Anyone received their £15 National Book Token yet?

nope plus no £45 for closed refer a friend either, very hit and miss those that have been successful getting compensation. 

Keep on at them. They offered me £36 initially. But when I pointed out that they had agreed £45 to someone on MSE forum, they soon increased my offer to £45.

Were either of you eligible under the terms published (not intended)?

Because if so, I’d push for reopening and compensation personally - if the accounts were not closed in line with the ts and cs

Skipton Member Regular Saver

Could someone please remind me how you go about closing and re-opening this regular saver and how long it takes as I would like to open a new one asap? Can it be done online? Thanks

Request a withdrawl (via tansfer & payments) for the full amount in the RS & it will automatically say the account will be closed as it's below the minimum £1.Once the account has been closed, the funds will be sent to your requested bank & then you're able to open a new Member RS -  It's worked for me a couple of times without issue!

I closed mine in the app last time. Just go ``Transfer & Pay" and there should be an option to close the account. When I refreshed my last one I was able to close and reopen a new one the same day.

Had a Principality Issue 2 end today £1233.21 total balance, so £1200 deposit + £33.21 interest. £1033.21 to my nominated account & £200 into the now converted issue 2 which takes me up to my 3rd Issue 3😊

Same for me though had £1434.16 balance as made 13th payment.
No human intervention so an additional issue 3 opened.

But the old Skipton Member Regular Saver was a fixed rate. Now it tracks base rate there's no real advantage in closing it early and reopening.

Gives you a fresh 12 month term though. The account could be withdrawn at any point.

In my case issue 3 matured at the turn of last month so my issue 4 ended up getting opened on 2nd June. Refreshing on Monday allows me to push the maturity date on to the end of the same month, thus enabling me to earn a tad more interest than I would've done.
