I’ve had it early a few months now. Sometimes with a code such as SDS in front of it. It only appeared this afternoon as there was nothing there this morning.

Yep, just checked my NS&I app and I have reinvested winnings for the May draw itemised as "PDS reinvest. directly eligible", but not added to the total holding yet.

So you get to peek early if you choose the reinvestment option.

What did you get last month? £50?

In my experience, the monthly total doesn't update before midnight in the web prize tracker, but it's usually ahead of what you can see when you log into your account on the web site.

4 x £100 for me this month on the max investment (it could equal my highest month?).

Nothing for me

I was withdrawing anyway this month to use the money for other things so a final few quid would have been nice.

Will still have my £2 paper bond from 1971 though so just maybe……

£375 on a combined 60k. Not doing too bad this year, looking at £2000 over the last 6 draws.

£125 on max holding for me.

That’s £700 over the past 3 draws, which gives an annual return of 5.6% tax free.

Installed the prize checker app a few days ago. It was previously showing a £25 win last autumn, it’s now gone to YOU DON’T HAVE ANY PRIZES (larger capitals) IN THE PAST SIX DRAWS. Talk about depressing. Will give this till my mortgage overpayment allowance resets in October and then decide whether to keep them or use the cash to pay down the mortgage balance.

Checked on the main NS&I app last night and nothing showing as an auto-reinvestment so assumed this would be a barren month.

Checked the prize winner app this morning and I’ve actually won three prizes, £25, £50 and £100. Was a pleasant surprise.

That’s seven months on the trot now with a win although no particularly big ones so I doubt that rate of return is great.
