I’ve done it as soon as I discovered Cahoot’s upgrade facility.

I know I'm pushing my luck on this one but I have an old Cahoot sunny now at 4.75% and a newer one at 5% what's the chances of upgrading the 4.75% account via the magic button?

I’ve upgraded four 4.75%s to 5%s, so the chances are high.

Well nobody likes a good laugh more than I do. Well except my wife and some of her friends. And Captain Johnson. Come to think of it most people like a good laugh more than I do, but that's beside the point.

Sorry.... and now for something completely different.......

Requested closure via online form of the regular saver (the form that was mentioned many pages ago), provided account details in the form for the regular saver. Followed up a day later via online chat just in case to make sure the reg saver is getting closed. 

Received an email "Sorry to see you go", checked my app and instead of the regular saver they closed my current account. Reg saver still not closed, still waiting for the interest to be transferred to the current account (that is now closed). 

Just raised a complaint. Totally unacceptable. 

Screenshots not allowed in the app, transcript only available by post on paper if chat has happened via app. Requested a postal copy now. 

Exactlly the same happened to me. They put it down to the "huge" numbers that opened that RS (c.37000 apparently) and then wanted it closed

Did you also complain and if so, did you get compensation and how much did they pay and did they reopen the current account for you?

I had email acknowledgment of my complaint yesterday evening (10pm) and that they will email with an update within 5 working days.

I opened and credited the account yesterday bit still hasn't appeared as of today.

EDIT - It arrived in the account today 11/08/2025

I'm currently doing about 200 to 300 £1.01 debit card transactions per week from RBS/Natwest into my Skipton savings account to get regular saver round ups. So my question is, should I be expecting the Skipton Building Society inquisition any day soon?

Yes, it has been reported here in the past that Skipton have contacted customers for a lot fewer debit card payments per month - let alone a week! 

As a sidenote (not directed to @s@s71hj) and I suspect this will be unpopular with some but imho this thread recently seems to have taken a turn for the worse.

It has always been used to promote new RS accounts and URLs etc. but I get the sense that recently there has been a lot more about openly "abusing" accounts and boasting about it - not just sharing workarounds.

This kind of behaviour is going to lead - for instance - that those savings providers who accept debit card payments to withdraw the facility from all customers as it does have a cost for them to provide and/or someone like NatWest pulling roundups from being used to increase the balance on their regular saver, impacting all customers negatively.

Of course, I am not feeling well ATM so could just be particularly grumpy..
