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

Still seems to be showing as available at my end but it has now moved to the maturity accounts section and the option to make an application through conventional means has been removed.

Principality BS Christmas 2026 Regular Saver

I'll move the account to the Local/Loyal/Beta/Age Restricted/New Member Only accounts section for the time being as from what I can see existing customers with maturing accounts can still select it as a maturity instruction. When it goes fully NLA I'll remove it entirely at that point.

Okay, that makes some sense. It's unfortunate that as you can only hold one PBS Christmas 2026 RS as per T&C's, it's not a maturity option unless you haven't already got one.

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 ?

Please can you confirm what an "EA position" is.

Many thanks in anticipation.

Usually refers to easy access accounts.

Thanks.

I too have 2  and would have had 3, if the loophole hadn't been closed 2 days before an early January PBS maturing account. Now I can't be bothered -  If I have more than one of any issue of account, I don't bother to select another account of the same issue I already hold in maturity options as with other MSE members experiences, it's have been accepted and promptly rejected.

Yes, l also tried to apply for a sneaky extra PBS account in my case a second 6-month RS but got rejected. 
I've learned my lesson so definitely not going to draw attention  to myself from Principality, until my crimbo accounts  have all  matured.

Seems enough time has elapsed that I sneaked my 2 Xmas RS while the loophole had closed with a 1st Jan maturity RS3 instruction. Likely just got lucky in Trixmas volume with everyone off.
