    You will be losing a fraction over 4p gross interest per day.

    I would sue if I was you.

    Ah, but 4p a day is £1168 over the average person's lifetime.

    Look after the pennies.......... ;)

    Oh, and that is before you consider interest and compounding!
    Do Money Saving sites make you buy more bargains - and spend more money?

    And when you come to spend it you will be dead.

    Mine appeared online today. I applied last Friday 10th.
  • Regular saver has appeared in my nationwide online banking today. Applied online the day it was first advertised, sometime last week.

    I did the same yesterday evening, but the account has not been opened yet and the money has not been taken yet. I did receive an e-mail though stating that my account would be opened within three days and the customer services representative did assure me that interest would be calculated from yesterday. I'm not sure how true that is and was wondering if anyone else has had a similar experience.

    Money was taken from my Flex Account on Wednesday and I was finally able to view the account on my Internet Banking today. With my first deposit there was a reference saying with credit from 10/08/2012 or something similar, so it looks like interest will be calculated from then.

    I am happy to do that for you.

    However there is a £10 administration charge. So on receipt of this I will activate the transaction.:rotfl:

    Sam_Malone, if you do that then after 9 months of paying out 4p per day, zerog will be in profit - a nice little annuity policy for zerog!

    Oh dear... you have got me caught up in this silliness now too!

    Getting back on topic, there is just one thing that has changed for this weekend's update. The Santander eSaver (Issue 5) paying 3.2% (in the feeder account section) has been withdrawn and replaced with issue 6 which pays 3%.

    I will do another update next weekend.

    My Nationwide Reg Saver, opened on 10th, is now showing online, too. Says start date 13th, but in the description it says "Credit 10 August 2012", so I could be on for another 12p before tax, yay!

    I can't figure out where the interest will be paid to. I had asked for it to go into the Reg Saver. We shall see.
