I finally managed to get the YBS Christmas Saver Opened. what a mess up with all the verification rubbish. It's been going on for 10 days . Anyway, loaded up £150 for this month and another £150 at the beginning of February.

Coventry has launched another RS issue @ 5% but not opened as I've got others on the go at higher interest rates. Plus, I've already got 2 Coventry RS @ 5.5% with one about to mature.

How did you manage to have two 5.5% regular savers with Coventry?

Was it the Coventry who did a sweep a couple of years ago and closed the accounts of those who had multiple issues of the same regular saver?

@Special_Saver2, thanks for all your hard work.

I just noticed on the Chorley site that the regular saver in your section 4 is no longer available and seems to have been replaced by this one with similar rules.  They need to receive the first deposit by 31st January and it matures on 31st December:

Though you only need to do this if you're applying as a new customer, if you're an existing customer sending ID isn't necessary.

Furness Christmas Regular Saver Issue 1

I was pleasantly surprised to receive a passbook today confirming that my Christmas Regular Saver account has been opened. 

I am completely new to Furness, and had requested an application pack via a message on their website. I duly completed and returned the application form, together with a cheque for £1 and an ordinary - ie, not certified - copy of my ID. My cheque was dated 11 January and cleared on 24 January. The initial deposit of £1 is shown in the passbook as having reached the Furness account on 23 January.

Not having submitted original or certified copies of my ID, I was fully expecting my application to be rejected. I now need to decide whether and how to use the account, register for online access, etc.

Furness are a reputable Building Society that uses passbooks. In effect the Xmas RS1 can be used as easy access RS with one penalty withdrawal allowed each year. You must make a deposit of at least £1 each month up to the maximum of £500. Lets hope the 6% variable doesn`t drop soon.

can anyone confirm it's okay to pay into the TSB monthly saver from an external Bank?

Just opened one today and want to pay into it asap. Tried to do the transfer internally @ TSB but couldn't.

External works from memory, internal transfers are next day.
The first one that is.

It's a reasonable account to have just now but with just one withdrawal a year, I would not use the term easy access but more of an emergency brake if the dodo hits the fan.

I can confirm doing it in the past without any implications. I've opened a new one 2 days ago and funded it from external bank, payment came through immediately.
