Double surprise today the wife had a £50 warrant waiting for her when she got home. We didn’t think she had any. 30 minutes of passwords, dead relatives middle names, how long she’s had a current account with Nationwide we get into the account, £620 held. 👍

That's smashing, thanks for reporting it.  I can see when the PBs will increase (I doubt that 0.15% will trouble me too much - I'm not even close to 3% as it is) but it doesn't mention in any of the news reports I've seen, when the Income Bonds and Direct Saver rates increase - is it from today?

All good for me - my PB and IB gains go into my holiday fund - so 0.3% more from IBs is enough to make me really sick on my holibobs from too much ice cream.

Mil won £25000 in 2014. They were old bonds, not sure how much she had in there at that point.

Congratulations to the person who won £100,000 on a £500 holding!

Yes, hope it changes their life in a positive way.  I can remember the time as a child when winning £75,000 on the pools would literally set you up for life.   Now winning £100,000 won't even pay off most peoples' mortgages.  Thankfully inflation is not yet so high it won,t pay for a decent meal out to go and celebrate!

Where do you see the February results?  I thought the results were not available until tomorrow - 2nd February.  Thanks.
