Premium bonds - weird coincidence

[Once a Wheeler]

Possible of course, but unlikely enough to arouse serious suspicions. Have a good root around to see if you may have a few thousand forgotten premium bonds somewhere. So long as you have your Bond Holder's number, the easiest way to do that is to set up an online account — maybe an unexpected hoard of bonds will suddenly appear. You can then cash them in and close the account if you want to. I think there is also a lost bond service but the online account is likely to be quickest.

(I haven't won this time, but I was trying to check when I last won.)

I tend to use the app now to check results, and it has a quick view of the last 6 months 'winnings'

Am I doing this right?

I've just been on the blower with a query, but the operators are saying they can't answer because the system has crashed.

Sight of this thread reminded me I was going to buy some more, but I found that I have two different holder numbers. One is on a card with my name and address on it, and the other card has me named as the bond holder, along with my fathers name and address. I assume that the latter was taken out when I was too young to hold them myself, so the operator told me to register a web/phone account using the other 'adult' one. When I did that, I got the details of just one £2 bond taken out 20 months before I was born!?!?

Anyhow, they're telling me to call back tomorrow when the system is back up and running.

25 squids this month

I've never had a win in 63 years, but then, my total holding is the princely sum of £16.

I know someone with the maximum holding who won nothing this month and nothing last month, they are not happy.

The anticipated payout is 1% per annum, no monthly guarantee.
Easy enough to cash them in and invest elsewhere though
