    Only £50 this month on a full holding. Year to date ~4% tax free so can't complain!

    It appears from reading posts on here that quite a lot of people are taking money out from PB’s this month. Hopefully it may encourage NS&I to increase their prize rates, to encourage people back in.
    The facts don't tend to support the sentiment expressed by grumpy unsuccessful punters on here - every month there are indignant complaints about this, and defiant intentions to withdraw, but the bigger picture is that the total number of bonds in each draw rarely drops significantly, if at all.  There were over 100 million fewer bonds in this draw than the previous one, but anyone feeling that this would give NS&I a bloody nose might be better to observe that the August draw still involved over 99.9% of the number of bonds in July, i.e. it's just trivial rounding errors in the general scheme of things....
  • Me £775 on max (£500 + 2 x £100 + £50 + £25)
    Wife £250 on max

    Total last 4 months (both) of £2275.

    £125 for me on circa 47k
    £225 for OH on FH

    I'm at almost £1,500 from the last 6 draws which feels pretty decent to me. We use pbs as cash savings while we wait for some other funds to finalise so they make sense for us. We may rethink our holdings later in the year, but for now we need the reassurance of having them available should we need them. 
  • Full holding for last 7 months. Total winnings of £575 over 7 months. Return = 1.97%  Truly abysmal. Withdrawing all bar £100
