    From today's circular:

    'It continues to be a difficult time for savers but we’re still offering market-leading rates and supporting savers with exceptional service levels. Our new member loyalty account - coming soon - will reward members who’ve been with us for a certain period of time.'

    Could be interesting  :)

    So it looks like I should receive £2.50.a month, which I can transfer to my current account. 
    Unless you need it leave the money in the account so you will reach 1000 before.

    Slightly dull update for the Nationwide BS Start to Save account in this post:

    https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/comment/76870785/#Comment_76870785

    I have had an email saying that there will be an extension to the prize draws with the last one now taking place on 24 January 2022.
    Not dull for me: I won £100 in this month's draw.  I didn't even realise there was a draw on this account :D.

    Congratulations!

    My Halifax Regular Saver matures this month - Is there an option to tell them to just close the account at maturity, rather than roll it over for another year? (The rate for new accounts isn't interesting to me.) 
    The maturity letter just said it will roll over, with no other options offered, and I can't see any way to select alternative maturity options on the web site.

    You can close the account at any time with no interest penalty.

    Yes, I guess that's what I'll have to do - just wait for the matured funds to appear then shut the account manually. Just wondering if there's a "Maturity Options" form somewhere that has eluded me.

    Coventry have finally caught up with my OH - is he one of the last ones with multiple accounts?
    Graciously they are giving 2 months notice before closing the extra accounts up to 19th October 2021.
    They say its the 1st account opened after 18th October 2020 that will be allowed to stay open. 
    But OHs regular saver 3  (1.55%) matures on 16th October, just then leaving issue 4 and 5 open. 
    Issue 4 matures was opened in November 2020 so thats the one that will stay open at least for the final month before it matures.
    Issue 5 will be the excess account they will close.
    But then I will reopen it again in November - that is if issue 5 still exists then
