£50 this month both on £8k,
Wow, you're doing well!
Just invested 10k savings myself and hoping to bag a few good months. Most people seem to have way more so it's good to see that smaller amounts can still get you a return.

I only got £25 on £50k this month, but strangely, I did get two emails. One on 4/12 and one today.

Has the draw happened this month? Is there a section of the (new improved) dashboard that lets you know you haven't won anything rather than waiting for it to tell you that you have, if you see what I mean.

The app has never worked for me . . . . . until right now when I downloaded it again to test following your suggestion. Nice one.

You're right, it's much easier than the dashboard.

I RX. what you're saying, but I quite like having the bonds. I've received 2.5% returns this year on them and I quite like the excitement of waiting to see if I've won a prize. I'm only sat on £20k (£20,500 with prizes added) so I'm never going to make much cash wherever I have it. Instant(ish) access should I need it and zero risk. I don't see a downside.

yes I don't think anybody in here is expecting huge returns, but it's instant access, better than the highstreet banks and it provides some anticipation/excitement once a month not knowing what "interest" you'll get. Roll on my £1m win tomorrow wink

The app makes not winning so much more exciting, I'm kind of not even joking!
