    Saffron BS Refer a Friend Saver

    Have opened and funded.
     
    Has anyone seen sight of, or have details of, the referee process?

    It's all on the website: https://www.saffronbs.co.uk/MM_Refer_a_Friend_Saver

    Unfortunately 'the right' is only accurate if you view on a window large enough to render two columns. On mobiles it's at the bottom.

    The survey link is here:

    Saffron BS Refer a Friend Saver

    "You'll need to complete the Refer a Friend survey (to the right of this page), as well as applying for your account. If you do not complete the survey, your account will be closed." The referrer must hold a Members Month Loyalty Saver.

    Ah, that's why I couldn't see the link. Thanks for that.

    Now off to "somewhere else" to find a willing referee for swapsies.

    I don't think you can open one if you already have a savings account with Saffron

    Survey - Refer a Friend Saver

    1. Are you an existing customer of Saffron? (If yes - you are not eligible for the Refer a Friend Saver).

    The question now just reads "Are you an existing customer of Saffron?".

    I can open the "survey" form but I'm not seeing that text (even if I click "yes"). Where are you seeing it please?

    EDIT : Found the prohibition in the Product Summary
    • You must be a new customer to Saffron to open the account.
    There's an obvious question, if I am NOT a member of Saffon and I open the Refer a Friend account, can I then answer "No" to being a member?

    Should I therefore (as a non-member) always fill in the "survey" prior to any account application?

    Actually I've been a member of Saffron for some years so this is moot.

    Virgin 10% regular saver - maturing soon

    looks like they are sending an email next month that will say it is going into an everyday saver at 2.23%, wonder why there won’t be any other maturity options? Was hoping for another good rate

    Survey - Refer a Friend Saver

    1. Are you an existing customer of Saffron? (If yes - you are not eligible for the Refer a Friend Saver).

    That question wasn't there on Saturday when I filled the form in. It seems they've realised they've left the gates open...
    That statement was visible when I clicked on the above survey link, but it has disappeared now.

    The below appears on the refer a friend saver account application though

    Welcome to Saffron! You're here because your friend referred you. On this page you'll find the information you need to open your new account. Remember to complete the Refer a Friend form too (to the right of this page). If you do not complete the form, your account will be closed.

    • Apply - online
    • Manage - online, mobile app, branch, post, phone, webchat

    Please Note - You must be a new customer to Saffron to open the account. This account can be withdrawn from sale at any time without notice.

    Natwest/RBS Digital Regular Saver

    I think this was discussed on this thread at some point, but I don't know how to search within a thread (would be grateful if someone could show me as I only seem to be able to search the whole message board).

    I've needed to dip in to take a few hundred pounds from my RBS saver to cover a couple of expenses, but I'll have that money back in a few days time when my Principality Issue 2 matures - did someone say that they had been able to replace funds within the same month that they had withdrawn, and there was no issue with that?  

    Thanks in advance for any help.
    Yes, I have done with the NatWest one, as recent as May. Just make sure you replace the funds in June
