    "Not sure why you would want to open the members R.S @ 3.5%"

    i think you must of misread my post it's the 6% regular saver which i opened up online
    and didnt have to go into a branch to open
    it's funded with the 6% applied in the account detail page

    If you mean close a matured account and open a new one, Yes. My issue 2 matured yesterday. My Maturity instructions were to transfer the funds to my other Skipton account. I’ve just used the app to check that’s happened, open Issue 3 and make the first payment by transfer from that other account.

    If the Regular Saver 7% is still on offer (at 8am today it was indeed) you can. I have done it so many times

    In your post you talked about opening two R.S's so I thought you wanted one of each as you can't have two the same. So then I thought why would you put money in a 3.5% that was my thinking.
    I choose the rooms that I live in with care,
    The windows are small and the walls almost bare,
    There's only one bed and there's only one prayer;
    I listen all night for your step on the stair.

    It only states on the summary that: "Customers may only have two Fixed Term Regular Saver accounts open at a time, either solely or jointly, with a combined maximum deposit of £250 per month not exceeding the maximum balance of £3,750"

    No, sorry. In the past the account can be closed mid-term and immediately reopened at same rate with a new maturity date.

    I've just closed the RS2 and opened a RS3 within minutes. Good to get the maturity date move further along the year.

    I am unable to close my existing account as "Withdraw all funds and close account" is greyed out. Is there a trick I am missing?
