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!!!   

My winnings are due to be credited tomorrow, Tuesday 8th February 2022.

HSBC show future BACS credits in their upcoming transactions list 1 bank working day beforehand:

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

Thanks guys, that's all useful information.   

The Santander app doesn't show pending incoming payments...so hopefully it will arrive tomorrow.

So do their credits normally appear first thing, or can they appear randomly at any time of day?

I just checked and the majority of my winnings from last year were credited on either the 8th or 9th of the month so, based on my experience at least, you should expect to get it either tomorrow or Wednesday.

Bank holidays can put this back for a day or two (eg. May or January), with the latest payment being on the 11th of the month for me.

Provided you're happy that they have the correct bank details, then I wouldn't even think about ringing them until at least the end of the week.

BACS payments are usually first thing

Thanks all.


At least I know now that they definitely have the right bank details, even though I checked.
