Got an email about Saffron members month, it's back in June so hopefully a new regular saver?

When I phoned them earlier in the month they confirmed that members month was returning in June and that there were rumours of a Members Month RS due to be launched in June but no details confirmed yet.

Saffron Members’ Month

Not sure it’ll be better than ever… can’t imagine there will be an RS beating their 2023 9% offering any time soon.

Re FD reg saver, Applied for new one on the 9th, old one matured and paid on the 10th.

New one opened today, not to bad as a weekend was in the middle.

How did you apply for a new one on 9th when the old had not yet matured until 10th?
App sure won't allow me, says I already have one open and can't apply for another until current one is closed, and even says this could take an extra 5 days...

One thing I did or as such did not do, was to leave the old account FD savings opened to deposit the maturing RS into last year.

I found it strange that it let me, on the 9th the RS vanished as usual.

So I though lets give it a try. It worked, a few pages back others have tried but not given any updates.

Went through fine, Called Monday to see what was going on, and to give them a poke to hurry up.

I was informed that the old one had paid out but was still open.

When it is closed the new one should open.

I hope you get a new one open soon.

Could it be that your old one actually matured on 9th (rather than 10th) and at that point applying for a new one is permitted?

I also did the same thing with FD. My RS was maturing on the 11th (Sunday). It disappeared from my account on Saturday and I was able to apply for a new RS on Saturday. Funds were paid into an existing easy access savings account with FD yesterday. I am still waiting for the new RS to open - expecting it to do so tomorrow or the day after.
