1x £25 this month. This month marks a year of holding premium bonds with a grand total of £125 or a percentage increase of 0.25%. Max holding as well...

Done Quaife well this month 4*£25 = £100!
Looks like you're getting to grips with it, that's quite some differential.

funny! Hadn't even noticed that the autocorrect had changed it to Quaife! Shows you what I spend most of my time writing about.

Reminds me, must check out his months too!

Yep just checked mine too, extra sprinkles as the app says,

2* £25 = £50 on my one holding.

Can't check the other one as they normally come as cheques, will have to wait until we get home later!

I had £25k in March and then took a load out for a house deposit, but left around £11k. Since then I've not had one prize, despite winning fairly regularly before that. Not sure quite how that works.

It could be something to do with having 14,000 less chances of winning perhaps?

Yes, but it seems to have dropped by way more than I would have proportionally expect. Maybe I need more data points.

You're thinking that they're sulking because you withdrew and they're not entering you in as many draws as they should be?

I have a similar daft nagging feeling wink

I'm eligible from 1st September - Wish me luck!

Not sure why I didn't think to put some money in here before. Have had it resting in my account (Father Ted style) for too long, earning nothing.

I guess it still may earn nothing wink

Twenty five measly quid.

I'm beginning to think the mattress will get me a better return on my 50k...

I know someone with £120k in PB.
He had £120k in PB's in 1994, too.
He was much more well off in 1994 than he is now...

Unlikely given the limit has only been recently increased to 50k per person.

I cashed all my Premium Bonds in yesterday morning and the cash was in my account first thing this morning. I didn't expect it so quickly
