    Last year Principality didn't offer a Christmas regular saver to everyone, you had to have a previous years Christmas regular saver and choose the "Maturity Christmas Saver" from your maturity options on the previous years Christmas saver. This was the only reason I kept the account in place, despite the poor rate it offered, just in case they did the same again this year.
    This year however they have opened the account up to everyone again.
    I did the same but have already given maturity instruction to open a Regular Saver Bond (Issue 30) on 5 November which they do not allow to change to open a Christmas 2023 Regular Saver instead .

    I'm assuming my HSBC 3% won't be changing but hope I'm wrong.

    Can't see it. Think HSBC and some others would have already taken this rise into account with their latest offerings, but of course that's not an RS.
  • No, their RS is still a dire 1% 🤦‍♂️

    Is their month, a calendar month or an account anniversary month, guessing the latter? Wondering if it needs to be a SO? Does Principality allow you to pay in via a debit card each month?

    @snapdragon it’s a calendar month I believe. It doesn’t have to be an SO, can be cheque, faster payment etc. They don’t allow debit card payments on this account 
    If you want me to definitely see your reply, please tag me @forumuser7 Thank you.

  • I'm hoping it's calendar month as I have set my SO for 1st of the month. 

    Didn't see a debit card option tbh.
