Am I right in thinking you can have Skipton Regular & Skipton Member Regular?, as someone that no longer holds the member regular I'm thinking of getting both as overflow accounts. I'm sure I read you can't have the regular if you already have a member regular but can have member if you have regular.

Certainly worked for me back in July - open the non-member one first, then the member one.

They're quite useful as overflow accounts as any unused monthly allowance rolls over to the next month, so you could leave them with £1 for a few months then stick a lump sum in later. Only downside is that they don't allow withdrawals, but there's no loss of interest if you close early (confirmed from personal experience).

Correct. You just need to open them in the right order so that the more restrictive account is still "available" when you come to apply for it. You won't already hold a product from the range if you open that one first.

Opened the standard regular & funded it with £1, waiting for that to show up, then I guess all I need to do is open the Member version again & fund that.

I don't intend to fully fund either of these regular savers, as I said purely for overflow purposes, same as some other accounts I already have.

You don't even need to wait for the £1 to show up, I opened the Member's RS within a minute of opening the standard RS.

Also worth noting with Skipton that the account terms begin from the date of first deposit rather than date opened and you've 30 days to fund so you could push the maturity dates to late September 2026 if you wished.

Thanks dude, does Monmouthshire work in same/similar way or not?.

Thinking I might grab a 6% Monmouthshire.

Rollover is a good feature & closing early with no interest loss is also good

Monmouthshire's another one that begins the account term from the date of first deposit rather than date of application. Co-op and Gatehouse are the same off the top of my head.

Can someone please explain the concept of ''Rollover''?
My Santander Reg Saver Iss 19 is finishing its 12 months, though i have noted in my excel sheet ''Automatic rollover''. What exactly happens here?
