Premium bond cash in. How long does it take?

[Cartoonjane]

I'm sure I'm being impatient. I am cashing in sme premium bonds- have bought a car and need the money before I can pick it up. Has anyone cashed in any premium bonds recently? If so, how long did you have to wait to get the money? I sent the form in which they should have received last Saturday, asked for a bank transfer. Still no money this morning.

Says on their website up to 8 working days unless you have elected to cash in after the next draw, so should be in by today - are you certain you haven't accidentally ticked the box to wait until next draw? I'd ring them up if I were you :)

Just thought - do you mean Saturday just gone? If so, Saturday isn't a working day so they will take up until next Wednesday if so. If you do it again in future, it says you can apply online which takes 3 working days so that would be a better option :)

sorry to use an old thread , but wondered if anyone has trid to contact ns&i as the phone has been engaged for over 24hrs.. i have sent in a cash in form & am trying to see if they have rcieved it as no money in my account.

Think they may be snowed under due to the new bond thats been launched.

yes , I think it is to do with the bonds I have rung all day, its still engaged.
