Yes, but I think people were aware of the circumstances needed to achieve the banking error, and took advantage

Do they ?
I'm not aware of anyone posting to say they have managed to break the rules.
Surely the MSE website wouldn't allow that behavior.

Are you having a laugh?

So not the same thing as a bank saying "don't do this" and doing it anyway or "this isn't for you if..." and ignoring it, then?

The matched betting discussion used to be called the Gambling Introductory Offer Loopholes. Fortunately nobody at MSE HQ questioned whether loophole was a naughty word or I for one would be a lot less comfortably off!

Loopholes, cutting corners, fabricating debit card transactions etc, bla bla bla. 

Nothing short of calculated risk, everyone makes their own choice either to take the risk or not and to what expense.  Can't see anything illegal, breach of contract, perhaps. Consequences are known. Take it or leave it. 

Naive to think people sign up, contribute and read in a forum about finance and engage in certain topics with the intent not to maximise profit. Let's admit it, capitalism at its best.

Disagree? Fine, but please don't lecture others happy to take the risk.

Agree. Some people need to get a grip, frankly.

Are they really? How many times have we seen threads on these fora from individuals who have been shocked to find their accounds had been closed and/or they now had a lifetime ban from the bank/group?

Edit: just realised you are one of these contributors!

It's also perfectly community-spirited to warn others against taking paths which have proven for other members of that community to be perilous. Of course, the risk is entirely one's own.

I have a good supply of chill pills should anyone require one or two 😉

The Cambridge 6% regular saver (for 3 Year members) is on their web site. Application by branch, phone or mail. No on-line applications. 

Edit to add: Only allowed one Regular Saver of any type at any time so if you have an existing Regular Saver with them you cannot get this as well. Counts me out (for now)

This morning it's appeared as a maturity option in online banking for my soon to mature existing regular saver so I'm going to open one by this route.
