    Near the end of the online application process it comes up with eligibility criteria which include not holding a Regular Saver with Saffron already.  In an "online chat" with Saffron, I was told that holding a Regular Saver Issue 4 (as I do, maturing in the New Year) I was not eligible now, but that the maturity form for the Issue 4 account would have an option to open the Members Regular Saver Issue 8.  I know this risks opening another Coventry-type debate but I thought it was worth reporting anyway.

    I can't see an option on the iPhone app to apply for new accounts. (Android may be different.) 
    I applied on the web and the account showed immediately both on web and app.

    I year or so back most of the RSs I was opening were for £250pm, now strangely in the new era of reduced interest rates most are for £500 - this one, 2 Tiptons, Coventry.
