Got this email from Santander just a while ago at 9:00 PM tonight. I opened the account and fully funded it with initial £200 over a week ago. It took them all this time to send this and still claim the account is not even fully set up? 🤣😂

Principality

As it stands now, there's nothing on RS side worth opening, never mind multiples. I still have 2 6Ms and 2 Christmases running, have £1 in issue 38 and the same in Bonus-5-Access. Since the loophole was properly closed my list of Principality accounts has significantly shrank. I hope they will come up with some competitive products again, in the past they always had something on offer… in any case, I think the "multiples" time is now over😀

Yes I was referring to thefrank's comparison of Zopa's new 6-month disappointment with the titillating Principality offerings of the past.

Neither institutions current offerings would tempt me, even if I was looking for new RS to open.

Darlington issue 2

I now realised I was looking at issue 1, I don't have a copy of issue 2. Looks like it is worth trying 13th payment.

I had a similar one yesterday, bit odd.

Dudley Loyalty Regular Saver 3 (not sure why the hyperlink says 2)

Emailed my application form this morning (as an existing customer).

Logged on tonight and could see the new account in my online banking, so tried a payment into it (which didn't pass CoP but that's normal for these types of BS "your account number is the reference" accounts). Note shown up yet but hopefully tomorrow!

Edit: and it has!

Santander Regular Saver

Can anyone tell me how long this takes to open please? Took over a week to close the one I had, applied for new one yesterday and not showing as yet.

When I opened a new one a couple of days ago it was virtually instant, certainly within the hour.

Thank you, that's what I thought. If it's not there in the next few hours I will try again. Don't seem to be having luck with closing and opening Santander accounts over the past couple of weeks.
