I just cheeked it my saffron 12 Month Fixed Rate Members Regular Saver is only paying 1.75%.

AFAIK you could not get two RSAs running parallel at the same time. I tried that last year they close one of them.

Is there any way of getting i10, such as closing i9 and reopen i10 in order to get interest of 2.05% ?

If only there was two pages of chatter on this thread detailing how to do this.

(Which is exactly the same procedure as issue 8 to 9)

Yes, just contact them and explain you want to close your existing RS and open the new version. Transfer £500 from your existing RS into the new account and the remainder to your linked bank account. I did the same from the previous version into version 9 and again recently into version 10. Both times done efficiently without any fuss.

For customers with the account already, Suffolk (formerly Ipswich) Building Society have increased the Smart Saver rate from 0.25% to 0.35%.  With the 3% bonus, that's now 3.35%.

My only difference this time is, I have been asked to provide ID and proof of address photocopies for Virgin HBCRS11.

I don't think the response in such a situation would be as has happened, indeed the said terms stipulate in such a scenario that the account would be changed into their  (non existent)  normal regular saver.
