Premium Bonds - Not a bean for months now!!!!

[dom9]

Nothing showing on £50k for me, this month, but last month's £25 seemed to pop up (online and via email) a bit later than others were reporting last month, so will check again later this week.

[kp_nuts]

£125 on £50k. Around 2% over the past year.

[Pork]

M£25 for me. Wife not checked.

Haven't done the calls for us but wife won £1k in the last year so that's helped it not be an abomination.

2*£25 = £50for this month, better than nowt I geuss!

[AyBee]

Another 3 x £25 - 1.38% running return

[227bhp]

£50 this month and £50 last month.
I worked out my last years returns to be the same as an ISA.

[John Laverick]

Nothing here on £5k

[Oystercatcher]

3 x £25 for each of the last 7 months. Kind of makes up for the early wilderness years...

[2fast748]

£25 for me (2nd month on the trot!) on £1828

[stevensdrs]

Back to winning ways with 3 x £25 this month on 50k. Still running on target to achieve more than 1% return.

[FocusRS3]

I'm in need of the £1mln prize !

[Chapppers]

Nothing for seven months now, I think it’s getting withdrawn and “reinvested” in a supercharged GT86

so if you win the big one(two) what happens? do they knock on your door on the 1st or next working day to give the good news?

What if you win say £250k or £100k is that via the post as well or a letter saying to claim or a knock on the door?

[33q]

£25 each for us on a total of £66k

[IAN1967]

£25 on £5K held for our daughter, thats £225 over 2 years

They certainly used to - I read an article about someone who used to do the job. I suppose a million is neither here-nor-there these days so they probably don't bother.

I think that person was a hired assassin because I've never met (or in fact - met anyone thats ever met..) a PB Millionaire <Tin Foil Hat>

There is a person who informs you of the big £1M pize - I have met one of them (unfortunately through work and not to give me a big cheque!)

Ive had quite a few £25 recently an they all tend to be related to where I have large runs on bonds eg my £8k or £5k investment and not my regular £150 top ups. Was thinking of trying to cash in all my little holdings and put back in for one big run.

Don't bother. I've put £50k in as a lump on a few occasions, and it makes no difference.

Last time I cashed in any bods (via my online account) I had to cash in the oldest bonds first, rather than the little £25 bonds I wanted to cash in. I didn't think the forms at the Post Office existed any more either where you could detail the bond numbers to cash in - or have I been mis-reading the online website?
