    £25 this month - better than nothing :)
  • Well performance on 5k has been pretty dismal lately.
    To cash them out is it a case of fill out a form at the post office?
  • If you have not signed up with NSI on line, then you have the option of filling out a form which you can get from the Post Office and sending it off to Ernie.
    If you sign up with NSI, you can sell (or buy) on line.

    My in-laws both have full amount in premium bonds. Up to 2008 they did really well winning £100 a month. Last few years their winnings are down to £25-50 a month, but very rarely does a month go by without something being won..

    That is because the rates since 2008 have been cut in the same way as interest rates in general.
    Remember the saying: if it looks too good to be true it almost certainly is.

    Only had a few quid in PB's up to now, and maybe "won" the odd £25 quid now and then, but when endowment came up the other month we decided to "max out".

    You don't get anything for the first couple of months, but I am confident that we will then "win" huge sums...as such I have already handed my notice and ordered an Aston M.

    Had 25K in since April, won £25 every month. Not great but thought I'd leave them in for a year just to see.

    @Stubod - I like your style.. I like to be optimistic about the future too.
    I got to full holding in august this year and only won in Oct since. Hoping things change next year. According to RBS if unemployment rate falls below 7% (which i'm confident will happen next year) then they will increase interest rates.. and when that happens i hope NS&I increase the PB interest rates too.. more wins for everybody.!!
