Sigh, probably to be followed by announcements on sibling HSBC and M&S regular savers. End of an era.0

Annoying if so - my M&S comes up for renewal at the end of this month!
I have an appointment to open the new Virgin RS 19 (3%) but not for a fortnight!0 -
My FD RS finished last night so I’ll call them now to renew
If the M&S one drops I’ll dump them
Edit: called FD and renewed. Person I spoke to had no idea the rate was dropping - I wonder if the website was updated with that PDF too early!
She did say that they are making it an app or website only product - you can’t apply on the phone.0 -
That's irritating. My RS expires just before Christmas. Might be looking at switching accounts in the new year.#145 Save £12k in 2016 Challenge: £12,062.62/£12,000.00 Beginning Balance: £5,027.78 CHALLENGE MET
