I opened issue1 on Sep 2019

Issue 2 1.85% was available around 16 May 2020, this thread page 83

Issue 3 1.55% was available 10 September 2020, this thread page 140

Issue 4 1.3% was available 27 November 2020, this thread page 207

Issue 5 1.05% is availble now

Maybe I won't get a letter since I didn't open issue 5. :P

Even on my issue 4, I didn't put much money in as at the time I had Skipton easy access 1.2%, obviously this is now 0.65%. 

I refuse to believe Coventry BS didn't know all these people opening extra issue. I think we should be thankful they are giving us 2 month's notice, and potentially allow us to have 2 accounts (if issue 2 was opened before 23 may 2020)

Infact looking at Coventry closed account rate, issue 2 was available way before May 2020, it look like it was first available Jan 2020.

Yes you are correct, it's just I opened mine coincidencely in May 2020.

So it would appear the 23 May was very likely to do with the 2 months notice from 23 March.

The letter was sent 16th March, so they are giving the letter a week to arrive at people doorstep.

It could have been worse. They could have only allow us Issue 2, closed all other, pay us their lowest account interest rate because we broke t&c. 

By closing people issue 4 and beyond isn't going to save them that much interest 1.3% (4months) and 1.05% (1 month)

My husband has, but mine has still not arrived.  However, I have marked on my spreadsheet which accounts we can still pay into and those which no longer receive monthly payments

I have the first two issues which have been running fine and issue 4 popped up as a suggestion for me on the coach app, but when I applied I got a message that I couldn't open it as I already held one, so they seem to be on top of it.
