Try cashing in then rebuying to change your numbers.

Yep might do the switcheroo on some old bonds.

Genuine question. What advantage do you hope to gain by doing that?

You'd only reduce the eligibility of the old numbers from being included in that month's draw (seeing as you have to wait a full calendar month for your new bonds to be entered into the prize draw?)

Seems like you'd reduce your chances of winning rather than increase

It may be 'myth' but I have won every time [and more than the usual £25] after getting the new bonds!

[Pork]

£25 for me. That's three £25s since August. Very frustrating.

[DSLiverpool]

For me 1 * £100 and 1 * £25 on £40k
That's the biggest single bond I have had in ages

Mrs is now down to 17K holdings - I'm on 30k
Mrs = 2 x £25
Me = £25
= £475 in 8 months

First month of nothing for either us.
= £475 in 9 months

I assume this means results are live on the checker. Will look tonight and report back.

[Oakey]

Yep had the same on my 30K. Took it out after last draw and reinvested it for next one. Will update you if this take out/put in theory works.

Well there are other places to put your money, you know?
No one's forcing you to have it in PB's...

[Steamer]

well, they must be planning one hell of a christmas party of at nsandi HQ...

...second month is a row: sweet FA

Merry b'stard xmas to you too

[BoRED S2upid]

£25 for me. 12 draws in and a 1.25% return so better than the run of the mill boring cash isa and like the lotto there is always the possibility of the big one.

[4sure]

Mrs 0
Me £25

[WTD]

75 quid on 20k.

Had a good run, this year I've won 500 on 2k which is 2.5% - not anything to get excited about but better than the 0.5% it would get sitting in my current account!

[SimonV8ster]

Another £25 this month.

£500 in 20 months on an average of about £30K.

Yeah likewise, I have to log into my bank account 4 days after the draw to see if I've won. The NS&I website is truly awful.
