    Mine is now listed along with my other regular savers and described as Virgin Money Home Buyer Coach. The balance is showing as £250. I can't yet access more detail as they are still working on it. I did everything via the app and am expecting to see the 1.75% interest on the account, but would prefer to see it in black and white. The SO is set up. Once the interest rate is confirmed I can forget about it as I do with my other Virgin RSs.
    Virgin have clearly set out to be innovative as with the wine offer but this seems to be just another RS with a bit of novelty chucked in. Like the ancient Man Utd accounts with vouchers for prawn sandwiches. 
    Yeah mine is the same status which as I say is unusual as usually the day after you can access the account and see interest rate etc etc but could just be due to weekend, as you say will be happier once can access it like the rest!! 
    Mine is now fully opened.

    Opened the Leek on November 6th. That didn't last long!
    No requirement to make monthly deposits, closure permitted at any time without penalty.
    Nothing in the T&Cs about the consequence of a rate reduction but I think that provides enough. I'll probably just leave my £1000 there and not add to it.

    Tipton BS has just launched a fixed rate RS paying 1.35% (max £500 pm, matures Feb-2022). For this one there's no app, or even any online access:  it involves a manual application form and cheque. I couldn't find any postcode restrictions.

    I can't see any restriction (online at least) for those of us who already hold the 2020/21 Tipton's Regular Saver.

    But in the paper copy of the 2019/20 Fixed Regular Saver (which matured and i started again as a 2% 2020/21 Fixed Regular Saver with the same account details) it states:

    Only one account can be opened per customer.

    I wonder if this means per issue or per Fixed Regular Saver?

    Set up a Coventry RS today, issue 3, I already have a issue 2.  When I look at the account it says interest is 0.00 %. Anybody else who has the two with Coventry find this?

    Assuming now it’s because I already have a Reg Saver with them, those that also said they had 2 best check as it looks like you’ll only get the interest on one

    It will update with correct rate in a day or so.

    Maybe give it a couple of days to show the correct interest rate and then feedback on here?
