Might be missing something. But why close issue 3 to open issue 4 when both have the same rate and pay in limit..

because issue 4 lasts a few more days than issue 3 ............

...because NW might reduce the rate on issue 3 but not issue 4.... (pretty unlikely)

Likewise, they could reduce the rate on issue 4 and leave issue 3 as it is (also unlikely)

Also, if they reduce the rate on Issue 3 you could close and open an Issue 4 at any given time, providing that this rate isn’t also reduced.

It is not just a couple of days' break though. It is up to five working days which in practice could mean 7 days.

Sorry, I posted in reply to a previous comment re First Direct RS. Ignore me.

As mentioned, Nationwide will not allow more than one RS

OK, thanks for the reply.
If you had a second current account  with them would you be able  to apply then?

You can only be named on one Flex Regular Saver product at any time (of any Issue).

Fair enough.

Nationwide Building Society have launched Flex Regular Saver (issue 4), paying 6.50% (variable)

The account is available to new and existing Nationwide current account holders.  

It runs for 1 year and reverts into an easy access account on maturity.  It allows savers to pay in up to £200 per month and allows 3 penalty-free withdrawals. 

Nationwide only allows savers to have one Flex Regular Saver product at a time (regardless of issue number).  

Further details on the Nationwide website, here.

So l only opened a Flex Regular Saver on Tuesdays so will be ineligible for this one as well?

I would have thought that you are still within 14 days window, so you should be able to close the existing one and to re-open, if you wish.

I personally  think it's not worth the effort.  But thank you  for the information.

My FD regular saver matured on the 10th of December automatically transfered to my existing FD savings account dated 9th.

I opened a new regular saver immediately on the 10th and the first deposit was dated the 10th.

No break whatsoever.
