Just £200 this month - still hoping for a bigger win sometime but happy to get the ‘expected’ return🙂

2x £100 and both bonds were bought well over 20 years ago

Total return for year 4.95% so quite nice as its tax free so I’d have had to get much higher rates if saved elsewhere.

I must be very lucky £1,200 from 47k only had it in since January 24 😁.

Very lucky indeed. The most I've ever got on £50K is £300 and I've had them for years.

Should three months of £0 on a full holding be suspicious? I'm not sure what to do... 

The chances of a blank month from a full holding are roughly one in ten, so three in a row is about one in a thousand - unlucky certainly but not suspiciously so IMHO, and an experience that'll be shared by hundreds if not thousands of others, if that's any consolation....

SO I called the helpline, and it turns out I actually did win £350 this month on my full holding, even though the website doesn't show it!

The NS&I call centre system shows the March prizes on my account, but the website & app doesn't yet... I was told it can sometimes take a while to update. Who knew. 

I definitely got 0 in Jan & Feb though, but £150 in November (when I started) and £225 in December.

My partner started a FH account in Dec and has won between £100-350 each month, so I guess it does all average out... 

That sounds very strange and quite concerning. I can't help wondering if you would ever have found out if you hadn't called the helpline.
