I'm very much the same as you, except I didn't take up Issue 37 @ 4.75. I've been fortunate enough to get 2 teachers RS to fill what would have been a June gap next year. Now looking at July, so might take up Principality Issue 38, if nothing above 5% becomes available.

Penrith 300 RS Maturity received

No decent options available for Penrith. Even the 200 and 300 accounts I'm currently pushing a very bare minimum to have mediocre interest rates.

Hopeful they decide to launch some decent RS at some near future point

Monmouthshire BS RS

Does anyone know if it's possible to renew the Monmouthshire BS Regular Saver Issue 8?

Still available bit you have to apply via the app. Not sure if it’s a maturity option on one that’s maturing - https://www.monbs.com/savings/regular-saver/

Do you mean close it an open a new one? If that's what you mean, then yes you can. I did it a couple of months ago

Close and re-open, yes. There isn't a renewal option.

Is this done manually or can it be done without human intervention? I don't want to draw attention to the fact the system glitched and allowed me to open 2 of the Exclusive regular saver issue 1s at 7%

Closure via online secure message - manually. I was in the same position with 2 issue 8's and was concerned because I decided to close both. There was no issue. I also hold both of the 7% exclusives. I reapplied for an Issue 8 @6% and the application got stuck in the App, so I tried again and both applications went through with 2 new accounts on the same day. At no point have I not been able to fund both either previously or once reopened and my 7%'s haven't been affected.

I requested closure yesterday for my two. You select the account, and you then see “Account closure” on the left side panel. From there, you can enter a closure date, and where you want the balance to be paid to. You need a linked account already registered if you want the money into an external account.

I selected closure tomorrow. Whether they process the closure manually or whether it’s happening by the system, I don’t know. I am not worried about having two of the same - they have let me open them, and fund both for the last 11 months so are not likely to pull me up on it.
