    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 lightning may strike twice. Thanks to whoever first mentioned the Regular Saver (3) here. 
    Where are the details of the prize draw? Are any other accounts covered?

    In the product's terms and conditions. And no, it's specific to this product

    I have a Principality 1 Year triple access due to mature on May 4th. I had a letter to say it will automatically be transferred into an e saver earning 2.90% on maturity. I had a look online but there does not seem to be an option to give maturity instructions. Instead I went to the message section where there is an option for maturity instructions by message. I asked for £200 into a 6 month saver issue 3 and the rest to be sent back via the linked account. Probably the answer is no but I thought I would ask anyway - still waiting for a reply 

    Otherwise I will just close and withdraw towards the end of May when I need to fund next months reg savers.

    As a result of realising that in April 2026 I had no regular savers maturing a few weeks ago I went through the Principality savings selection and found 2 different ones for OH and myself that we didnt have so that issue is partly solved. 
    But I am quite liking the 6 month savers - easier than figuring out what I will need in a years time.

    There are no options on that saver. Their staff can't do much to it either.
    You got interest on the 01/01/25, you will not get anymore even when it matures.
    As when it moves over to easy access it keeps the 01/01/26 as next interest payment.
    So you need to call and get them to close the account, This gets your cash, plus the extra interest.

    You don't need to call them to close the account. You can close it online.
    I consider myself to be a male feminist. Is that allowed?

    That's a creative idea, worth trying.  It would be interesting to know if it worked.
    I just went for morphing into 2.9%, closed the account and opened a new 1Year Triple.
