All my savings accounts from last year are maturing next month. Thank god for for Tipton and Coventry and the virgin builder account. I think this may be the last year of anything "decent". Once these expire at the end of this year

OK Fingerbobs - you persuaded myself and OH to open the Dudley one year regular saver issue 5 using the online forms. How do you make the deposit? Usually with postal applications you send in a cheque payable to yourself but there is no mention of this on the form.

No idea I'm afraid. I have no accounts with Dudley.where_are_we said:OK Fingerbobs - you persuaded myself and OH to open the Dudley one year regular saver issue 5 using the online forms.

Anyone find it a bit weird that forumites cite stuff like 'waste of my time', 'not worth my efforts', 'minimum wage' etc on accounts offered up on here and then spend time posting and posting on here?

Some people will happily spend time on forums/Facebook etc posting unproductive comments but baulk at the idea of using the same time (or less) to earn a few pounds.3

I am sitting on my backside making a comment here. For me to sign up to that account, I would have to get off my backside, find a shop that has a printer, print a few pages, fill them out, go buy a stamp, go buy an envelope, fill in the form, go to a post box, wait for the post to come back with a bank letter, and then finally send some money in, plus avoid covid. That I do not want to do, far easier to type a message on here giving my opinion on an account, hence the discussion forum.veryintrigued said:Anyone find it a bit weird that forumites cite stuff like 'waste of my time', 'not worth my efforts', 'minimum wage' etc on accounts offered up on here and then spend time posting and posting on here?

Perhaps you consider not everyone has a printer or is close to a post box. Adding into the mix we have Covid. Not worth £20 I am afraid.crumpet_man said:Some people will happily spend time on forums/Facebook etc posting unproductive comments but baulk at the idea of using the same time (or less) to earn a few pounds.0 -
Perhaps they would rather spend their time browsing the forums and making the odd comment? Just depends how you value your time.crumpet_man said:Some people will happily spend time on forums/Facebook etc posting unproductive comments but baulk at the idea of using the same time (or less) to earn a few pounds.
I could get a second job and earn more money, but I'd rather spend my time doing other things.1
