£50 this month.  Lucky for NS&I as l would have pulled my money out otherwise.  Since they've massively reduced the £25 prizes it's a raw deal owning this product.  Yield is damn awful.

They've only reduced the £25 prizes by replacing them one-for-one with higher value prizes, i.e. the number of prizes is the same and the chances of winning a prize remain exactly as they have done since before the most recent few changes, at 24,500 to one per bond per month!

The fact that you've been less lucky since then isn't reflective of a general trend....

Edit: 24,500 correction, not 24,000!

Your historical yields are not that bad, considering how low historical savings rates have been for easy access accounts

My wife and I each had the full amount in PBs and have gradually been withdrawing to pay for a house renovation. Took the last £6000 out of my wife’s account this month but waited until after the draw date. 

Glad we did as I checked the app this afternoon. 

Two prizes. 

Prize 1 of 2: £25. 

Prize 2 of 2: £5,000.

Won just £25 on £10k over the last 12 months. Really feel like it’s time to take it out and put it into a savings account
