but you have to post proof of identity, so that won't get to them until tomorrow or Thursday, so I guess I have missed out.

Setting up an account online but not accepting digital copies of ID seems a bit ridiculous.

You can also take your ID to a Santander branch, where they will copy your ID. Just remember to note your application number.

I'm not sure what happened to issues 4-23! Why would anyone open an account at 2.5%?

The 5.2% was a Limited Edition #3

the new 2.5% is just a normal Easy Access saver #24

Same reason why they open any account less than market leading😊

 I applied for this Easy Access account  yesterday before midnight and received an OLA confirmation with no. 169…….at 21..00 hrs last night.
This morning I received notification that a normal easy access saver account had been opened at 2.50%!
What to do now?
Can someone guide me please?
Thank you.

Not a lot you can do other than to wait for the additional email with the correct info on it as promised to a forum member by Santander this morning

Ugh made the mistake of quickly opening a Santander account without thinking. Did it in my name but in hindsight we need it in my partner's name as they're not a higher rate tax payer. Will probably just leave it in Chip for now.

@soulsaver
Dudley BS Easy Access Saver Online Issue 2 @ 4.75% (>£250) with annual interest paid on 31st March

it wouldn't currently get into your top 10, but might be worth making a note of.
