NS&I Guaranteed Growth Bond

I notice that the above offers a 30 day cooling-off period. I also notice that if you do cool-off you receive full interest on top of capital. This is interesting as it could be used as a 30 day vehicle (if you so wished) paying 6.2% AER, which is better than any other monthly guaranteed return available?

    They also offer income bonds if you want monthly.

    If  two separate or more guaranteed income bonds were held how would the interest be paid to your nominated account as one or more separate payments? Just trying to find a way of getting money into this account with a limited transfer on debit card

    Switch to online statements, job done?
    I choose the rooms that I live in with care,
    The windows are small and the walls almost bare,
    There's only one bed and there's only one prayer;
    I listen all night for your step on the stair.

    Do you know how many days the money would be in transit earning zero interest once you withdraw it? Don’t believe there are any lost days on way in as interest starts on day of debit card payment I think.
