    175 this month and that brings my %age to 1.44 so far. Ok I suppose as is tax free
  • After 13 straight months of wins nothing for me this month, I've averaged 1.2% over a year. Before the draw I'd decided on the back of the prize pool drop that if I didn't win anything in the July draw that I would come out of the premium bonds, try my luck elsewhere.

    £100 this month on £40k, seriously lagging behind on returns this year, if it doesn't at least match saving accounts then I'll be pulling out.

    Don't forget it's tax free. You need to find at leat 1.25% to better your current return. Don't forget you can only earn £1,000 int tax free if you're a standard rate tax payer and £500 if higher rate

    Recently invested in these, I've been in for 4 months now with circa £6k and now £10k. Last month I won £25, this month nothing!

    Still, miles better than the £1.81 interest it would have been otherwise.

    More like £25-£40 per month actually, depending where you saved it. So you are well down already.
