Premium bonds - weird coincidence

[vickster]

Bugger all again, that’s more than 6 months without a win.

if you have a decent chunk might be worth changing to a savings bond, there are year fixed at 2.25% intetest

I haven't won anything for a long time but I had to sell virtually all of my bonds to see me through to my state pension. (I only had 13 left in the end!) I am now buying 80 bonds a month so I would hope to win something in the next few years!

Can I assume you are still automatically notified if you win ??
I have had a paltry amount for over 15 years. Had a small win some 12 years ago

You need to check online /register for email notifications. They no longer just send cheques as far as I know

Our house did well this month.
3×£25 for me.
2x£25 for MrsP
And £25 for our son
Our daughter is the only one with nothing. She did get £500 last month though

 

[bikingdad90]

I got £500 about a year ago and think I’ve gone to the back of the pile as a result.

I just this minute received my text to let me know of my win this month, 5 days after I'd already checked the app and seen it

Same here, the money has yet to arrive in my Bank account.

Interesting article on MSE this week.

Much better turns on average elsewhere with savings rates rising steadily.

Imo NS&I take the proverbial with their low average returns rate.

Yep. You can even get 2.8% with a fixed term bond with Tesco now. I suppose it’s the hope that you may hit a big prize that encourages you to leave it though.

We've just dumped all ours this week as they have proved to be utterly hopeless. They will shortly reside in a 2 year FRB.
