    So when I've opened a Monmouthshire BS account, wont I now be an "existing member" and be able to get the 8% one?

    I'm mostly sure that's not the case, but how hard can it be to define what an existing member is in at least the T&C?

     It states on the website that to be eligible your existing account "needs to have transactions within the last 24 months"
    Wonder if they count interest added as a transaction?  
    Have we established the answer to this question for Monmouthshire?

    I did try to transfer in an additional sum to be on the safe side but it bounced back for some reason.

    I didn't win according to the email. It says that 1 in 67 is the probability of winning, which is quite a good. This time I am one of the 66 out of 67 who didn't win, sadly.

    Fed up waiting for Stafford Railway BS to raise the rate on Regular Saver Issue 1 (still available)  from 4.90%. There has been no increase to reflect the  base rate change on 4th August and nothing to indicate it is imminent. I've posted passbook today to withdraw bulk of funds. Leaving a small balance to maintain membership.

    Me! I've just received the email.

    Probably the first time I've ever won anything in my life.
    Well done!
