Regular Savings Accounts: The Best Currently Available List!

[Deleted User]

Reading through the posts, I opened and funded the new Coventry seasonal saver today.

Can I put another £250 in early Jan or do I need to wait till the 20th? 

Its no issue, I fund the highest payers first so its down the list but just wondered.

The account runs on an account month basis, if you opened and fully funded it on 20/12/24 you'd need to wait till 20/1/25 before funding it again.

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.

As suspected the Maturity Winter is now also a funded Christmas 25.

That's three in total.

Well, my 1 yr RS Bond 22 has morphed into a funded (second) 6mth RS 2. Quite what has happened to the residual + interest I'm not entirely sure yet....

If it's like my matured Principality then give it a couple of hours and it'll be in your CA (assume it'll get paid the same on a non working day)

As in they close the duplicate accounts and send funds to the NBA automatically?

I interpreted it as the old RS was converted into a second 6 Month RS with £200 carried over into the new account and the remaining balance would be sent to the nominated bank account.

That is exactly what they did with mine, and they also did it with a Christmas saver, so I now have 2 x 6 month RS and Christmas savers

Thanks. I didn't realise that and have already opened and funded. I prefer to pay on the 1st: can I change my SO to start from Feb 1?

Yes, that is fine, as you can pay in anytime during the 1 month window. You can also pay in multiple times during the month up to the £250 limit.
