£50 in October.

The potential 'rate of interest' on Premium Bonds is now 1%. To win £25 each month - £300 a year - you should theoretically hold £30,000 worth of Bonds.

I think.

How is my maths?

[Pistom]

The grand amount of £0 in 2 months on the run on £50K.

Also £0 this month on another £50K this month.

[lyricalgangster]

I won £25 on a £500 holding, and it was the first draw they had been in!

Well chuffed

There does seem to be a higher yield on new bonds. No logic behind it but just seems to be so.

Bought £50k in August in the wife’s name. Had 3 x £25 in the first two months so far. Nothing on mine!

Isn't that from the December draw onwards? I know the interest rates on the other NS&I products go down in November.

[2 GKC]

It is.

[pobot]

4 X £25 on £16k. Feeling lucky.

[51mes]

2x£25 on 31k... Ticking over nicely..

This is my first month, do they email you or do I need to log in?

First month since taking them out, or first month eligible for the draw? As I think you have to wait for the first draw to pass before you can take part, but I may recall that incorrectly.

But yes, they do email eventually. I’ve had an email for this draw but the email to my wife for her £25 hasn’t come through yet. However, if you download the app, you can click and find out sooner, which I excitedly do every month, only to start the countdown again. It’s fun though, as for those split seconds, the big prize is mine

Hopefully those that arnt happy with how their bonds are performing will cash them in.

They email you, usually a day after you are able to check the results on the app, if you have won anything.

Per the other poster, you need to have held them a full month after the month you bought them for the bonds to be eligible for the draw. So any bonds bought in September won’t be eligible for this draw but will be in the November draw.

Surely less money in the pot = less to win? It raises a good question, whether winnings are dependent on the amount of holders....

Worst month ever here however, a poxy £25 on 2 full accounts.

Nothing this month
