You can get much better (4 to 5%) in HL's Active Saver.

I think Nationwide do 8% for a regular saver. Are Club Lloyd's more typical of the rates for these?
Are regular savers worth it for most people? The interest on those are of course following a "triangular" shape (max input * interest / 2), so might not be as useful to people as one might immediately assume. (note: people get hooked by the larger-than-usual interest rate, not realising that most of the year they don't have much of their money inside the product, because there's a cap on how much per month you can put in)

Re: Club Lloyds
yes regular savers get a lot of headlines but very little attention given to the real earnings being about half the headline rate
they are however an excellent way of putting an amount away each month without feeling any pain
as...a bit like your PAYE...its gone before you see it!!
but its still yours!!

Re: Club Lloyds
I'm already well in breach of the £500 higher rate tax free interest allowance (although I've also never aggregated all my income sources up to know how close I am to falling into the additional tax rate bracket and getting 0 allowance on interest!).
However, looking at my files I have:
HSBC Regular Saver (£250/month max for 12 months) paying 5.00%
Santander Edge Regular Saver (£250/month max for 12 months) paying 5.00%
Lloyds Monthly Regular Saver (£250/month max for 12 months) paying 5.25%
Santander Edge Saver (max £4,000 balance) paying 7.00%
Chip (no max) paying 4.84%
I only opened an Edge account recently as Santander is where all my household bills go through and I worked out the cash back I'd get was greater than the monthly fee outside of any interest bearing accounts.
And lastly, not interest bearing from a tax man perspective:
Premium Bonds (max £50k) paying the average Joe 4.65%
I only set the regular savers up because I already had accounts with them. I'm not sure I'd be bothered to open an account elsewhere just for the interest rate especially given that I will be over £500 annual interest simply with the balance that sits in the Chip account so every interest rate is effectively halved due to my income tax position.
Mind you, that still puts it at a level marginally higher than my combined mortgage interest rate (and I can't pay off more each year on that than I already do without penalties) so better to save it up until each mortgage falls out of its fixed rate over the next 3/4 years.
