I've had two 12 month fixes with them, the second maturing a few days ago. No issues, I'd happily use them again.

Gatehouse RS
Is it just me? I'm really struggling with the application, it seems to constantly time out before I can complete it. Or I assume it is timing out, the continue button just doesn't work after the first few screens but it isn't showing any error message. I have tried 4 times getting slightly further each time, I've even tried having answers pre-typed and copy and paste, but I just can't supply all the information required for the set up before the continue button stops working!
So frustrating, think I'll just have to accept this one's not for me.

I remember somebody complaining about the same, but I applied twice without any problems and without trying hard to do this faster (Windows, FF).Snapdragon said:Gatehouse RS

I found it very easy when I applied as a new customer from my PC using google chrome, although it was at the end of last month, so things could have changed since then.Snapdragon said:Gatehouse RS

What browser and from what device are you trying to apply from?1 -
I was on a Laptop using Chrome. I'd accept I'm not a touch typists but never had speed issues when applying before but after 4 attempts each locking up by the bank account tab at the latest, I think I will just give up. I'm already paying more than £4000 a month into 14 Regular Savers which I try to ladder (although the RBS/NW/Coventry don't have an end date or at least not in the next 12 months) and the Gatehouse 7% seemed an obvious choice for my December RS. Hopefully someone will be along with a Christmas one shortly.Stargunner said:

Snapdragon — I'd also try clearing the cache and/or the 'stored data'/cookies for that site. Good luck.friolento said:Snapdragon said:

My FD regular matured last Saturday and today is the 5th working day after maturity and I still can't open a new regular saver.
How long do you normally need to wait before the system lets you open a new regular saver?0 -
Go in chat and ask them to manually transfer the money. Mine matured yesterday and tonight I asked them to trasfer money and interests to my Fd account and they did it immediately. I opened a new RS also.Speculator said:My FD regular matured last Saturday and today is the 5th working day after maturity and I still can't open a new regular saver.

It's the first lesson I had when I moved to the UK in 2008: "If you don't ask you don't get"
And, apparently, it is true 🙂2 -

Just checked again and my regular saver has just changed to a "savings account" so should be okay to open a new regular saver. Had to wait the full 5 working days.1
