Issue 4 of the virgin money home buying coach regular saver available for applications:
https://uk.virginmoney.com/savings/products/home_buying_coach_regular_saver

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.

Yes, on top of it

Must be too early for me but does the coach account run off their normal savings platform and the app is just a perk, with no direct linking of the two?

We haven`t received "the" letter - yet. Thanks to Liger for his post, where Colum Sand`s song lyrics seem appropriate - "Whatever you say, say nothing when you talk about you-know-what"!

Then you are reprimanded for not being clear of what account you are posting about

Yes, once I had successfully opened the Home Buying Coach Regular Saver account (or whatever its exact title is), it appeared in my Virgin Money savings online account alongside my existing Regular e-Savers (or whatever their exact title is) and Everyday Saver account (or whatever its exact title is). And everything works exactly the same way as the other accounts. Possibly the reason it appeared there is that I gave those login details when it wanted me to Sign In Or Sign Up.

I am now trying to ignore the app entirely (since I have no further use for it), and I can't see a way to do anything else with the account using the app, nor a way to do anything else with the app via the account - although I haven't really looked.

I couldn't manage to open the account without using the app (I did try), but perhaps it's possible. The app certainly seemed to lead me very smoothly and inexorably towards opening the account, there was a series of tedious questions then an invitation to "hear more" about the account.

Still not received my letter from the Coventry. Maybe it's because I did not open the 1.05% version.

Neither have I but I am now prepared

I doubt every multi-accounter will get pulled up by the Coventry.

Best to move on now and not discuss this to death [of all the accounts].

@Hexane thanks for that. I couldn't see a way of opening the account via the coach app and had to just go off the link in this thread. I guess it all goes with play, the app and virgin as the account went through, as did my money. The info in the app is useful for those with no knowledge about property buying.
