    I was about to fritter away a valuable stamp but thought I'd check my box of savings bumf first, and I've found a Melton freepost envelope (addressed to Oakham) that arrived with the opening of the RS Issue 6 paperwork. Not one for posting off incognito though as it has a massive colourful logo on the front.
    I had a spare application pack for Melton BS lying around so have now sent that off to apply for the Adcock RS and phoned them to get them to send me an application pack with prepaid envelope which shall replace the spare application pack I've just sent off.

    I've done this with a couple of building societies in the past so that I can send postal applications off quicker without having to pay for postage or print documents off.
    I couldn't find mine, so printed off and used a stamp. I will however, give Melton a call tomorrow and request an application pack and this time, I'll keep it somewhere obvious ;)
    There is a list of building society freepost addresses in the forum including this: Melton Mowbray BS
    Freepost
    Leicester Road
    Melton Mowbray
    Leicestershire
    LE13 0DB
    I'm pretty sure I used this successfully for their previous competitive offering
    Thanks! I'll keep a note of it for any future offers;) I was just happy to get the application off in the post ASAP
    Waiting for the New Principality 6 Month Saver Issue 3 @ 7.5% Fixed to become available in the next few hours ;)
    Interesting. Do you know if this will be available if you also have the issue 2 one?
    Principality allow you to have one of each issue of their regular savers
    I consider myself to be a male feminist. Is that allowed?

    I also use the Co-Op online banking website to fund the coop regular saver every month from the coop current account.

    First Direct / HSBC and TSB seem to be the 3 that I have which won't allow transfers from their own current account without a standing order (they might allow a transfer from another bank, I haven't tried).


    I pay in to my TSB RS every month by bank transfer from my Santander CA
    I pay in to my HSBC RS every month by an internal transfer from my HSBC CA

    If, like me, you had not got around to opening Principality Issue 2 yet, it's possible to apply for it by modifying the issue 3 link so the product code is 6083 rather than 6084.

    This will likely not last long.

    Good tip! Just opened our issue 2 ones as new customers. Can't open issue 3 ones yet as need to receive the activation codes.

    Since last month I have dropped down to £25 per month into the Stafford BS to free up funds and improve cash flow for the new better interest paying regular savers.
    Please can I ask for suggestions as to what other BS regular savers have now dropped so low I could just pay the minimum in now until maturity date comes around.

    Rather depends what your cut off is. Nottingham's Branch Regular Saver (down to 5.5%) and Mansfield's Bonus Regular saver (down to 5.6% inc bonus) have fallen below mine, as well as MonBS (a pretty mediocre 5.2% now, listed above).
