@ Bob2000 - None of us can complain really based on the hoards of extra Principality RS we may have & shouldn't have had as per Principalities T&C's. I've already got 2 x 2026 Christmas RS and 4 x 6 month (Issue 4) RS. However, as Principality continue to offer these and others as maturity options, then the rejections will continue, but it seems not for everyoneBob2000 said:
Yup, it happened to me yesterday. Asked for my healthy habits to be converted into another Xmas RS (on the 20th), would have been my 3rd.Dizzycap said:
@ nomorekids - I hope all goes through and it isn't reversed. Others have had their maturity instructions honored only to find their new if successful account (same account number) is closed a day or two later and funds returned. I really hope this isn't the case for younomorekids said:So sorry @dizzycap for your rejection too by principality, christmas present to me this morning from principality who seem to have honoured my maturity instructions and now have another Reg Saver 4. Nationwide wont let me log on to check to balance less £200 transferred but from Principality transaction history it looks like it has. I'll post update over next few days if this is reversed. Fingered crossed maturity date of 25th means I can keep it.
So far, they haven't noticed my cheeky extra one.
Merry Christmas to everyone.
I've also got a Healthy Habits maturing on the 10th January but won't hold my breath on being able to obtain another CRS or 6MthRS. Still, the funds will come in useful for funding other RS in February, so can't complain

I suspect the recent maturity renewals will be dealt with when normal service resumes, depending who does it (branch staff or head office) and how they're dealing with Christmas that could be anywhere between this Saturday and epiphany.
Hope not, obviously, but I'd be mindful of counting your chickens until a few working days in January have passed!5
