hip hip hurrah ! Just opened 6 more x £1k x 2.02% a/cs

And now we have forumites highlighting, non RS products, in this thread. I hope that's not out of  spite to provoke other forumites into a reaction.

If it is, it's just another example of people trying to destroy the best thread on here?

Absolutely bewildering.

NEW Virgin Home Buying Coach Regular Saver Issue 5 now available

Same details as previous issues - Matures 20 June 22

https://uk.virginmoney.com/savings/products/home_buying_coach_regular_saver

Remember that "Customers can only have one Home Buying Coach Regular Saver at any time" (for those who opened previous editions).

I used to have more but reduced to 1 
Virgin Money have given me some great rates relative to the market and some free wine, so I'm not going to break their T&Cs just because their IT isn't sophisticated enough to spot it.

I hope a lot of people on here will have learnt the hard way with Coventry Building Society what happens when you try to game a flaw in their IT.

I still haven't received a letter from the Coventry.

High interest current accounts have always been discussed on this thread, see post 9 of this thread. The account is listed there.

Ah right.

Must just be coincidental they've decided to interject with bragging about how many accounts they've suddenly opened on the back of the previous posts arguing about whether such things should be highlighted.

Obviously my mistake.

I have a reminder to give Triodos 33 days notice - does anyone know how we do this?

Something I've just realised with Bath Building Society: if you are under 35, you can open both the Homestart and standard Regular Saver accounts without living or working locally.  Open the Homestart first, once the paperwork is through, you can then open the standard Regular Saver as an existing customer.

Am I correct that this is not a 12 month account? It just lists the maximum balance of £100,000 so assume so.

I've sent them a secure message to ask when the exact maturity date is as I'm not sure whether it's the anniversary of application date or when the funds hit the account.  So I imagine you request notice via their secure message service.

Yes, there's no expiry date (other than the minimum 400 months it'd take to reach £100,000).  Worth noting it is a variable rate though and I've no experience of dealing with Bath BS, so can't comment on whether they "bait and switch" or keep rates consistent.

However (in the last few days) they've changed the conditions to require you to have been an existing customer for 12 months (no length specified previously) or live/work/study in Bath.
