Yorkshire BS Christmas 2023 RS definitely disappeared for a few days & then reappeared.

Seconded.

@soulsaver
Thanks for that. I was beginning to doubt my own sanity. 

New RS confirmed on Friday but hasn’t appeared in my accounts list so think I’ll have to ring for details so I can get 1st £300 in this month😊

Wasn’t going to bother with another TSB RS but with current one maturing on 6/2 and the increase to 5% might as well go all in again. 

My wife has been trying to open a new TSB regular saver her previous one matured in Dec but this Screen pops up to inform her that's she is not eligible and it gives a list of 5 possible reasons why she not eligible non of which apply also gives phone number 0345 975 8758 told to phone to find out the reason why. Did so but they could not explain why. It was passed to tech department but has not been resolved .She was given a phone appointment to setup account 06-02-23

It looks like I've been quite fortunate then. I opened a 2% regular saver on 26/1/22 so if all goes according to plan I should be able to open the 5% one tomorrow.

 Hope you are lucky

I had this issue last summer trying to apply for this account. Somehow it mistakenly was flagging that I had opened an account within the last 12 months (untrue) and wouldn’t allow another one to be opened. Seems like you’re having more joy getting it sorted but frontline teams couldn’t sort mine out. Got the account open through the complaints team and got £100 out of them - more interest than you would earn on the account so not the biggest problem.

There was a slight hiccup. I got the screen of doom as well and after using the chat thing in the app I was told they wanted to go over a few additional checks with me and thus I've got a phone appointment on 6/2/23 as well. I was also given the option of booking an appointment at my local branch on 7/3/23 as an alternative, which I declined.

Tsb wouldn't let me open a regular saver due to profile merging issues. I had to go through a phone appointment. They claimed it had actually opened the account but told me it hadn't and presumably wasn't visible as it was not associated with the correct profile.

I'm in the process of changing my regular feeder account from the chase saver to kroo for the increased interest from 1st February. Assume this is now the best feeder option other than the nationwide one?

It's what I'm planning to do. My concern is that Kroo is going to get hammered with applications/deposits today/tomorrow, might make life difficult.

Think I'll take the hit of 0.3% for a week to let their systems cool down a bit.

I opened a TSB monthly saver a couple of days ago and set up the standing order from my TSB current account.

I notice lots of people feed their regular savers from an easy access savings account. I assume this works well if you have a lump you are earning interest on but don't have 'new' money to save every month?

I have money in Zopa for instance but given I have a set amount of my salary I save every month, I cant see the difference in me just paying some into my monthly saver and some into my easy access? Or have I (as always) completely missed the point?
