Bank of Scotland Regular Saver - renewal

I've been able to use the 'renewal' process successfully to close and re-open my Lloyds and Halifax regular savers. However, this approach doesn't work for the BoS one. I just keep getting the 'something's gone wrong' page after trying many times on both the Halifax and BoS online pages whilst logged in.

Is this other people's experiences or is there a way around this please?

The same happened to me; and there was no way around for the BoS. I couldn't renew it (even though the option was there — it just wouldn't let me renew) and had withdrawn £1,750…So I had to begin again the next qualifying month with the £250 regular SO.

I can't seem to close or renew it either! So will just start funding it again and wait it out.

As expected really. It took them a while to do nothing different than most others.
 I have noticed though on Bridlington's other post on the easy access thread some of Coventry's other accounts haven't gone the whole hog of 0.25% so well done Coventry for that.

I hold the first edition First Home Saver, however, despite having an email from Coventry BS this morning about reducing the rate on my EA account, I have had no formal notification of a reduction to First Home Saver (1), despite having five-figure sum in there!

Look like the Yorkshire BS are reducing the rate of their standard Regular Saver from 5.25% to 5.05% on 6th September but the rate of their Christmas Regular Saver (and eSaver) 2024 will remain unchanged at 6.00%.

I have five accounts with Cov of which 4 have been notified to me so far at various times from 0721 to 1010.
The only one missing is the FHS 1,but thy still have the rest of the day to inform.

same here - they must be being sent in batches... i've got six accounts with CBS (2 RS & 4 EA) and I received emails for two of the EA accounts (each with £1 in), but nothing yet for the other four.

eSaver 2023 RS remains at 7% too, though for me it matures next month.

according to their new rates factsheet, they're dropping the rates by 0.25% on all their accounts (except their Notice).
