Newcastle website just crashed, having rejected my password during application.

I opened a Newcastle Monument this morning. It doesn't show as an available account if you are logged in, so I logged out and registered as a new customer using the exact same email / password / 3 security questions etc as previously submitted, and it appeared in my Newcastle BS app within an hour. This month's payment in is already showing an hour or so after the account first appeared.

Going to have to dip in to my 5.5% RS's to fund higher interest ones next month.
My current 5.5's are RBS (max), Natwest (3k), Halifax, Progressive and recently opened Manchester.
Does it really matter which one i start with?

Start with NatWest and RBS, as they're really 5.37% (the 5.5% is the AER, not the gross) as the interest is paid monthly 

The NatWest is 5.5% as it isn't full and interest is compounding. Wouldn't RBS be a little above 5.5% provided the poster is drawing out the interest each month and paying it into an account paying more than 5.5%, or 5.5% if the interest goes into Manchester for example and earns 5.5% there?

I get that, but if money is going to begin to be removed, then it won't be compounding enough to reach 5.5%. If it was going to be left to reach £5k, then I would agree, but if the poster is looking at removing funds, and all else being equal, I would start with those that pay interest monthly, as the gross is lower.
There may be other variables to take into account, such as fixed rates, which tax year interest is going to be paid etc

Will probably have to raid all the 5.5's before end of the year. Currently have 18 RS's 6%+
Will start with Progressive as i can't have the 7% one

Progressive
Does that mean you cannot have the 7% Online RS as well as the 5.5% RS?
The Online RS T's&C's say:- "Only one Online Regular Rainy-Day Saver Account (any issue) can be held per person."

Yes you can only have one or the other. The 5.5% was also Online Regular Rainy Day Saver Account (i.e. it was Issue 3) and the 7% one is Issue 4.

Correct, and annoyingly the 5.5% one can't be closed to allow the 7% one to be opened.

Despite the Monument website crashing I have had an email telling me my account is open, so my final choice of password must have been acceptable.  No time to check online yet.

Turns out I now have a second login id. Maybe I used different security questions or nominated accounts as there is a message to validate 🙄

😈 does this open the door to a second account…..
