Out of interest, how many people on here utilise 0% credit cards to support their regular saver.... habit like I do. 

I'm sure there's plenty of us. Borrow money at a low rate; save it at a high rate 

There's a very good chance I spent one of my months at Uni with a £2.5k 0% overdraft with Nationwide maxed out and a Flex RS and Start to Save Issue 2 with a combined balance of £2.5k.

Yes, but only recently, as I was brought up with the mindset that credit card = bad.
I can now use them safe in the knowledge that I have the savings to cover paying them off.

The ``RS drought" has ended:

Nottingham BS Branch Regular Saver Issue 5 and Nottingham BS Online Regular Saver Issue 2 at 4.75% have gone NLA. These have been replaced by Nottingham BS Branch Regular Saver Issue 6 and Nottingham BS Online Regular Saver Issue 3 at 4.25% but with maturity dates of 31/1/27.

Leeds BS Regular Saver (Issue 70) at 4.7% to go NLA. To be replaced by Issue 71 with a new maturity date of 1/12/27.

I shall update p1 of this thread to reflect the above later today.

The drought continues for me, because these rates are too low for me to want them.

MHBS money received into my current account at 9.32am

MHBS have paid me £3414.38 today, guessing £1 has been used to keep membership with an Easy Access as instructed.

I can now start to fund my remaining regulars & check my Principality from yesterday and my MHBS account today.

Things seem ok with my Principality accounts, can't fund 2 of them though as already maxed out which does mean of course we get to play the can we get another issue 4 game TWICE this month 😁.

So I've just requested option 2, have £1000 + interest to Virgin & £200 into a "new" issue 4 (converted issue 3) for my account ending on 10th December.

Next up will be an account ending on 28th December 🙃

HEBS Card Deposit - ?Store your card details?

When just doing a card deposit to my HEBS RS account, I noticed there is an option I don't recall seeing before 'Express Checkout - Checkout With Card'.  I had a quick look but only at the first screen as I wanted to complete all the 1st of month transfers.  I just wondered if anyone has used this and could comment on what it is, how it worked for them and if they have any concerns. I think it is some sort of way to store your card details but using a third party, which I don't think I'm comfortable with.  However, it could potentially speed up the fastest way of sending money to HEBS.

Thanks @Bridlington for the new accounts notification. Just been able to add another two, so lets hope the calm has passed and a storm is beginning.
