Yorkshire Building Society: imminent Christmas 2023 saver launch?

anna42hmr

glad i came across this thread, have opened one up now.  very smooth process so far, funded the first payment by debit card and will set up a standing order for the remainder of the monthly payments.   Had the email with the account details almost immediately so only thing i am waiting for is the online details which the application page said they will send in the post in the next few days so very quick application process.

Didn't find a clause to exclude those who already have a (Loyalty) Regular Saver. Do I miss it?

No, you didn't miss it. There is no clause.

Yes, I posted earlier today on the Regular Savings thread. Forgot about this one. 

I was going to open one today. Serves me right for delaying it.

I suppose you could pop an application form in the post now but date everything for 2 days ago so it looks like you did apply on time but was hit by a small postal delay. I did this for Mansfield BS recently and the account got opened alright.

Hmmm
thanks for the suggestion but as intended to apply online, I don’t have a copy of the application form

Thanks. Forgot about this potential way of getting a few extra days grace. I know someone that had the YBS loyalty regular saver printed form that did just this and YBS honoured it. It was only a few days late.
I myself do everything online and notice I received an email at 13.03pm on 25/1/23 confirming my applicaction was successful - now thats what I call close as the link was not valid the following day on the 26th!
I now have a problem with receiving a OTP linked to my mobile - will create a separate thread on this frustrating problem.

I've found the application form for the postal version in my search history. I'm afraid I couldn't upload it as a PDF so have had to convert it into 4 JPG images, which you will need to print. I hope this is of use to anyone who missed the account opening deadline.i

@Bridlington
Thanks for the above BUT looks like subterfuge isn’t necessary. The Christmas RS is back online so looks like it was a temporary withdrawal. 

I’ve probably created a bit of an issue for myself as my application will be as a new customer, so separate username etc, but I’ll face that if it happens. 

Just applied & message says successful. Customer number to follow by post. 

I’ll update RS thread

They originally launched it as two separate products but it appears they have now combined it into one product on their website, hence the temporary withdrawal. 

Oh well, at least the postal application form is on the forum for anyone who misses the next deadline.
