£50 on £13k
Quite happy with that as I have only just started using premium bonds properly in the last two months

£125 each for wife and I on £100K. I thought last month's bump up was too good to last!

The "kids" seem spectactularly unlucky with the £20K each their grandfather gave them - one did get £25 this month, but that's unusual. The other one never seems to get anything.

£275 on my £50k. Not sure on wife’s yet as I’m on a plane!

£1000 is good to the chap above!
£300 on £100k in the end.

Just putting whatever we win into my sons JISA - he’s going to do alright at this rate. Though suspect these prizes will start reducing before too long if base rate peaks and contracts a bit?

I think my £25 on £75 will take some beating.

On here, yes - but the £4 bond that won £25K mentioned a few pages back is somewhat better!

I dont think rates will be going back down quickly. I know the expectation was this this months rise was the last, but given it was only 0.25% and previously expected to be 0.5%, and that inflation is still going the wrong way, i expect we will now see at least another 0.25% next month.

Either way its going to be a long time, if ever that we get back to the insanely low almost zero rates weve seen over the last 10yrs. That was not the “norm”

Agreed! Wouldn't mind swapping with them.

Thought I was doing well in March with 2 x £100, but April has given me 3 x £100 and 1 x £25 biggrin All on £50k so an annualised rate of >6% based on the last 2 months. I predict nothing in May!
