    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?
    You can post a  link, sort of. Just leave a blank after the fullstops so the software doesn't recognise it as a link. We can handle such pseudo links  :smile:
    Thanks for posting it

    Opt for a telephone appointment, even tho it take 40mins, it's better than wait for post, fill it in, walk to postbox, wait for passbook. (And potential have to pay 2nd class postage if no free postage)

    Plus get it open in Feb and u can pay another £500 on 1st march

  • 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, 
    My bad just spotted this
    • You must have an active, open account (Savings or Mortgage) with Yorkshire Building Society or Chelsea Building Society or a SharePlans account that has been OPENED on or before the 1st January 2020, as either Main Holder, Other Holder or Trustee to be eligible for the Loyalty Regular Saver account.

    Can you share the application form, e.g. by putting it up on googledocs or in Dropbox? If you can't, please forward it to basicpay@gmail.com, then I'll put it up for people to download it

    Thanks. I get this message when I click on that link.

    How do you get emailed the form - as it would save them on postage?! Why on earth they cannot allow people to apply on line - if tiny Tipton can cope surely huge YBS can?

    I got "the requested "URL was rejected due to a WAF violation. Please contact YBS Service Desk or Network Services Data". :( 
    Tried 2 different search engines

    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
    I think what is causing confusion for some staff members of YBS is the following.

    At the top of their information sheet just below the large 3.50% figure they say:-
    To qualify for the Loyalty Regular Saver you must have had a continuous member relationship with YBS or Chelsea Building Society on or before the 1st January 2020.

    However a little lower down in the information sheet in the section titled How do I open and manage my account it says:-
    You must have an active, open account (Savings or Mortgage) with YBS or CBS that has been OPENED on or before the 1st January 2020.

    These two requirements are not the same thing, so I can see why some people might get refused an account.

    Strange, I don't get that error. I just get a blank page. It's probably checking the Referrer, to stop people direct linking to the file.
