It was for me. No chance of losing my cash by transferring to the wrong account. Bought £50K and it was in my PB account immediately as I recallEdit: Just to add, the DC gets around any daily transfer limits your bank may set1

That depends on the bank, I have done 20k on a card in the past I think. Once you go past 20k some banks don't like it.Sea_Shell said:Is the best* way to buy PBs to use a debit card?

It would be Santander. Issues?How's it going, AKA, Nutwatch? - 12 month spends to date = 2.60% of current retirement "pot" (as at end May 2025)0 -

We've done 2x£20k into our ISAs before with no problem, but never all in one transaction.How's it going, AKA, Nutwatch? - 12 month spends to date = 2.60% of current retirement "pot" (as at end May 2025)0 -
£25 for me this month and the wife won £125 (5x£125), both on full holdings. She has had a good start as only had them for 3 draws and won £75, £50 and now £1250

£25 on £10k holdingsCan anyone point me in the right direction please to work out the rate of return - I'm thinking some sort of XIRR formula but I'm out of practice!0

Easy enough to work out in your head or with a calculator. If you work on a 12 month period, on your holding of £10k, if you win £100 in that period your rate of return is 1%. If your only win is that £25 in that period your rate of return is 0.25%0
