Premium Bond Winner ?

Primrose · 5 October 2020 at 2:08PM

I think the website is niot operating properly for instructing payments Into bank accounts. Two months ago both my husband and I instructed them via the website option, to pay any future winnings I to iur bank accounts as we are now fully invested. For two months we,ve both been lucky enough to Win £25 yet the paper warrants still keep coming Seems totally impossible to reach anybody by phone to sort it out. Wondering if most of the staff are still working from home?

@dabe1971: Do you have an NS&I Income Bond?

With £500 in it?

What are the trailing letters of the transaction description?

Bingo ! Of course, it's the "interest" on the NS&I bond. Makes perfect sense now as the transaction description ends 'NSIB'. I forgot they have to pay that into the nominated account don't they. I opened one just before they announced the interest slash. It's only got £500 in as I hadn't transferred my remaining Marcus balance yet, and I won't be now ! Thanks a lot for the suggestion & help everyone.

The only thing you need to explain is why you haven't clicked "Thanks". ...

Apologies. I did to Primrose and Blue Violet but clearly the one to yours didn't register. Now rectified.

Max £50,000 saving - Invested in August so was eligible for my first draw in October. I got the following:

2 x £25
1 x £500

Very happy with that start!

6x25 on my first draw on max, x2 25 on my other holding first draw as well. Lucky start.

How can you have two holdings of premium binds, or is this a batch held by a wife or partner?

ljayljay · 6 October 2020 at 9:45AM

Myself & wife have gradually increased holdings to £25k each over past 4 months. I received 3x£25 last month & a total of 6 wins = £175 overall. My wife feeling a bit left out with nothing for past 3 months & 1 win in total. But seems ok return compared to savings account, with a little bit of extra anticipation & excitement each month.
