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

[loskie]

2x £100 this month on £50k invested. A total of £475 so far this year

[LeoSayer]

£0 on £20k.

[deja.vu]

£75 on £49k

[stichill99]

£50 on 50k. I am getting poorer results since the increase in prize funds over the last 6 months. I suppose when I win £1000 next month it will even itself out. Long way from over 3% interest.

[Alickadoo]

£150.00 on £100k.

[Simbu]

Sweet FA on £16k since December. Not sure how annoyed I should be about that. Far from the biggest pot but also becoming a poor rate of return.

[dreamcracker]

2x £25 on 50k.

[GT3Manthey]

Lousy £25 on 50k !

[Jonny_]

Nothing on £50k this month. Disappointing.

[LastPoster]

£125 on £50k

Total since taking the full allocation is about the same as if I had the money in a saving account paying 3% but that I paid tax on, which I would have had to.

Still sticking with my plan to shift £20k to an ISA later this week

[AdamV12V]

£25 this month on max holding also. Yes a tad disappointing but ive done ok the last 4 months with:

£200 march
£425 feb (my best month ever)
£50 jan
£125 dec

So thats £800 in the last 6 mths. Cant complain!

The mrs has won £725 over the same period too.

[CinnamonFan]

First eligible draw for me with £11k.

Two prizes 1x£50 and 1x£100.

Very happy with it. Hope it continues but understandably it wont.

[crmcatee]

£100 on 50K. Rolling interest currently at 2.55%

[GT3Manthey]

Thinking of taking out my bonds and reinvesting

[jonwm]

I took £2k out last month after having nothing since November I think it was.

So now on £17 ish K this month has 1 x £25 and 1 x £50.wifes grandad who is now nearly £30k got nothing.

Deffo doing worse since the prizes increased.

[Oldaker]

£525 on holding of £27000 . Thats the best win I have ever had on them.

[snoopy25]

Nothing for me on £4.5k unfortunately boooo!

Thats just an urban myth, youll just loose a months draw if you do that - thats all.

Ive had mine continiously invested since 2005 and i still win largely in line with the stated interest rate over time.

I think they are a solid place to put your spare cash as long as you’ve maxed out your isa allocations first.

Fair enough Adam.

Hope retirement is going well BTW
