Halifax don't seem to have the same lockout clause as Lloyds and BoS, but I agree your method minimises risk (although you could probably argue the point).0 -

If you're planning on keeping funding a new regular saver with Halifax it really isn't worth making life complicated by making a thirteenth payment.The difference between keeping it in an easy access @5% and putting it in the Halifax RS @5.5% is one penny extra for every three days it's in there.I know this is a money saving site but that is taking things to extremes.0

To be fair the Halifax process of renewing, closing and then opening a new regular saver is pretty slick and I do like to squeeze what I can out of what I have. But I also like an easy life, I like how the Halifax auto renews as it means zero intervention from me, the standing order to the same account number just carries on. All I have to do is move the money when it's matured from the instant access account.
If it was a few pounds extra then just maybe.2 -
Usual drill:
Leeds BS Regular Saver Issue 52 at 5.25% to replace Issue 51 at the same rate but with a new maturity date of 6/5/26.5 -
Does the Club Lloyds auto renew or will I need to manually start a new one
Once the current RS switches to a normal saver and I withdraw the money
can I close that account or just leave it open for the next RS0
