    oh right ok i was going to re-invest tonight im not to bothered about the time it took to enter the draw when i go to there website and click invest it asks me for my bond numbers i have not got them yet so can i buy more with out the numbers??



    You should already know your holders number - its on the certificate they would have sent you with the bonds you purchased on 4th Dec...

    That is what the website is wanting to know - but seriously, make the purchase towards the end of the month - your money is making you interest right now, but wont be if you buy the bonds too early...

    Feb is the shortest month, so buy towards end of Jan...then the bonds will take part in the March draw...

    If you have asked for winnings to be reinvested then you will just receive your bond certificate - if not then you will get a cheque and a bond certificate.

    Suggest you get in touch with them pronto, and find out whats going on...

    Normally you get a certificate sent via the post after a few weeks and probably a welcome pack of some kind - been a while since I was a new customer to them!

    Yes it is - you can set up a direct debit and it will all be done automagically every month - you can also elect to have your winnings re invested and you wont have to wait the statutory month either :cool:

    £50 for me this month. That's £850 since 1st June on 21k, not bad I don't think. (Just finding my calculator - just over 4% not brilliant but as good as current bank rate).

    I'm using mine as a short term holding store till my fixed rate mortgage finishes this year, and also for some other home improvements that I'm still planning.
