    There is the ability to add a 13th payment but at 8% on £200 for just shy of a month only gains an additional £1 in interest over that gained by 12 payments. I don't normally bother.

    Hmm my beehive RS matured today, I have to either leave £10 to keep it open or close the account to get all the cash. Any recommendation? Are people keeping it in case a good existing deal comes out?

    I've left the £10 in as it seemed to be the quickest option. Can always close it later.

    Same….have left £10 in there to keep my options open. Just waiting for the rest of the cash to finally land now in my Bank.

    I'm sure the conditions say you have to pay a minimum of £10 into the account every month.

    Of course that's true but it is when the payments 2 to 12 are made up to a month earlier than the mensiversary date of payment 1 that gain more.

    What bother is it, when setting up monthly £200 standing orders for a regular saver, to have a specific end date one month later (in order to make 13 payments)?
