    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. 
    Well done! Hopefully can pay for some more renovation stuff or new bits of furniture 😎
    Thanks. The timing was amazing as we were actually sat in the kitchen looking at the last few unplastered walls and feeling sorry for ourselves as the project has dragged on for so long and taken us over budget, and we were wondering where we weee going to find the money to actually furnish it. 

    That was when I checked the prize checker app!

  • I was interested to see that they still post a claim form for the bigger prizes even when you have a nominated bank account registered.

    They are obsessed with their inane forms

    Hi

    We hold two full amouts.
    Past year, 1.25% return, peanuts
    This month

    Me, 25, 50 ad 100. mrs Diy, 25, 25, 50 and 100 = 375

    Sounds great but over te or so years we held the amount and max amounts for about 5 years, dreadful returns.

    Thanks

    Interest rates have been very low until recently, so your returns from premium bonds held years ago would be very low, as would have returns from savings.
