I guess you are answering to the Q 'If YES why YES? :)

I was answering to the question do you have any RS paying less than 5%.
Explaining why I had them seemed more useful/insightful for others to read than simply saying yes.

RS Funding Strategy
"I also play the 0% credit card game as well, so have 0% debt matching what I've got in regular savers"
That's what I do, too.1 -
I didn't (and can't) see @francoghezzi's original (copied below) comment to which @surreysaver responded. I've just trawled through circa four pages gong back to the 7th of February and still can't see the original comment. Very odd.
When I recently posted a comment on Darlington rs on here I was asked to move it to another thread in defo not a kind way. Anything to say regarding the last posts by whoever thinks to be in charge? Are we still discussing Rs or this happens only when there is a Principality offer so as to inundate this thread with hundreds of useless comments?0 -

Darlington's interest error being fixed shortly turned out to take two working weeks, before they then made another correction on 30th January. A separate thread arose due to some posters wishing to share how much interest had been added and how much they had paid into their accounts. This did mean we worked out what Darlington had done - paying interest to 31st December 2026 instead - but others felt it was not relevant as it matters only that the position of your account is corrected. Forum staff would intervene if they felt someone had been spoken to rudely, but if you delete your post quickly because you don't like the response then that removes potential evidence.
People have sometimes had more than they should out of Principality - the former 'loophole' posts - while Darlington didn't even resolve the issue before announcing a rate cut and had to make a further adjustment later after apparently fixing the issue. Green shirt didn't interest me as I never had more accounts than permitted, but naturally that was going to recur now and again when people had maturities. Due to that we know it now appears to be no more; Darlington's issues spanned a whole month.
Naturally Principality crop up here regularly (for one thing their 6 month offering means it is being replaced more often) and they have a consistent record of offering table topping or near table topping accounts. Darlington's current offering is sub 5% so is naturally not going to be inundated - I suspect most posters haven't gone any lower than 5.5% if that.

clairec666Posts:1,052ForumiteAnyway, back on topic. If anyone's using moneyfactscompare, be aware that their listing for Zopa's regular saver is inaccurate, implying it's a 12 month account rather than 6 month.
Alternatively p1 of this thread has reflected Zopa's new 6 month term for the last few days.

Club Lloyds is 6.25% not 6.5%, Nationwide & Virgin are 6.5%
