Progressive Regular Savings Account

Hi all. Did anyone manage to successfully open one of these regular savers?. I filled in the application form but when they sent me a pass code they refused to let me access my account. I never deposited anything with them and after many times trying I abandoned the idea.

    Many people here have one - me included.  Progressive's processes are rather different to what many other organisations use, however the customer care staff are great and sort things out fairly quickly. I've phoned them twice and found them really helpful and professional.

    I opened a RS with Progressive. 
    Not sure what happened with your application, but customer care is, as Gers mentioned above, really good and the phone is answered promptly. 
    Give them a call.

    Just looking at the Progressive website and I can no longer see the 7% RS. I opened mine a wile back but has it been pulled?
    I choose the rooms that I live in with care,
    The windows are small and the walls almost bare,
    There's only one bed and there's only one prayer;
    I listen all night for your step on the stair.

    The interest rate is now 5%.  It's on the website under 'online savings' not 'regular savers'.
