I know we've had the Easter holidays but have you had your winnings credited to your nominated account yet? I'm still waiting for mine

That doesn't sound good. Should be in there by now. I'd get on to them ASAP.

If no show by tomorrow morning then I'll give them a call.  Thanks

Phoned and was informed because I'd changed my nominated account on 28th March which was near to the draw day, NS&I sent out payment to old account and it was rejected and returned.  Wins will be sent again within 5 working days once admin has sorted🙂

I'd like to buy 25k of premium bonds so I can qualify for the June draw. 

How long does it take to process an order? Instantly? Should I purchase now or ok to wait until April 30th?

Thanks.

I use my debit card when I buy PB's (logged into my NS&I account) and it shows the date of the transaction as date of investment - so I would say yes that is instant.

No need to buy them now.

When buying PB's I always wait until the last day of the month (only day I have not tried it is on a BH), even if it does fall on a Sunday, the transaction has always gone through - on the transaction receipt the purchase date is shown as the date of investment, i.e. the last day of the month.

As Ifts says, last day of the month is ok - although I would check that your bank allows a £25k debit card purchase, mine doesn't (capped at £10k per day). So I had to chunk my purchases up over a couple of days.

Are you already registered on their site ? If you are not then there may well be a delay as they may well send you out a pass code in the post  (if they still do this?). 

Otherwise you can buy them over the phone with a debit card, they say this can be done every day apart from bank holidays, so you should be able to buy them on Sunday 30th.

If there is a particular advantage to leaving it late then I personally try to go a few days ahead to allow for things going wrong, they do seem to have a few admin problems.

Holding stocks over that same period of time would have netted a much better return. 

Not necessarily. I put money into a fund 23 years ago and it now worth just 86% of the original sum. 

Yes, obviously, I should have taken it out but it's pretty much the case that whatever I do with my money is wrong [like the 1.25% fix I have money stuck in] so if I had moved it the original fund would have taken off and whatever I moved it to would have slumped. Three other funds of similar age have gained 42%, 144% and 545%. Shame I didn't put it all in the last one - but, of course, that was actually the one that I put least into and has probably only been allowed to do well to mock me for the other choices and would have failed had I put all my money into it.

Never mind though, I'm going to win the PB £1m next week. Most likely both of them

Unfortunately You can’t win the £1m prizes next week, Ernie has already allocated them to me!
