    I have won £1300 in total this month, I reinvest but have now broken through the £50k threshold. Does anybody know what date the residual amount will be paid into my nominated bank account? Also I notice I have an account setup with the last 4 digits as 4808 but that is not account I hold, my wife has the same, i think this must be some default NS&I account? However it is misleading/confusing?
    I had this numerous times when I had the direct saver as a nominated account. You will get it paid by the 8th. If you already have a nominated external account available in the drop down list, you can change it right now and still make the payment cut off time without having to call them. Get on to it ASAP.
    So I assume it is OK to leave as is and will go to my direct saver account, even though the account number is different!!!
    It's just my opinion and not advice.

    NOOOOO. You need to change it to your nominated external account today or you will be in a world of pain with NS&I customer service.Trust me from my own experience, you'll be on the phone in a queue for hours and then they won't understand what you are telling them. Sort it now or you will regret it. If you change the nominated account to direct saver you may find that it resets to that NS&I strange account again overnight (there's a software bug they won't address) so I wouldn't risk it. There was another person on here who chased and chased and waited months to get it paid back to them when it went to that strange NS&I account, and that was when they answered the phones quickly.

    After a dodgy start to the year, £325 for me this month, 3 x £100 & 1 x £25 on £50k, 3.9% for the year.
    Just ahead of you at 4.2% for 2023 so far .

    £300 across the family on 3x max holding. Better than it has been of late...
  • £250 (2 x £100 and 2 x £25), coupled with £175 last month it’s been a good year so far. £35k holding
  • I'm on an APR of 1.65% so far this year on full holding. It's not going well! I'd have hoped four months was long enough to start averaging out towards 2.65%. Still only one £100 prize ever; it 'should' be one every other month.
