YBS just rang me I could have had a telephone application appointment tomorrow but she warned me that the call would take approximately 40 minutes so opted for the forms to be sent out to me.

I just popped to the branch in my lunch hour, and they very kindly let me open the account there and then, as they weren't busy. The lady at the next counter was also opening one! As a guesstimate, I reckon it took about 15 minutes.

Further to my previous post another local branch phoned me a little after first and I told her another branch was sending out forms but I had heard they could be emailed. She has emailed the forms to me. She also said the account was only launched today

... Virgin Home Buying Coach Regular Saver isn’t mentioned anywhere? . . .

I opened one and one or two of us have 3 of these by now.

Can these be opened by homeowners? 

Had a quick read of the website and it does state for prospective first time buyers.

Anyone can open the account. You just need to download the virgin hoe buying app and complete the first questions in the app. Somewhere way back there is a direct link to sign up without the need for the app, but this is against the rules.

It is also against the rules to have two........

The application form for the YBS Loyalty Regular Saver can be downloaded from the website.
Not sure if I'm allowed to post a link here though?

I wonder what is meant by an active account? I have had an account with £1 in for several years, nothing in or out apart from 1p interest, then last October I opened another one with YBS.

AFAICS you can request an application pack on their webby, but I can't see any download option. Happy to be corrected.

As long as you haven't closed that account with £1 in you should be alright. Can take an age for building society savings accounts with no fixed term or funding requirement to be declared inactive.

I wonder if I am eligible. I am already a member, with branch RS 1,2,3.
Before I closed these accounts, I opened Internet saver plus issue 7 in September 2020.

According to the phone call I just received from my local branch, you are NOT eligible.  I am in a similar position, continuous membership since 2017, but my only active account is less than a year old.  They told me I cannot open the new account.

Check in your closed accounts and if there is no break in membership as you opened new account whilst another was still open you should qualify.  Send them a message whilst you are logged in if you find they have made a mistake
