Virgin Regular E-Saver Issue 8 now available
2.25% Matures 20 December 2018

Thank you again Virgin Money

Having problems opening it, some wibble about not pressing the back button in both FireFox and Chrome. I expect it will sort itself out

Sadly no rate uplift. :-(

The YBS monthly saver should be paying 2.00% next month so maybe worth opening especially as it allows £500pm and 1 withdrawal.

Nice one ColdIron!
Have just tried to apply.
I genuinely don't remember having to put my employers details in before.
Will apply later when I get a chance to 'make sure' I have the correct address.

I had to call them yesterday (how to do a name change on marriage) and the first part of the recorded message before getting to speak to someone was about how they are currently considering what to do about the rate increase. Shame they couldn't have reached a conclusion before releasing this one :mad:

Very nice timing as the Virgin regular saver 2 matures in December so Virgin regular saver 8 neatly replaces it.

Is this a 14 month account - I've sent the first £250 and then from 01/12/2017 to 01/12/2018 is another 13 monthly payments so £3500 - ??? Have I got this correct?

ColdIron

Yes, 14 payments of £250 as they say in this section

What would the estimated balance be after 14 months based on a £3,500 deposit?

Projected balance at the end of the fixed term £3,549.22

Most, maybe all, the Virgin Money RS's have been timetabled to allow 14 calendar monthly payments before the maturity date specified in the launch info. Only if you open the account and make the first payment before the end of the calendar month in which the issue is launched, of course. Recent issues have launched between about 10th to 13th of the month, so you have plenty of time to open and make the first payment before the end of the launch month. Issue 8 has launched slightly earlier in the month than recent issues. I was expecting it on Monday of next week.
