Halifax and BoS RS

I renewed Halifax last week, and was just going to leave BoS as is, due to the 1 yr rule. However, seeing that people have managed to close and reapply, did it this morning via chat on app. Will wait until tomorrow to see if successful or not. Not the end of the world if it doesn't work.

EDITED to add

Old Monthly Saver gone this morning 21/7, opened and funded new one. Thanks to everyone for the tip to close through chat in app.

£170 max deposit is asking to be done, similar to Furness’s 160th, Tipton’s 125th and Melton Adcock (£150.)

Good to know hopefully it will launch soon if it becomes a reality.

Worked like a charm, thank you! The old account continued to show as "Regular Saver" until I had logged out and back in again.

Successfully opened all three 8% 'versions' now (Halifax, BoS and Lloyds).

We can but hope, trying to manifest it. It would be poor if Darlington didn't offer one given they went to the effort of emailing everyone about their 170th anniversary (which most of us will have been completely unaware of.) Their last competitive product is just coming up to maturity so it would be nice to get a replacement.

Tipton 125 now can be opened by post for existing customers or who fall into the post code restriction.

Just found out about the LBG 8% regulars, I'm wondering what they playing at tbh.

Halifax is dying yet they've launched a new version, I also cannot apply for this because they are insistent on sending activation codes by post yet fail to send me the codes, I recently had to change phones and Halifax is the only brand I currently cannot login to. Think I'm going to have to have a difficult call with them.

Lloyds, is probably the most confusing, BOTH the standard monthly AND Club Lloyds seem to be exactly the same regular saver now where as before they were different rates & different deposit limits. Also I already have the other Club Lloyds at 6.25% & only just started with that the other month, pretty sure I can't just ditch that & get the new 8%.

Bank Of Scotland seems to be the only 8% I can currently go for as I didn't already have their 5.5% or whatever.

Always been the case though however the accounts used to be different not exactly the same AND you used to be able hold both.

I'm hoping the Club Lloyds Monthly account is some massive mess up, because someone decided to just do a copy and paste job & forgot to edit the deposit amount or something 😏
