The Top Regular Savers Discussion Thread
Comments

It's been 1 year since this version of the thread was launched
Today marks 1 year since Special_Saver2 handed this thread to me. There's been a few things happening since this version of the thread was launched:
- The Archived History Of Regular Savers Thread *** NO CHAT*** thread took on the function of being a no chat regular savers thread.
- In total 116 accounts were added to p1 of this thread, 124 were removed.
- The BOE Base Rate has been reduced 4 times, falling from 4.75% to 3.75%, lists of the interest rate cuts that came as a result of them were posted, links to them have been included on p1 of the archived thread.
- Thresholds for accounts to be included on p1 of this thread were reduced 3 times and increased once, overall falling from 4.75% or 4.5% where the account has favourable conditions to 4.4% or 4.2% where the account has favourable conditions. Thresholds are going to be decreased again next week, I'll do this as part of my Monthly Update on Wednesday.
- A recent additions section was added to p1 of the thread.
- The Regular Saver Timeline Spreadsheet was launched. There's been 3 lots of ``Regular Saver Snapshots" published, these ware added to the read only spreadsheet that was also launched this year.
- The opening posts of both this thread and the archived thread were also restructured at one point to break them up into clearer sections.
I'd like to take the opportunity to thank all those who have shared their knowledge, expertise and insight on this thread over the last 12 months and hope that the next year proves to be a prosperous one for each of you.

If so, can you see your Branch/Post edition online? I sent off an application form on the single day the online version was available which I managed to open by using my phone, but still haven't had my cheque cashed or received any correcpondance from Dudley about my postal application.1 -
