    How have people managed after saying already registered and logging in with existing customer number? When I then select the Invest in NI option in sidebar, it says I have to logout to do so. If I try the Deposit option, it offers just my existing Premium Bonds. If I start again and say I'm not registered, it eventually comes back with a "This NI number already in use" message.

    After 2 hours and an application that crashed I give up.
    Take my advice at your peril.

    Somehow I don't think they'll be selling out today. :rotfl: :rotfl:

    And lower agro way for a couple to save £40k at a decent rate of interest with full government backing is ... ?
    Yes but £10k in each bond, ie £20k per person.

    gadgetmind said £40K per couple.
  • Hi,

    calm down folks, this was announced in the 2014 budget, is waiting another day going to make a big difference, it's got to be held for at least a year, and anybody putting in £10,000, gets 61p a day nett.

    Chill :cool:.

    I wonder how many people have had £10,000 or even £20,000 sitting in a current account earning nothing during January just waiting for the implementation day to be announced?

    It accepts my customer No and name and goes to next page, then accepts password digits but no next box to click.

    scroll down; depending on your display options it may be off the page
    The questions that get the best answers are the questions that give most detail....
  • This is a joke, have been trying both phoneline and website since they were announced.

  • Does anyone have contact details for the appropriate ombudsman to report this (state-sponsored) scam?
    frugalmacdugal says "it's got to be held for at least a year" but, if it's any good it will quickly sell-out, probably to retired bankers.
