Saffron Member's Month Regular Saver

It looks like a new issue of the Members Month Regular Saver is being added to their website, though currently hidden:

https://www.saffronbs.co.uk/savings/regular-savings-accounts/members-month-loyalty-saver

When I checked on Friday this instead led to a 'page not found' error message.

I've managed to apply via online banking. I do have an existing MM RS which will mature on Tuesday 3rd June.

This comes up as not authorised to view when I click on it.

Yes, same "though currently hidden". I assume they'll make it live at some point next week.

I've applied via online account and sent a £50 test payment just to see what happens.

I never thought of this. Thank you! New MM RS is now opened and showing alongside the old one.

Mine successfully matured into a new Members’ Month. I decided not to chance the Refer A Friend on the basis they would then have the right to close the account and take 2 years worth of longevity on that account with it.

What would give them the right to do such a thing?

EDIT - sorry I see, if you changed to a refer-a-friend that account can be closed if the form isn't filled in. I guess this is a good reason to have just a minimally funded easy access for long term membership reasons.

Nationwide have announced some interest rate cuts effective 1/7, but the Flex Regular Saver appears to have survived unscathed

In addition it seems their Flex RS Issue 4 was pulled and replaced by Issue 5 at the same rate on 2nd May. Ts&Cs appear to be the same though. I shall update the first page of this thread accordingly.

Good luck because you not supposed to have 2 members month at the same time.

I’m a bit confused why they would bother changing the issue number if the terms and rate are identical….
