Can I use my CC to buy Premium Bonds?

Lisa46

Just got a new credit card with 0% purchases and wonder if I can buy Premium Bonds with it. I know i'ts debit card only on the NS & I site but can I buy them with a CC at the Post Office? Thanks in advance!

Not sure but I think it would be classed as a cash purchase so you would be charged a fee and probably interest.

I believe CCs 0 % is only for the purchase of Goods, you really need to read your terms and condition.

I don't know if the Post Office still sell premium bonds, but even if they do, they only accept credit cards for their own products (like postage) - so the answerr is no.

last i checked, the Post Office certainly did sell Premium Bonds, but no...cannot buy on a Credit Card. if they did i would be buying them several times a year, bagging thousands in cashback, and having the chance of a win:beer:

I had an e-mail a few days ago, the Post Office are stopping cash purchase of premium bonds but will still sell them.

what does that mean, that they will no longer accept cash over the counter for them?

Yes, you will not be able to use cash to buy premium bonds in a Post Office (cannot remember when this starts)
