I feel like it shouldn’t be possible to hold both accounts - members and refer a friend, as it might not be in the ‘spirit of the promo’, but who knows 👀

I think you are over-thinking the value of these accounts, £50 a month each, even at their elevated interest rates, is hardly over-generous.

I've just opened a Newcastle RS Issue 1 as a new customer. Sent across £200, is that likely to be credited today into May? Just wondering if I can send another £200 tomorrow.

Usually takes an hour or so. Not sure about weekend.

New account from Saffron! 

Refer a Friend regular saver 8%

£50 month / max £600.

Must complete a 'survey' providing the name of another Saffron customer who has 'referred' you (otherwise they say they will close your account down!)

I don’t understand this one - is it basically new customers only?

Saffron
No, existing customers can apply (I just did & account opened), however you must be referred by an existing Saffron member. You must complete the friends details (panel on RHS of web page) before applying. If your spouse has an existing account, you can both refer each other.

Yes, Newcastle credits at weekends, so you are ok for another £200 tomorrow.  You should receive e-mail from Newcastle confirming your deposit in about 1 hour after sending it.

Specifically it has to be a Members Month saver the referrer has. 

I presume this year's Members Month saver when it shows up will have a clause preventing you from having both, the intention being you can have one or the other. Whether the terms actually prevent this remains to be seen, as does how well they enforce it.

I'm waiting until Monday before I attempt it.
