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.

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.
Separately, Leek BS is cutting the rate on its currently open RS product from 1.35% to 1.10% effective 2nd December.12 -
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.

If you ever fancied a nickname James how about The Internet Scourer?2

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?1 -
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?0

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 one0
