How much is the Coventry Sunny Day Reg Saver extra month worth ?

It's not about the final extra month, which would make pennies, it's getting the first deposit on the last day of the opening month, followed by another on the first day of the next month. This allows your  initial £300 to earn interest for 12 months.
An extra £9.37

If the account was not opened until the 1st of the month the extra £150 would be sitting in an easy access account earning around 5% at current rates, which would earn £7.50, so the difference for making a 13th payment for this one is very small.

Shame there's not some digits missing from that figure

£50 are they having a laugh. That's about £26 interest, just about cover a fish and chip supper for me and the wife.

Yes but that wasn't the question, and the same would apply to all months the money was in an easy access account. 
It's not the most profitable regular saver, and I nearly didn't bother opening it, but the prise draw adds another dimension.

YBS Saver
I don’t think I’ll be bothering. £50 a month isn’t really worth it imo

Very poor offering from YBS compared to their previous regular savers. At least the £50max Nationwide Start to save had the possibility of winning the quarterly prize draw.

YBS :

The way I see it is that is more funds earning at 8%, ok its not a huge figure but its still 8%.

YBS new RS 

Fantastic offering at 8%

For those poo pooing the £50 per month.

Just think when a different institution offers a similar product for another £50 at a similar rate 

And then another offers one at a similar rate 

Before you know it you're running with scores of RS.

All maturing at different times.

All feeding each other.

And all ensuring your overall interest rate is very significant than your could get elsewhere.

And ensuring you have a presence in lots of institutions should a product or a prize draw or a loyalty bonus is paid.

Some on here have been doing it for years and years.

Approximately £10 over leaving the funds in a 5% account. That's three dinners for me and worth the minutes of annual administration.

And yet you'll waste time and energy which could be put to use in applying for this product.

PS you've definitely made me hungry 🐠 🍟

Most importantly if you wait until the end of month you have a good chance to miss the boat.
