I personally would have liked the 1st of the month to be an option as the other 5 reg savers I have go out on the 1st.
Still 7% is not to bad.

I'm going to hold off applying until the 1st as then the account can be funded as part of my normal monthly routine.

When I logged in this account wasn’t offered as available for me to open - I’ve had continuous membership of Coventry for quite a few years now, certainly before January 2022, but with several continuously overlapping accounts rather than one or more enduring accounts that antedate the threshold date. It looks as if I appear not to be eligible for this account. 

Did you try going through the link I posted after logging in? The account didn't show as available to open when I first logged in but I then guessed the application link and it appeared as available for me to open despite my not being eligible for the account.

Same for me, logged in and found nothing. 

Left first login tab open.
Went back to your link and opened new tab.
There it was so I applied.
Don’t think I’ve been with them that long.
Just found my first email from them, 02-02-23.
Follow these steps, well you never know.

It doesn't matter how many accounts you had and how short-lived they were. As long as there was no gap in your membership you are eligible.

I don’t see a way of navigating to the link by pasting in while still being logged in, so I’m not going to try - probably sensible to wait until it’s officially available!

I'm opening mine tomorrow, first deposit December 1st. That secures the 1st for future deposits.

If you open it tomorrow and make your first deposit on 1st December you will loose 1 month because your deposit month starts on the day you opened the account, not on the day you make your first deposit. If you want to stick to the 1st and retain 12 months allowance you should open it on 1st December.

You don't lose out on an entire month. Coventry are not using calendar months for this account.

From their website:

"if you opened the account on 15 December you'd have from 15 December to 14 January to pay in your first month's allowance. Your second month would start on 15 January"

Note that payments into this account must be new money to Coventry. No transfers from existing savings in Coventry easy access accounts as I sometimes do with First Home Saver 1.

Good evening, 

Just a quick one re Coventry...

I already have an Cash ISA with them & I've just noticed in my account details section it states...

Named Bank Account - Account holder(s) Starling Bank Ltd (Should that actually be my name?)

I've checked the account & sort code which are correct but just a little paranoid the named bank account - account holder bit is wrong...

It actually states Starling Bank Limited next to the bank name within the named bank account section...

I'm pretty sure it was all pre populated when I originally applied.

Also, I've only been with Coventry since October, but the 7% account is also showing available to me...

If I apply will it go through or be rejected once they realise?

Cheers
