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

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).
