Coventry Triple Access at 5.2% is now NLA.

Still available, at a much lower rate.

Triple Access Saver (coventrybuildingsociety.co.uk)

'Old' account opened up to 25.10.23 still at 5.2%

Triple Access Saver (Online) 5.20% AER* (Variable) available 29.09.2023 - 25.10.2023 £1 - £250,000

Yes, that's how it normally works. Withdrawn accounts remain at the original rate.
Not sure why the triple access savers don't have an issue number, like their limited access and easy access accounts.

With the MPC meeting on Thursday I'd say this isn't the time to open anything new.

Yes, I think I'd prefer there was an issue number too. I've just consolidated some savings in the Coventry from some other poorer performing accounts so was fearing the worst when I saw the lower rate today (for new applications, as it turns out).

I do realise it's a variable rate but would be keen on a few months of stability at least...

Why? That kind of assumes a rise in rates which doesn't seem very likely.

Quite possible no more rises for 6 months

Assumes nothing whatsoever, picture will be much clearer in 6 days as to whether changes in account rates are likely or not.

Given the status of the world nothing is certain. ECB kept rates so not expecting any rise at all. If wars escalate and fuel prices and energy are shooting back up we might see inflation jump again, that could lead to a further rise but I think that's it and it will be kept where it is.

nothing visually to me on Android - so probably just bug fixes.

one new thing I saw was that Santander are having a £100,000 draw in December 2023 - entry is automatic if you have £100+ in your current/instant access savings account by the end of November 2023.
