How can it be the same account if there are different paying in limits (yet to be confirmed)? That would imply that existing 7% accounts would be £500 per month also...

I am dubious about that figure.. ..but we won't have to wait long to know..

I guess if they can change the APR they can change other parts of the Ts&Cs as well. As you say, should know on Monday

But am I allowed to close my existing one and would they accept me for the new one?

"Halifax Regular Saver
Although you cannot make withdrawals from your Halifax Regular Saver, if you do need access to your money you can close your account at any time. If you close we will pay interest up to the date of closure at the rate for the Halifax Web Saver (no card) account." - so there might be a way out.

note the above refers to the existing 7% account.

Isn't it an 0845 number? That's local rate, not premium rate.

When you have a tariff that gives you free minutes on geographical numbers, any charge on a 0845 number is at a premium rate.

Existing accounts will not change as they are fixed. if you wish to close your existing one, that is up to you, but it will close at the websaver rate

new regular saver accounts opened during that time will defo be £500 per month Milarky

Well I know as well, I have asked at 2 different branches and both have given the same answer, £500/month max deposit @ 10% plus 2% bonus with conditions.

It still has to be proved in writing but I am happy to believe the members of staff that I have spoken to.

As this bit from post #26 .. in response to your earlier similar question :-

Equally ..... do you not realise some of the contributors to this thread work within Halifax?

more details ...

- offer period is June 9th to July 20th (must roll over an existing account or open new account and make initial deposit by July 20th).
- £500 pcm max confirmed
- 10% confirmed
- extra 2% if you also keep at least £5k in your nominated account (this can be a Guaranteed Saver Reward that will offer 6.25% fixed for 1yr, and you have a further 14 days to fund it)
- no other catches that I can see

Don't suppose you've got any details on the payment options ?

Basically is this one of those accounts you can open on the 30th June and pay in £500, and then on 1st July setup the standing order to pay in £500 on the 1st of every subsequent month, effectively getting an extra £500 at 10%?

Hope it is, although I'll probably need to close my current HxRS wich was only opened on 28th May!

Cheers,
