Me neither. #sulking0 -
I used to subscribe to every list going hoping I'd hear about new products first... the reality is if you read this thread even a couple of times a week you'll probably see it here long before marketing goes out!4

@s71hj, Here's hoping!s71hj said:
Presumably it could show Monday onwards with an opening date that is in fact an August date?BestSeagull said:
I'm in a similar position. If they give me the account at all, I'll consider it a huge win!Hattie627 said:
Excellent luck. I posted mine on Wed am (in time for uplift later that day at 6pm) but with second class stamp. Nothing showing on the app yet to suggest account open. Looks like I have missed out on August. Oh well, some you win, some you loseChaykin said:I have posted an application form and, although hesitant originally, also a cheque for £500.00 to MonBS head office in Newport (~200 miles by road from where I live) for their Branch Exclusive Regular Saver at around 6:00 PM on Wednesday night via 1st Class using a postbox with last collection at 7:00 PM. The account appeared on their app today at around 11:00 AM with a balance of £0.00. When I checked the app later in the day - around 6:30 PM - the £500.00 is now showing as in with a description "Cheque Receipt". Happy days! Impressed at the speed.Another £500.00 going in on Monday via bank transfer.

So my Principality RS issue 3 maturity instructions now show online. The RS 4 is an option, which is wasn't on the letter I received. It feels like the jury is out on here whether timing or random chance dictates whether /how to get such a request through successfully when you already have an RS 4
I'm wondering if today as a non working day followed by a busy Monday morning would. be worth a try. Thoughts?1 -
You know, I was wondering myself (after putting it down to luck originally), if timing has anything to do with it. I thought about submitting a last minute request as perhaps then it would be too late to deny? And it's probably just coincidence but I noticed that both of my rejection messages arrived on a Tuesday.s71hj said:So my Principality RS issue 3 maturity instructions now show online.

My issue 3 matures on the 13th Sept. I don’t currently have an issue 4. I will probably give maturity instructions today to get the issue 4. I will ghen give it a couple of days and apply for another issue 4, as my account will not show of me having an active issue 4.s71hj said:So my Principality RS issue 3 maturity instructions now show online.

Do Principality care when you add the £ each month? Just see it mention calendar month.. was wondering whether they make you wait a month between0
