Nothing here😞

£125 for me, happy with that. Can't quite believe it's 34 days until the next draw.

CupoTeap · 02/12/2020 06:27

Nope and had forgot till I saw this

isitsnowingyet · 02/12/2020 06:30

Nowt for me ....on £28k holding. Yup - 34 days to wait....

Untangled87 · 02/12/2020 06:34

Nothing for me this month on £30K.

So my total winnings this year are £200, on an average investment of around £28K, which is a very rubbish 0.71% return. Oh well, hopefully that means I have a lot of good luck owed to me in 2021!

everyonebutme · 02/12/2020 06:38

£75 this month on about £10k saved with PB.

AaronPurr · 02/12/2020 06:39

Nothing here either.

OllysArmy · 02/12/2020 06:49

I can’t get on the app, so will have to check when I fire my laptop up later. It’s probably time to take stock and invest elsewhere with the rate cut.

Mindymomo · 02/12/2020 06:58

New PB customer. Can I ask how do you get notified if you have won anything. I only put our money in last month and my DH is already asking if we’ve won anything. I’ve told him you have to have money in for 30 days before you can enter the draw.

goteam · 02/12/2020 07:04

£50 this month on a £48k holding. £100 last month. I have had 3 months with nothing this year though. Still seems to be better than the interest I'm getting on my ISA.

If you bought them in November, they don't go into the draw until January, so you can't win anything this month unfortunately.

Quickest way to find out is on the app, which tells you if you've won or not on the second working day of the month. You can get email alerts, but they take an extra day or two to come through and you'll then need to log into the website anyway.

I won £25 this month, taking my total winnings for the year to 5 x £25 plus £1000 in October, which I'm immensely pleased about obviously.

Mindymomo · 02/12/2020 07:29

@BarbaraofSeville. thank you I will get the app. You have done really well this year, I doubt I will be as lucky, but we will see.

PrettyCherryBlossom · 02/12/2020 07:31

£25 for me, first month in the draw with £30k. Seems a long time to wait for the next one!

ChessieFL · 02/12/2020 07:35

Another £25 here. I’ve had about £6k invested since July and this is my third £25 win so I’m happy with that!

JayAlfredPrufrock · 02/12/2020 07:44

£25 here.

Better than a poke in the eye.

TheGirlOnTheLanding · 02/12/2020 07:45

Nothing for me for the first time since we started, which I'm unreasonably cross about! (We've won £25 x 2, £25 x 2 and £25 so far on our 28k). We really could have done with a nice win this month as DH about to be made redundant so we'll have to start cashing them in next year unless he gets another job very quickly. Ah well. So far no worse return than an easy access savings account.

FAQs · 02/12/2020 07:54

Nothing for me, finished the year on 1.2%

Queenie8 · 02/12/2020 07:54

First month for me in PB draw, no win.

On the winners website it lists a ‘Premium Bond Holding’ (presumably the amount that the holder has invested) but the a ‘bond value’.

What’s the latter?

*then a ‘bond value’

Rudolphian · 02/12/2020 08:05

Oh just won 4x25
Good stuff. But have got almost full holdings

Bond value will be that portion of the person's holding.

Many people will buy their PBs in dribs and drabs over time, so someone with a £50k holding may have lots of 'bond values' of £1k, £2k, £5k plus any prizes they've reinvested up to their total holding. So the bond value will be the amount of that section of their total holding. If you have PBs, you can download a list of numbers, amounts of each section of bonds, dates purchased and then total amount.

Bananagram99 · 02/12/2020 08:25

£50 for me, on almost full holdings

Fern204 · 02/12/2020 08:25

2 x £25 for me this month on £28k holding. Four months in a row, and have held them for six months, so pretty happy with that. Most of it goes on tax bill in January, but a good return .
