    Zero for me, I was never lucky so I withdrew my max holding 

    Now I'm being paid £312 a month in interest 

    Every month

    I'd rather not think about how much interest I've lost out on vs savings accounts (even after tax) by holding the max holding for the last couple of years.
    I guess a year ago or more you would be earning not much either way

    Another £0 on £15k. That makes a total of £25 over the past 7 months..I had better luck when rates were nonexistent. I’ll be moving all the money out this month

    Absolutely, you'll make more than £25pm on a top EA/IA savings account (circa. 5%AER). OK so you'll lose the opportunity to scoop £1mil but.....depends how much of a gambler you are!
    If you believe you can, you will. If you believe you can't, you won't.

    Secured/Unsecured loans x 1 
    Credit Cards x 8 (total limit £55,050)
    Creation FS Retail Account x 1
    Creation Credit Sale 0% x 1 = £112.50pm x 20 mths
    0% Overdraft x 1 (£0 / £250)
    Mortgage Outstanding - £137,707.00 (Payment 13/360)
    Total Debt = £7,400 (0%APR) @ £100pm - Stoozing

    both myself and my husband won £50 each on full holdings this month, but won £800 between us last month - swings and roundabouts, as they say.
