General Discussion and Whimsical Banter

subjecttocontract

Every week seems to be a savings week. There are some great new offers regularly advertised all year round. Over the last month or so we've had great offers from Monmouth, Darlington, Principality & Raisin and probably a few others. They didn't bother to wait for a savings week. There seems little point in them marketing a special week if there is nothing worthwhile to be offered.

Yes, Monmouthshire's been pretty bonkers: 7% regular savers are somewhat rare in themselves let alone allowing a 1000pm and a 500pm one to run simultaneously. Plus a £500pm 6% launched just a month earlier.

If they want to pay me 7% on up to £1.5k/mth they can go as nutty as they like so far as I'm concerned.

What was the Raisin one?

Raisin are offering a £125 bonus for existing customers who open an additional account with them and deposit £10K min'. It was discussed on the forum. It adds 1.25% resulting in a market leading annual return.

Fine for me (twice) using Chrome ... passcode and OTP ... and probably logged in about half a dozen times this morning.

Re the Monmouthshire Regular Saver Issue 8. What do they class as a "Month" for deposit purposes? is it a calander month, so you can deposit up to the max amount anytime in the month, or, does the month run from the date you opened the account to the same date the following month, ie 20th sept to 20th oct?

The former.
