    The prize checker 'app' was updated on 2nd October this month. I think they are trying to get the information out quicker lately.
    In a previous life, I used to work there, when they were at St Annes on Sea. In those days, of course, everything was done by snail mail.

    It must cost premium bonds a fortune to send out all of those winning checks to everyone. . Surely it wouldn't be too difficult for them to put everyone's prize in the same envelope if they have won more than one prize in the draw, they would save themselves millions of pounds a year.

    Get the winnings paid direct into your bank account.
    Your money is in your account around the 8th day of the month.....if you are a winner of course.
    P.S.
    Whats a 'check' ??
    :D

    My second 4x£25 this month (on old max holdings). This has only happened once before and in the same year! Haven't checked which bond(s) it was on...

    Thanks

    £25 on £25K. That makes £375 for the last 6 months.

    1x£25 on £40K holding for me this month.
    Since the start of this year I have had 15 x £25 (£375) - slightly behind average return so far but will wait and see what Nov & Dec bring.

    Perhaps the numbers on the bonds were not necessarily in the right order. 😀
