    Just received a letter from Coventry BS, I am one of fifty people to win 1000 pounds in the Coventry BS Loyalty Regular Saver (3) prize draw, happy days, anyone else?
    I did as well!
    Are there any other banks who do this sort of thing?
    Coventry also had "Sunny Day Saver" from Oct 2024 so hoping out for another £500 on that

    Kent Reliance have a monthly draw for £1,000 - you just need to have at least £100 in savings or £1,000 in a mortgage account with them.

    Find myself idly wondering how the odds on that compare with the odds on premium bonds.

    Ditto, complete news to me, no recollection of any mention from them of that over the years.

    Dudley Loyalty Regular Saver
    Have just spoken to Customer Services at Dudley BS as I opened my account last night but funds didn’t get credited until this morning. She has confirmed that as long as the account was opened on or before 17th July whether funded or not then you are eligible for the Loyalty RS.
    A bit annoying that it is branch or post but I think it’s worth applying for as it is for £500 pm.
    Just rang CS and was told that it had to be funded by 17th July so no point them sending me an application form!  Oh well!

    Learn from the mistakes of others - you won't live long enough to make them all yourself.

    the wayback machine says August 2023 - tbf, I had no clue about it either until I saw it mentioned when applying for a new account (or their newer system) last week.

    Please can I ask a question regarding Leek regular saver.
    Is there a minimum amount that you can add to your account each month - I've got the page open and it states £500 maximum but I cant see a minimum unless its buried somewhere ...
    I am thinking of dropping my standing order to the minimum now the interest rate is down to 4.35% - I did the same with Stafford BS regular savers a few months back, now down to £25 a month.
    For the time being I am not going to close the Leek regular savers  (OH and I both have one) as they will be useful to fund the other regular savers standing orders in months when nothing else has matured so cash flow is dire - (same with Stafford, kept open for now) 

    In the meantime I am going to restart Leeds regular savers which at least are 4.70% for now and last 2 years.

    No minimum monthly deposit exists for the Leek BS RS and you can miss as many payments as you wish.
