    I noticed today that the Post Office has just withdrawn the option to apply for thier 1, 2 and 3 year growth bonds (Growth Bond Issue 11 ) online.
    I applied online yesterday so I wonder what will happen?
    Has anyone else had a result in a similar situation?

    Looks like they've given a few days grace.

    Thanks for the update glider3560
    I phoned them this morning and you can still open a growth bond (issue 11) by going into a branch. I'm off down to my local PO with a cheque!

    According to the post office website the Growth Bond Issue 12 is no longer available online.
    I'm sure this was paying 3% for a minimum £500 investment.

    Don't make old people mad. We don't like being old in the first place, so it doesn't take much to p*** us off.
