anybody know what
"ZYRSA012: Device print script results are mandatory"
means on the NS&I website while trying to buy these bonds?

Yup! It refers to the crappy state of the NSandI website :mad: In plain English it means the browser you are using is incompatible with their website. In my case it was both Chrome and Safari on an Apple Mac. I used Chrome on my wife's Windows PC and got in straight away.

Unable to get through on the phone and web site I eventually managed to download an application form which I dully completed and sent in as a dual application for my wife and myself for the maximum amount in both bonds. Having had no response I phoned NS&I and managed to get through after some time to enquire what happened to the applications I was told to use the online application as it was quicker. This I did and supplied debit card details. today I received two cheques in the post amounting to 40,000.00 with no explanation. I telephoned NS&I to ask why and no one could give an explanation. My on line application has been processed and paperwork is being sent out. I am at a total loss as to why they have opened my bonds and sent me two cheques amounting to 40,000.00. Enquiries are on going at present. All I can say is their system is a total mess.

That's a nice bonus. I hope you thanked them!

Has anybody who bought bonds via telephone without registering received an NS&I number by post yet and, if so, how many days after the email confirming your application was successful, did the letter arrive?

I applied by post 2 weeks ago on Monday and have heard nothing and the money is still in my current account.

I have just printed screen shots of our bonds on the ns&i site. Just in case we don`t receive the official paperwork and something to have on file in case of any incident of us both being in eg a car accident. I suddenly wondered how many of these bonds might not be claimed due to one reason or another

I opened two bonds in joint names with my wife on 15th Jan. She had an NS&I number from an old account but I didn't, so we used her account. The 1-year bond went through OK, but the 3-year one 'failed' at the verified by Visa point. As the money for this was reserved I did nothing more.


Early last week both bonds showed up on her account. Last Friday we both got letters giving us our NS&I numbers even though my wife already had one. We can both logon now. Also on Saturday we got the full welcome pack for the 3-year bond, but not yet for the 1-year bond which I expect to arrive shortly. At least we can both see everything online now.

Good idea. I'm a belt and braces person too because I've experienced enough of major bank or governmental computer schemes to mistrust them for 100% security and safety and even though I've signed up to manage my premium bonds online I still keep paper copies of everything. I applied for pensioner bonds on January 16th, had an email confirmation and returned the signature letter but the bonds are still not showing on the website.

I have sight of my bond on the website but still cant work out how to add the premium bonds I have had from 30 years ago

She sold me 10k bond, no problem. AMAZED !!

Had to use my security details though. Plus she asked where I got her number (Say no to 0870)

The 01253... number has been used by too many of us - when I tried it on Saturday the automated answer was "Please redial on our usual 0500... number"
