    I keep a primitive spreadsheet listing bond numbers and their winnings.  Interesting to note that three of my £25 wins this month were actually on bonds I'd reinvested with previous £25 winners before NS&I stopped you reinvesting your winnings..

    There's a saying somewhere about Big fleas having little fleas...... !  Can't remember exactly how it goes but it's nice to see that such winnings have had their dividends!  I've yet to have the same bond number win more than one prize though!
    What do you mean when NS&I stopped you reinvesting winnings?

    @Primrose why do you think they have stopped reinvestment of winnings? Last months winnings went back in the draw not that it did any good £0 on £28k. 

    See if they push the prize fund up again after tomorrow probably be close to 1% behind easy access savings by next month if they don’t. 
    I haven't been told they've stopped you reinvesting your winnings, Is that just when you have the maximum holding?

    The websites says:

    Reinvested into more Bonds

    If you have less than the maximum invested then using your winnings to buy more Bonds can be a great way of boosting your chances of winning again. Choose this option and we’ll automatically reinvest the prize money for you. As a bonus, your new Bonds will be eligible to win prizes from the very next draw.

    Sorry to have given the wrong impression.  You can reinvest any Ernie winnings up to the maximum holding of £50K
