    I suppose it's the utmost cheek opening the Issue 4 by application now, and then expecting it to be one of the choices when I get word about my existing 6 month account's maturity in two weeks time. Or ensuring it anyway by opening it today and seeing what happens. You never know with Principality.
    Not showing on the home page yet though.
    Just aim to get 1 by applying asap, anything more (via maturity) is a bonus 
    Good philosophy when playing the regular saver game. You win some, you lose some. The secret is to keep playing the game
    It is a game & 1 I'm never 100% on but I hope I'm doing the right kind of moves

    Think I'm done opening new accounts for now, apart from the new Principality 6 Month Issue 4 😆
    Hmmm.... I said the same thing at the end of July, and somehow have ended up with a Darlington, two Monmouthshires, and very soon a new Principality  :D:D:D
    Ha Ha . I guess you are not the only one.

    Principality BS 6 Month Regular Saver (Issue 3) at 7.5% to go NLA within hours.

    Replaced by Issue 4 at the same rate.
    Nice on Principality - I was expecting them to cut the rate. I'm assuming it's still fixed rate? Moneyfactscompare doesn't say, and Principality's website is still showing the issue 3.
    It's fixed, I opened and fully funded it shortly after midnight and this shows in online banking

    Hi

    Do you have a direct link please? I'm still getting issue 3 showing when I try to apply and an application is refused

    Thanks

    So I have 2 of the issue 3(!). Am I also allowed to open an issue 4 then?

    Bridlington is very good at this black art, I think we need to chill a little. I'm sure the account will show very soon on the website and we can all open it in an orderly manner.
    I choose the rooms that I live in with care,
    The windows are small and the walls almost bare,
    There's only one bed and there's only one prayer;
    I listen all night for your step on the stair.

    When the website will likely crash!
    I consider myself to be a male feminist. Is that allowed?

    Bilmey! Just when I think it's gone quiet! I wonder if the more cautious environment re interest rate cuts has led to a change of approach. All this before savings week too!
