I've never used any of the EAS accounts that seem to be created each time a RS matures and I still have half a dozen still lying dormant when I log in. The 18 was a store version (the last) and I'm not sure a related EAS account for maturing store RSs would show up online. Sorry I can't be of greater help.

Err, not quite!  Just to reassure anyone who might be worried, Issue 19 of the store-based regular saver is still active and won't mature until 1st November 2020.

You're right of course. I'm getting number blindness now the online numbers have caught up with the stores.

Not quite no E19 Regular Saver yet!

When I'm online I've got a string of Easy Access e-Saver Reward accounts that were the destination of maturing online RSs over the years. All are showing as 'read only'. The guff received today about Store 19 maturing shortly includes the T&Cs for Easy Access Saver Reward Issue 27. The interest rate at 0.75% variable is around the sort of rate for current account money, and could be interesting. So when do these accounts become 'read only' if anyone has kept one of these accounts going?

Just in case the new online issue 19 announced today creates correspondence, perhaps it should be here to avoid complaints. 1% fixed, matures 20.11.21.

Had my letter today outlining my options for when issue 19 matures on 2/11. I can’t see anything in the t&c’s about sending in the passbook with my maturity instructions, am I correct?

I've sent mine in. It can't do any harm and it avoids a delay if someone at Virgin decides the passbook is required.
It comes back eventually updated.

May save yourself time & send the book and maturity instruction form.

I too have a string of Easy Saver accounts visible.  My recollection is that they are all closed accounts - when I withdrew the funds from the account (following the Easy Saver's creation from a matured regular saver), I clicked on the "Close account" button to pick-up the day or so of interest on the funds.

Last one of these to close, sad times. I haven't received my letter yet though.
