Strange PBZ Credit SOLVED

tarekac said:I received a £25 credit this morning, but:
1. the draw is tomorrow (4th June)
2. I only have £100 in bonds
3. It usually takes 3-4 days to receive the prize
4. The account is to auto-invest
Must be a !!!!!!-up!
It takes them around 8 days to pay prizes, so prizes for May would have been received on 9th May.
What reference is on your bank statement for the £25? Does it say Pbz at the end?0 -
I too have had £25 paid in to my account on 3 June and assumed they had somehow already paid me for the June draw but, having just checked, I've won a whopping £275 this month. I won £25 in May and that was paid to me on 9 May. Wonder if they've paid everyone £25 on 3 June by mistake!!0

NS&I do re-award some prizes if the original winners were ineligible to receive the prize for some reason (i.e they died 12+ months before the draw) - so sometimes there are additional payouts to reserve bond numbers at some point later.
I don't know if there's a set interval for this happening, but the one I personally encountered was paid by paper warrant in April for a draw the previous October - not mine, but to my late aunt's estate I was executing. I know that others in the PB thread have reported late 'out of the blue' receipts in this manner.
If you keep a record of your wins and the bond numbers, you might be able to trace back where an additional amount has been added in your PB account at NS&I.0 -
I have also just noticed a £25 credit in my account today (ref: NsPbz) but I know that I won a total of £225 this month (2 x £100 and 1 x £25) but these are showing as pending payments not yet credited. Seems like I have been credit with a random extra £25! Not complaining obviously. Just for info, on £16k worth of premium bonds, I have won £1,450 so far this year which I'm quite happy with.0

I’ve won £50 this month. Had it paid into my account 10/6 then received a further £25 on the 20th. No idea why.0
