Anyone still have these?
Mine is near maturity in a few days time. Looking at the amount of interest generated i'm not sure i'm going to renew. The option of early 'cash in early' is gone. Considering this is where i was storing some of my emergency money, it's no longer any use for me.
Just wondering what others might have done?

    Similar questions have been asked previously.
    The majority of the answers are that they will be kept and not cashed in.

    However they are totally unsuitable for emergency money, and I doubt very many people ever used them for that purpose.

    Inflation is likely to be going UP, UP, UP! (IMHO of course)

    I will be keeping mine but will be reducing the term from 5 years to 3 or even 1 due to losing the ability to cash them in early. They are unique, index linked and tax free and I also think higher inflation is the new normal
