CAHOOTAmongst a bunch of dormant accounts, I have 2 Sunny Days, one opened September 2024 and one opened April 2025. Both on 5%. I could upgrade the September one, to hopefully run for 12 months from today. But the April one does not show in my list of accounts that can be upgraded. Strange. I suppose I can't win them all......I notice that the "Account opened" displayed stays as the original opening date, and the upgrade date is not visible. I hope they have properly recorded the upgrade date under the covers.0

I have upgraded mine and also opened a new Simple Saver.
Only one email received, that conforming the opening of the Simple Saver.
I hope Cahoot do not retract on the upgrades overnight now!1 -
Could it be because the April one is already issue 5?friolento said:CAHOOTAmongst a bunch of dormant accounts, I have 2 Sunny Days, one opened September 2024 and one opened April 2025. Both on 5%.

Just a heads up Principality will only let you have one of each Issue of their regular saver.BestSeagull said:
Well, this has cheered me right up after just being refused again for a second Principality 6 month RS 3!Bridlington1 said:With regards to Cahoot. Apologies if this feature has been there a while and I've just failed to notice it but I seem to have the option to upgrade an existing account as well as the option to apply for a new account.
This could be a useful one potentially for those wishing to ``refresh" the Sunny Day Saver as well as those who have maturing accounts they'd like to replace without having to set up new payees.
Additionally I've just had a bit of a play around with it and it's let me upgrade two old easy access accounts I hadn't got round to closing to sunny day savers so I've ended up with three sunny day saver issue 5s at 5%.
What a find. Thank you!

Yes, I know that's the case officially but several members here have been lucky enough not to be refused when choosing it as a maturity option. I, on the other hand, have been busted both times I've tried!Ch1ll1Phlakes said:
