They are so thick (!)

When you hit "Apply for an Issue 8" account the page you're taken to is labelled "Issue 6 downloads".

You're then presented with the invitation to apply for an "Issue 7".

Even the application form is headed "Issue 7"!

Classic Abbey.
I refuse to have anything more to do with them.
Maybe I'm cutting off my nose to spite my face but my blood pressure won't stand anymore Abbey c0ck-ups!

Matures After More Than 12 Months

There are currently no accounts that fit in this category.

Sorry if I'm misunderstanding the title but in fact the Coventry have a 3 year Regular savings account - I know, I have one!:rotfl:

From the Intro by SS2

I am only including accounts where the interest rate is at least as good as the third best standard savings account from Martin's Savings Accounts page.

Martin's 3rd highest is AA 4.53%

Coventry Monthly Saver is 3.35%

That's why. It's pretty pitiful.

Hi folks,

Here is this weekend's update:

- Scarborough BS City Saver withdrawn
- Principality BS Regular Saver Bond Issue 5 (paying 7% fixed rate) replaced with Issue 6 (paying 6% rate)
- Halifax Regular Saver paying 5% fixed rate for new applicants (was 6%) - this is for the UK version (the offshore version is still paying 6%)
- Bank of Ireland High Interest Regular Saver account paying 4% AER fixed rate for new applicants (was 6% AER)
- Chelsea BS Monthly Extra interest rate dropping from 6% variable for first year to 5% variable from Monday 22nd December according to emoneyfacts
- Tesco Internet Saver interest rate dropping from 6% variable to 5.1% but not until 8th January

As for the posts above on Abbey, I have stopped banking with them too after numerous problems.

Okay, I shall post a further update at some point over the very long holiday weekend next week. Happy holidays!

Hi

As of today Abbey have not contacted me to say they have managed to open my Fixed Rate Regular Saver Account issue 8 (see thread 420).

I see Principality have issue 6 Regular Saver now, does anybody know if you can have issue 5 and 6 running at the same time? I did email them in the week but have not had a reply as yet.

Hi Thanks Speculator and Mary

Looks like Principality will get my money, rather than Abbey.

Principality are certainly far less hassle than Abbey. Although I have a credit card, new current account and 1 savings product with Abbey, they are particulary difficult to get hold of the correct department whenever something is not straightforward.
