Principality Regular Saver Bond Issue 36 and other fixed rate issues

As my EA position has changed, the Issue 36 rate at 4.85%A is now below my threshold. The conditions state no withdrawals during the term. Closure is possible, but I don't want to lose a maturing renewable account. So question is, has anyone been able to withdraw all bar the minimum balance from one of these ?  And if so, how ?

The only way to withdraw funds is to close the account.

Sorry if already mentioned: The Principality BS Christmas RS is NLA.

In the meantime can any of the soothsayers forecast when we might expect a shiny new Principality 6 month saver issue 5 - letters arrived today to say I have 2 more issue 3s maturing on the 2nd of February but I am going to hold off putting in maturity instructions until the final hour justincase.
But cancel the SOs, assuming the worse as we are already 3/4 the way through January 

If Principality follows the pattern we might see issue 5 sometime in February, but you never know, they could also stop launching new issues of this product.  
I've recently tried another cheeky maturity instruction and received a "secure message".  I didn't think my instruction will succeed but thought I'll try just in case.

Was just wondering myself if we might see an Issue 5 soon...

Maybe call a branch and ask nicely, then share the results here, whatever they may be.  Sometimes you get lucky...

Whenever I've tried this in the past the branch staff haven't known about the accounts until the day of launch, even the day before an account's been launched.

Can I ask how quickly did you receive the 'secure message' from putting in your request please.

Did anyone, as a new customer, actually read the Terms and Conditions when setting up the Digital Account?

I’d be tempted to try another device/browser with that.

Furness funding sent yesterday is now showing in the app, so it appears to show more quickly if it is sent on a working day.
