    I always use Option 4 - and that's what I believe most others use too. Put £200 into a new Regular Saver and the rest transfers to your current account, which you supply the details of when advising them of your maturity instructions 
    I have always used option 2 and the new RS retains the same acc number as the maturing one, which makes it easier for me for my future deposits.
  • Some people have recommended the wearing of an item of green clothing as it has resulted in successful opening of multiple iss 4 accounts........I'm not convinced it works but others support the idea !😁😁

    It's the same with option 4.

    The key point seems to be withdrawing remaining funds to an external account, rather than internally to another Principality account.
  • Option 2 for me as soon as its an option.

    If you don't have an issue 4 yet, open one now then use your maturity instructions to start a second!

    Use online maturity rather than postal as they'll hopefully be no human intervention!
    @ThePirates   I only have the current Issue 3 account which is due to mature on the 19th.
    Do you know when Issue 5 is out?  
    It says that I can only have one Issue 4 account, so should I just open a separate Issue 4 account now and hope that I can do another one with the Issue 3 maturity options via my online account?
    If so, which Option No. should I be going for?

    Has this worked for other people?
    Thanks :)
    As everyone else had said, yes it works, I have 2 Iss3 and 3 Iss4 at the moment!

    I always use option 2 - one less transaction for me to do.

    Thanks folks, maybe I should do a Poll on Option 2 v Option 4, ha ha.
    I have opened a new Issue 4 RS and will go via Option 2 for the 'maturing' Issue 3 RS.
    I will also try and apply for it over the weekend online, possibly after midnight as hinted on here.
    Oh, and just to be extra sure - I will wear my green camouflage jumper and maybe a tin foil hat :wink:

    Just had a 6 Month RS Issue 3 mature today into an Issue 4 (my fourth Issue 4), with a £200 rollover and the balance of £1027.33 (including interest of £27.33) going to an external account. 

    As with all previous maturities of (various issues of) the 6 Month RS, I have used Option 4 when entering maturity instructions, with balance always to an external (ie not Principality) account. So far, I have not had a maturity option rejected. 

    Account number for the new 6 Month RS has always stayed the same as the previous.

    This, since I fund via SO, then this means I carry on, since for my bank I'd have to delete and create a new payee (not onerous but as I would open a new one anyway its just less work).

    Hi, I just wondered at what stage the maturity options appear onlinbe? Mine matures quite soon, on 4 January. I have received a letter in the post about it, but do not yet see any options online when logged in to choose options 1 to 4.

    Do I have to submit a maturity enquiry under account services ("Your savings maturity enquiry
    "), or will there soon be a new option on the "Manage this account" dropdown box next to my account on the home page?

    EDIT. I am only given 3 options in the letter, not option 4 to put it into a new regular saver. I opened a regular saver issue 4 two days before they sent their letter - does this mean they know I already have one of that issue of saver now and are denying me option 4?
