Looks like there is now no difference between the Club and the ordinary RS (funding limit on the Club has been dropped). May well be that there is now just the Club?

Funding limit on the CL RS is?

Which is odd, because that makes it identical to the standard one. It would make sense if both could be held simultaneously, but apparently that’s no longer the case.

So now there's no benefit to having Club Lloyds Monthly Saver over "ordinary" Lloyds - previously we were treated to a higher interest rate AND a much higher deposit. Can't see the point in them having two separate accounts which are (as far as I can see) identical.
EDIT:
Looking closely at the two account pages, you can't hold both the club / non club versions at the same time, you can't open a Club Lloyds Monthly Saver if you've opened a Club Lloyds Monthly Saver in the last 12 months, and you can't open a Monthly Saver if you've opened a Monthly Saver in the last 12 months.
Which could mean that, if like me you've only got the Club version, you can close that and still be eligible for the non-club one? Not sure if I want to risk it…

It's going to depend how far into the existing CL RS term you are, isn't it?

Club Lloyds 8% Regular Saver
Please can you confirm that this morning you renewed what was your existing Club Lloyds Regular Saver into an easy access saver and that you subsequently then successfully opened a Club Lloyds 8% Regular Saver?
The reason for asking is that the above would appear to be against the rules of the Club Lloyds 8% Regular Saver.
Many thanks in anticipation.

I only had only the CL RS, renewed to easy access, and was then able to open a new CL RS. Haven't been able to open both the CL and non-CL versions. Monthly deposit is reduced to £250 from £400 so overall interest is reduced (~£128 @ 8% vs ~£161 @ 6.25%) but YMMV depending on how far through your term you are and where you drip feed it from.

As above, yes. This is exactly what I did.

Club Lloyds RS
£400 saved a month at 6.25% gives £161 interest after 12 months
£250 saved a month at 8% gives £128 interest after 12 months.
Not worth downgrading an existing CL RS to open the new version (even assuming that you can). And figures don't take into account what you have already saved in your RS
