Premium Bond Winner ?

longman27

£25 on £10000 since February. Good luck to anyone trying to sign into the NS&I site. No chance but I was able to get the phone app and that showed my winnings.

1.5% gross (1.510% AER!) over the last four draws.  Wish it was RPI.. (RIP.. )

My very first deposit was £100 June 2018, my first draw in Aug 2018 I won £500. Was mega welcome as I was in a car accident a month later and I could use the 500 towards a new car deposit.
I've got around 5.5k saved now and had a couple of £25s over the last 4 years so it's about £675 altogether I've won now. But nothing won for around 1.5 years  
Its a long slog when you've had the buzz of a few wins and get nothing else! Though I realise compared to some I've been very lucky!

If you won £500 in your first qualifying month from just £100-worth of bonds, you should have quit there and then as it's unlikely to get any better than that !

Seriously though - if you consider these as important savings and don't necessarily need the tax-free element of the prizes, then I would have a think about whether Premium Bonds are the best option for your money these days, especially when you can earn around 2% in an easy access account at the moment or 3.3%+ by fixing for a year or more. While either of those are a long way off inflation, they're a big improvement on the 0% you've gotten over the past 1.5 years.

To those that get winnings in to their bank accounts, has everyone had their money paid today?  Looks like mine has been, but OH's hasn't.  First time it hasn't been there first thing.

My September winnings (2 x £25) were deposited this morning into my Santander current account by Bank Giro Credit. 🙂

Slightly strange for me, I won 3 prizes but only 2 showing in my bank account today - so maybe there are some delays.

Hmmm, perhaps I can't assume the ones we got are in fact mine then...

The website says to contact them if not received by/after the 7th working day, so we'll sit tight for a bit

Thanks

Just FYI, our missing amounts came through last night. Hopefully yours resolved too.
