Actually if the pirate steals your inventory you don't have to start from scratch - it is hidden in a pile in the maze.

It is easier, once a customer, but yes, initial registration was a looooooonnnnngggg process 🤦‍♂️

Over the years, I've been a Coventry BS customer six times with different accounts. When you close an account they discard all your details so you have to go through the entire process again.

It's a bit like when the Pirate appears in Colossal Cave and steals all the items you have collected. You have to start from scratch.

Exactly my experience!

I finally have access to my account after 17 days, numerous letters and three telephone calls.

You've opened the Cov ac and funded it. Leave the c.£100k in the NS&I until the Nov drop and see what happens in the mean time. Simples.
We haven't got crystal balls either.  

Gave me heart failure for a moment! I didn't write that I had 100K to invest (I would never be so gauche!) Then I realised you had mathematically worked out that when I wrote it would take me a week to move the funds... . I was only being flippant, not specific about the week!

Thank you, BTW, for the advice therein.

Looks like the Double Access Saver has now been pulled completely website shows closed on 21.10.20 to new investors.  (last edition was number 4 at 0.96%).  Now only showing an Easy Access Saver at 0.30%).

I have still got this account at 1.19%. How long do people think it will be before they reduce this? I keep expecting a letter or email. Is there a minimum time that a bank must keep it at the rate you initially took it out for?

I snook in before they withdrew the .96% rate. Think that was early November? Anyway, they suggested it would be at least April before they review the rate. And like others, found this the most complicated process to open an account. If I'd have known, I wouldn't have bothered!!!

I know. I remember moaning on the phone to them that other banks aren't so difficult to establish online access.
