The standing order will be sent on the next working day.

The account month with First Direct's regular saver starts on the monthlyversary of when the account was opened, as opposed to the first of the month with most other regular savers

Coventry Sunny Day Saver (2) prize draw

On this definitely most sunny of days (33C in the east of England), I've had an email from Coventry to let me know that apparently I've won £500 in this month's prize draw! I've only ever paid in the bare minimum each month to qualify for the draw, so this is a great return on my savings 😁

…if not the greatest! Thank you for sharing, that keeps me in the 'Hope' area too :)

Well done you!

It's not very MSE to pay for things upfront, but if a windfall (eg Nationwide Fairer Share or a PB win or the old Halifax Reward monthly payments) comes my way I always pay the money, or at least some of it, into my energy account (Octopus) keeping a credit balance there. In the last couple of years, this has meant that my gas/electricity monthly DD has never needed to be more than £5. It's a good feeling psychologically.

Anyone hoping for a new regular saver offer from Saffron for members' month should be aware that they are moving members' month to September this year.

Apologies if someone else has posted this but I just got an email from Saffron saying their members month has been moved from June to September - so any new members month regular saver (if there is one this year) won't be launched until September.

I expect they are giving their poor staff a break over the summer after processing all those transfers into their 4.5% cash isa product!!

Someone posted an hour before yours in the post directly above. It's also been mentioned in other posts

My thought was that the Saffron Members’ Month move is probably intended to align better with UK Savings Week (21-27 Sep this year). Will be interesting to see what sort of RS this year brings.

But with notifications (still) not working properly it's probably easier to miss.

My Skipton RS is due to Mature on June 1st, I want to renew it before that to be able to get a first payment in for May. Due to the deposits on non working days not counted, I would need to do it by tomorrow.

If I remember correctly from earlier in the thread, it is straight forward to renew it via the app with no delay, can someone kindly confirm? or does it take longer and I should just leave it mature?
