    I was just shown where the coffee making facilities were.

    I might report him to his boss. That'll teach him. :(

    I did notice another visitor who left that area with a cup of coffee and a plate heaped with biscuits.

    I will maybe make a subtle hint before we begin that I'll need an energy boost in order to concentrate on all the terms and conditions....and since I don't drink coffee then it'll have to be the chocs. Else I'll just start a bit of small talk and mention that I've heard Virgin lounges do great chocs. :)

    I did get them when the advisor returned to the room with my passbook and said these are for you as its your first visit to a branch, wasn't given at the start that was the coffee and croissant.

    Would rather less tea/coffee, croissants and chocolate...

    ...and more 5% regular savers (fixed) for 12 months with £500 monthly pay-in.

    :)

    If you're reading Virgin Money, you know what to do.

    ;)

  • Hi Folks,

    Here is this weekend's update.

    - Principality BS Regular Saver Bond (Issue 17) details updated to show that you can miss as many payments as you wish
    - Nottingham BS Regular Saver (Issue 2) account withdrawn and replaced with issue 3 paying 1.5% on up to £500 per month indefinitely

    I will do another update next weekend.

    As I mentioned in posts 4791 and 4792 the maximum deposit per month is £250. I have this from their printed publicity handed to me on Thursday. Though others have said £500 I don't think my source could be incorrect having been given to me so recently.

    Tiny amendment due to the max balance figure too.

    I suspect the flyer is wrong.
    The website says £500 and the downloadable key product information has been revised to say £500 as well.
    I was told £500 in branch on the 5th Jan.

    Do Money Saving sites make you buy more bargains - and spend more money?

    I also have an older (1 week) flier where all figures are based on £250 pm. The website is now clearly based on £500 pm so I reckon the £500 is the operative amount.

    The new pdf fact sheet has a reference : LIT2616/0117

    My older fact sheet has a reference : LIT2616/1216
  • I opened the tigers yesterday and was told about the issue 3 being £500 per month.

    Its a copy and paste issue as I mentioned in my post before yours - post 4788.

    They had a similar copy and paste issue previously on docs when referring to deduction of tax.

    Max contribution is 500pm

    I stand corrected :o

    A good thing I wasn't relying on it for something life threatening!
