    How often do new Virgin regular savers come available?
    The online version has been every couple of months, with Issue 6 (if they continue) due mid-July. This can be verified on their website, under the 'find my interest rate' section for accounts no longer issued.

    I believe the store version lags by one issue?

    They threw a Man Utd branded version into the mix a few months ago, but that hasn't been repeated.

    A bit like London buses, you wait a while and then a whole load turn up.

    If they were going to replace the Matchday ones then they are overdue, but it is by no means certain they will be seen again.

    The standard store and online ones appear to be about every two months or so - the last ones were 9th May so in theory it could be early July. But on the other hand without having the Matchday version and with competition from Ford, we might not have to wait so long this time.

    I asked when I opened my Issue 5, it seems like they will not be continuing with the Matchday accounts, as they have pulled the relationship with Man U, that said they don't seem to know when the next store based is due, so think they only find out a few hours before launch.

    I had a similar conversation when I opened mine, although they didn't say anything about the MU relationship ending, it was more to do with prioritising other products (ISA's?) for promotion.

    But the same thing applies of course, the staff in store won't necessarily know the detail until it is about to happen.

    I've just tried to open a Santander 5% Regular Savings (Issue 5) account, but it has prevented me from doing so because I've already got an Issue 2 account. I cannot find where it says in the terms and conditions that you cannot have more than one regular saving account?
    I consider myself to be a male feminist. Is that allowed?

    I think this was discussed a while back when issue 5 came out. Although the T&C's don't expressly state that it is one account of any issue per person, the way Santander apply the T&C's mean customers are limited to one at a time regardless of issue.

    I suspect we'll be having a similar discussion when issue 2 of the Ford Money RS comes out - unless the T&C's are updated before then the same situation will apply.

    Many thanks for your response. I wish it was a bit clearer, I wouldn't waste my time otherwise!

    A lot of people would agree with this sentiment, and not just for RS accounts.
