Arggh. I'm going round the houses trying to open a new Club Lloyds monthly saver. My existing one matured today into a Standard Saver. I can't seem to find the option anywhere to open a new monthly saver account. Is it because it's matured today?

I think you may have to wait until the day after maturity to open a new one. Their systems don't show you accounts which you are not allowed to open, and the system updates overnight.

Ah the rates on newly launched RS are low

To be fair, the top 9 were added as a result of me lowering the thresholds for inclusion on p1 of this thread so that'll've skewed the figures somewhat.

I renewed one this week (converted it into an Easy Access) and opened a new Club RS immediately. Maybe needed a logout/login in between? 

Lloyds
That's the recipe for "refreshing".  If the RS has matured you should be able to open a new one without any additional steps.  I refreshed Club once, any other time it was a straight forward process.

Think I’ll be giving the YBS 5% variable a miss. I currently have a monthly RS outlay of £3,850 with the lowest rate being 6%. As they mature i will open/fund the 5.25%-5.75% regular savers that are currently on offer (e.g. Skipton, Halifax, Lloyds etc).

Still have Santander Edge at 6% and 3x Cahoot Sunny Day Savers at 5% also.

I'll wait for the 20th but if you are desperate, you can send your Furness application by post, apparently 

Hopefully the information Furness gave the poster re: accepting online applications from the 20th is accurate, as the download application form button sends you in a loop rather than giving you a form.

I had also been on the phone to them, and they told me that I can post the application form or that I can wait until the 20th, when it will go online provided it hasn't sold out by then. I am going to take the risk and wait.

Sounds like they've got a limit on the total number of accounts. If there hasn't been a massive take-up before the 20th, then I imagine there will be a bit of a rush once online applications open. How soon it takes for them to pull the account remains to be seen, depends whether they have an in-built counter or whether it has to be removed manually from the website.

Assuming the website doesn't crash!

Looks as though they are prepping for this new edition

Any rate above the rate of inflation is good. There will be plenty going for YBS @5% including myself.

I just get "Invalid path was requested" using desktop.
Worked OK earlier as I opened an X-mas eSaver OK.

I have all of them so not really in need of 5% RSs, but still opened YBS 5%. I might need it at some point, you never know.  It took about 3 minutes to open and make £1 deposit.  I wouldn't have bothered if the opening required any more effort than this.  It's a healthy addition to my £1 accounts collection, most of them pay significantly lower rates
