    If it's variable, if the account rate falls by more than 0.25% more than base rate falls, don't they have to give you 30 days notice and allow you to exit without penalty?

    At least 14 days' notice and 30 days' window to close the account.  No penalty.

    We'll have to see when the product is released, but usually it is 1 year of continuous membership.

    The terms were stated in the member newsletter e-mail. Sorry don't know how to upload the screenshot.

    I've just spoken to Coventry BS.
    Their new loyalty rate regular saver will pay 7% variable
    £250 max monthly deposit
    Withdrawals/early closure subject to 30 day interest penalty
    Sounds good ..... did you happen to ask if you could run this one and still run the 5.5% RS as well?
    You can have both. Also some further details to add in addition to my original post:
    The account will be launched on Tuesday 28/11/23.
    The account runs on an account month basis so if you opened it on 28/11/23 and deposited the maximum amount, you couldn't deposit further funds until 28/12/23 so no 13th payment is possible on this occasion. I have now added these details to my original post.
    Speaking as someone who likes to worry, that’s a worry. Open the account 28/11 and then set up a standing order for 28/12? Right at the end of December with weekends and Bank Holidays on the way! Not ideal timing. 

    Option to wait until 1/12 to open the account but then could it be withdrawn? The recent Monmouthshire 7% went pretty quick as I recall.
