i want to cash in some premium bonds, but want to hold them for January’s draw. 

What would be the earliest date in January that I can notify NS&I to sell them?

I would personally wait until after the drawer results have been announced, and you've confirmed you haven't won anything on the bonds you want to cash in. Though others may know of an actual date cut-off

When cashing in bonds, there is an option to cash in the bonds after the next draw. Though I have never used this option, I will probably try it out for the January draw.

Thank you, i have used that facility and NS&I informed me thst the funds will be in my account by the 7th January.

I'm sure you can request cash before draw takes place and state that you want the money after the next draw is done. So you will still have them bond's in the draw. And you may get your money a little quicker after the draw takes place.

Didn't win a penny in 2024.

Me neither.  But then again, my holding was reduced to £25 for most of it

Looking at the Jan big winners

£10k on a £175 holding / £5 bond purchased Feb 63

£10K on a £15 holding / £10 bond purchased Mar 65

£10K on a £20 holding / £3 bond purchased Jan 70

£1M on a Nov 24 purchase

No mill for me this month again, that's over 12 months I've missed it now.

One of the £1million winners only bought their bond in Nov 2024 - so this must be their first draw and they won a cool million?   Jammy git.

My husband and I chucked £100k into premium bonds last month and got nothing yesterday. Very annoyed!! The plan is to shovel it into ISAs over the next 3 years, but there is a little bit of me thinking/hoping I will win at some point. I shall follow this thread avidly to remind me that it won't be the case!!!!

When you say last month, due you mean October? Any bonds bought in November would not have been eligible for the December draw. 

I meant to pop back on and update actually. We got £200 (2x£100). Or at least he did. I'm hoping for something myself tomorrow....
