  • Won't let me open the account. I've already got the Coventry Loyalty Reg Saver (2) at 6.25%.

    I am tempted to leave it as is and see if I can get away with two Christmas 2025s.  Or the other option is to call Principality and tell them I've made a mistake.  Any thoughts?
    I'd let it ride, unless I needed that £125 elsewhere.

    How far out from maturity are you? I've got an RS maturing on 20/12, might see if they offer me double-dibs on the Xmas 25 too.
    Mine matures on 21/12. Letter arrived yesterday (7/12) and dated 5/12 so in theory you should have received this letter already, but if not you can probably see your maturity options online now.

    I have enough money in my EA pot to fund all my RSs so this £125 would just sit in Cahoot's 5.12% on 1st January.  I think it is worth trying to get two Xmas25 running, can't think of any downsides, in worst case scenario they will return £125 with a couple of day's delay.
    I bet I'm not alone in having both the six months rs and maturity winter rs both maturing in the next two weeks.

    Both theoretically give me the option to open the new Christmas 25 one too (which I've already opened).

    Principality BS

     Six month RS matured into (another) Christmas 25 with £125 in it

    Let's see what tomorrow brings when my Maturity Winter also matures.

    Thanks. App or browser? Do you already have either of the RS mentioned above?
  • Oh great. Looks like I may still be in with a chance. I'll wait until it's live on the web site and then give it another try. Thanks

    Thanks to everyone who posts in this thread as I have found it a great source of information.

    Re opening the Coventry accounts. I couldn't log in and open accounts so CS suggested I remove the ad-blocker which solved the problem.
  • Re: Coventry, I see on the main website it just says, 'You can only have one seasonal RS at a time so I read that as other RS's don't stop you having this one.
    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.
