Open the Edge current account. Deposit a nominal amount. Do not set up DDs and do not pay in the monthly requirement. 

I did this and have had the Edge saver for two years now. First year paying 7%, second year paying 6%.

Current account hasn't been used since the initial £10 deposit.

I've done the same, and so has my husband. As we also have a joint 123 account we are allowed 2 Edge savers each, so currently have £16K between us earning 6%. I've just closed and reopened a new Edge saver that was due to lower the interest rate next month.

You can also have two Edge current accounts as an individual and therefore two Edge savers. I have this, albeit one of them is fee-paying as the cashback from household bill DDs exceeds the fee by a few £.

You can put in more than the monthly payment and still not be charged the fee just don't have the DD
