What happens if you are on "auto reinvest" and hit £40k ? do you go above £40k or do they send you cheques ?

Its £50k limit now isn't it, but yes I think they then send you cheques. I have near max in one and 30 something in the other, so was planning to reinvest prizes from the full on into the other if possible.

2x£25 this morning...not too shabby

[steveo3002]

£25 today ...from 40k

[Pork]

Both £1m won in Liecester this draw.

Just. £25 for me this month!

[Oystercatcher]

After the heady excitement of November, nothing in December and only £25 this month.

[stevensdrs]

£25 quid here - on £45k deposit.

Really it is just another low interest bank account.

[Avidfanofstuff]

£25 on £22k

[MW-M5]

£25 this month.

It's only Feb but I'm almost break even against one of my bank accounts (at 0.5%) for the whole year (after factoring in the tax that would be payable)

£0 on £84k

Ouch!

I'm about to get back into these but seeing the above poor results is making me think twice! I use to regularly get £75-100 a month on a much smaller holding then £84k!

[okgo]

Ha, yes, I was a bit surprised to open the app and see nothing, we have one with max and the other slowly filling up. When I get to £100k I'm not sure what I'll do really, as I'll likely need a chunk of the cash to buy a new house at some point I guess PB are as good as any for short term safety.

Me nowt
Mrs £75
Nephew with £5k has won £25 last 4 months

That's all I'm thinking......its marginally more interesting than having cash in the bank.

[steveo3002]

yeah the slight chance of a bigger win makes it a little bit of fun

80k between tow of us...nothing for feb

paid in another 10 each so 100k total for next time

[33q]

Not a Sausage...says the App for me this month (£22k).

[stevensdrs]

And yet again £25 on 30k holding. They might just as well put me on a standing order payment as it seems to be £25 every month for me.

[droopsnoot]

£75 this month, that's taken my AER to slightly over 1% for the first time since (my) records began.

[nigelpugh7]

Yep,just another £25 this month!

Can hardly get lunch for that these days!
