    Had a letter with all the info on the choices and a form to fill in (Was quick to do online) for what you want to do with it.

    Maturity letter just arrived (e-mail notification) for 8th Sept maturity.  5.15% still on offer.  Pleased with that.
    I've got one ready on the 4th Sept and still no letter
    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.

    Check your spam folder, just in case it's there. However, I'd be logging on and checking the bond itself, choices should be open for you. I have one maturing on 4th Sept too and received email on 5th August.
    I'm just wondering what rate they will offer for the one due to mature on 20th Sept.

    Still 5.15% for 19th Sept :)

    I'm with @ToastLady on 20/9 so we'll find out very soon. Am leaving my larger 30/8 for another year and plan to do the same with the second maturity.

    I've got a couple of these bonds both maturing on 22 September. Fingers crossed that the renewal rate will still be offered at 5.15% later this week.

    Yes decision time? Our bonds mature early September and have been offered the 5.15% rate for another year. I need these funds to replenish a flexible cash ISA before April 6th 2025. We could take the funds from premium bonds but my wife really likes PB's and wants to keep hers in tact.

    As a basic rate tax payer I worked out that to compare savings interest rates and ISA interest rates I just multiply the savings interest rate by 1.25 to find the equivalent ISA rate? Trust I got this right?

    Yes, that's right.

    Unfortunately, that's not possible.
