    If it helps anyone:
    I closed the Principality 6 month Member Saver, 16.00 hrs today, transferred maturing funds to one of my PBS triple access savers @ 4.85% (for now at least).. got 'message in your account' email while still logged in... ac closed.

    Applied for a new - have to log out to apply & back in to complete, funded  - and Old SO cancelled & new set up from my hub.

    It's a shame Santander don't allow you just to change the ref on a dead PBS payee in the app or it would have been quicker than the.20 mins start to finish..

    Sorry, off topic quicky:

    Is anyone else finding PBS refreshing pages much slower lately?

    Edge, Win 10 (or 11?) - but all the other institutions (and that's a lot for me..) running as normal?

    Thanks so much for the very helpful posts on here.  I would never have thought of extending Skipton and Principality even though I've done similar with LBG.  Such a help to those of us trying to make our savings pot last as long as possible
    Couldn't agree more. I've been busy yesterday and today thanks to a number of posts on this thread.

    Just opened  Lloyds monthly @ 5.25%.  Also, renewed and reopened the club lloyds monthly.

    Rate on both is fixed and allows unlimited withdrawals.
    Have you not had a Club Lloyds monthly saver in the last 12 months, because according to their t&c’s you cant reopen another one within a 12 months period.
    It does say that, but they don't enforce it. Easy to close and reopen online.
    Can someone remind me of the rule of thumb as to when renewing a fixed reg saver is more lucrative than leaving it to mature? The rate that the removed funds can earn is an obvious variable in the equation.

    My Club RS has 6 mths-worth of deposits.
