Nottingham BS Branch Regular Saver 2 at 4.75% is now NLA.

I was momentarily miffed when I saw mention of the Coventry Loyalty Saver, having closed my easy access saver (opened in December) the previous day after getting fed up waiting for a new RS.  Thankfully my disappointment faded when I read that the rate was only 5.00%

Coventry LRS - Compared to the best one year fix at the moment of about 4.65%, 5% is better. I know that the 5% is variable and will probably drop at some time but if that happens you just close the account. It appears that you can miss payments, so you could just open with £100 deposit to have a slim chance of winning the draw and then leave it for a year.

I've lobbed £100 into a new Coventry Loyalty Regular Saver (3), purely to gain entry to the prize draw. Only has to sit there for less than two months with it being a one-off draw, and seems worth losing a minuscule amount of interest to be in with a chance. I was lucky just before Christmas in their Sunny Day Saver draw, so am hoping lighting may strike twice. Thanks to whoever first mentioned the Regular Saver (3) here. 

Going to do the same and probably close it as soon as the draw finishes. Even if they charge you the 30 days penalty, it's only 41p to withdraw the £100.

Definately worth a punt with the prize draw. It would be nice to hear from any MSE prize winners

I was fortunate to win £200 in the January draw. They credited the amount to my Sunny Day saver and it is still in there earning 6%.

Same, except my very welcome £200 win in the Coventry Sunny Day Saver draw was in December

Principality 6 month regular saver issue 1 maturity
I can confirm that my husband’s issue 1 matured today and it went through as requested, £200 into a new 6 month regular saver issue 3 (so he now has two issue 3’s) and the balance and interest sent to his nominated account at 9:10am this morning. Hopefully mine does the same in two weeks 🤞😊

Well 😅 you’d assume a member of staff might know what they are doing…. As I’ve always had good service from them in the past.

I’ve now gone back into the branch and showed them it’s still on the website and they have set it up for me….

Will have to make sure I have screen shots and stuff next time I go in so don’t have to go through all this again.
