    Re castle96 post - Wasnt iss 1 fixed ? Iss 2 is variable.

    The PDF file I downloaded at time of opening account (Issue 1?) shows 'variable', but they may have changed their T&Cs at some stage.......

    Hi Folks,

    I have completed this weekend's update for the first page of this thread.

    - Cambridge BS Regular Saver (issue 4) withdrawn; removed from post 4 (I have actually removed it this time!)



    I have looked at the Progressive BS and moneysupermarket.com websites and they are not showing a drop in the interest rate. Did you get a letter saying it was going to drop and on a particular date?

    I will do another update next weekend.

    Re Progressive, I am in NI and phoned them last week re their Clockwork Regular Saver and they told me rate being reduced from 2.20% to 1-point-something in the autumn. Can't recall exact figure!
  • Both the Clockwork Regular Saver and the Clockwork Regular ISA Saver are being reduced with effect from 1st September 2016.
    The rate has diminished from 2.2% to 1.5%.
    (Letter from Progressive B.S dated 10th August)
    Will have to find another home for my regular savings.

    Just received an e-mail from Newcastle Building Society to advise that from 7th September all issues of their 'Big Home Saver' account are down to 1.25% :-(

    Shouldn't they rename it 'Small Terraced House Saver'?

    Thanks to the carnage following the 0.25% interest rate reduction there may be people looking at RS rates below 2%.

    As advised by Newbury BS letter dated 19-08-2016.
    Just about all savings rates are reduced.

    The RS Save2spend reduced to 1.25% from 1.50% effective 19-10-2016
