Regular Savings Accounts Article Discussion

A heads-up for anyone looking for the thread on the Coventry BS Regular Saver account. It's here:

Missing from the list on the site, Santander are paying 3.00% on their regular saver. I think you need to have a 123 account, but that beats all the others on the site from what I can see.

For all your RS chit chat.
Let's make SS2 fantastic job, each week on their thread, a little easier eh?5 -
You'll need to define chit chat. And you've hundreds, possibly thousands, of anonymous members to maintain some sort of control over, which won't be easy. Personally I check those threads two or three times a day and to get the extremely (to me) useful info about Monmouthshire, Virgin store 16 and the new Virgin online 16, Furness, Nottingham, etc well worth the extra seconds reading or passing over posts about RSs that I don't have or have chosen not to have.2

The change to the new forum (with lack of the ability to create subtitles) means that it's even more difficult to identify what product forumites are discussing. For that reason a dedicated thread or clearly defined entry on here if members want to discuss the merits of putting stamps on envelopes etc might make the efforts of SS2 less onurous - especially in these times of lots of flux.
Anyway - doubt many care that much.2 -
Talking about Monmouthshire: I received a passbook today, and a letter saying my Saver Plus - which I had applied for on April 6 - was now open. I had managed to deposit £1,000 on April 16th by bank transfer. I don't know whether they thought I wasn't in any hurry as I had already made my opening deposit or whether this is their normal processing time at present. It is, however, clear that the Monmouthshire 'online' application process involves
- returning your signature on a form they post to you, even if they already do have your signature on file for other accounts
- Monmouthshire processing your signature form and manually opening your account for deposits
Pleased to have this account open now, though.

If it's your first account with them this whole process also includes having to wait for your online access code (and includes getting a booklet for almost every account on sale).1

This is just about the self serving attitude that frequently comes across on here.
I.e. who cares how much extra work SS2 has to do to extract new accounts and changes.
I give up too...2 -
It would be useful to know SS's attitude to this, he's the important person you are concerned about on his behalf. If anybody is accustomed to wading through and discarding then surely he is!
Anyway your proposal has got off to a modest start, though it does mean that I now have an additional thread to check.0
