  • I can join the club, won my first £25.  I think my average ROI is about 0.8%.

    Another £25 this month (first win for a few months now).

    We finally had a £25 win, our first!!

    We've opted to have it paid into our bank.  How long does this usually take?   

    They say that if the prize has not appeared in your account by the 7th working day of the month then to call them.


    So that'll be by this Wednesday then - 9th.   Is it only winnings that take this long to be credited?   (still not there this morning)
    What about withdrawals, if you sell bonds?   We've never sold any before.

    Has everyone else had their winnings paid out now?    Anyone else still waiting?

    I'd rather not have to call them, as I've heard that their CS isn't crack hot!!    Plus it would be DH that would have to ring (they're his bonds) and he has even less patience than I do!!!  :D 
    How's it going, AKA, Nutwatch? - 12 month spends to date = 3.24% of current retirement "pot" (as at end December 2025)

    Withdrawals are paid by BACS, you get paid in 2 working days AIRI as long as you request by 8pm or something like that. They've been paid on that timescale whenever I've withdrawn.
    Don't know about wins as we reinvest our wins.

    I heard you can get your money back faster from premium bonds if you withdraw them to an NSandI direct saver account and then withdraw from there
