Are premium bonds easily accessible ?

@inmyslippers

Yep. You can withdraw at any time. It's my extension money at the moment so I need the access but want to make money on draws in the meantime.

Also based on how slow the planning process is funds will be in there for a while

Ohpulltheotherone · 06/05/2021 10:45

£150 for me on maximum holdings. I’ve had about 500£ in the past year.

Nothing for DP on 20k - he’s had about 150 over past 6 months.

Come on June!!!!

blue1000 · 06/05/2021 10:53

I won £25 in May. I'm buying a new shoe rack.

Ilovefluffysheep · 06/05/2021 11:22

I won £25 in April on £25k holding (first month I was in the draw) and 3 x £25 this month on £50k holding. Very happy with that, long may it continue!

Dyrne · 06/05/2021 12:06

Thanks for the new thread!

Got the official email today telling me I’d won, and helpfully informing me that when I set things up I’d elected to automatically buy more bonds with any winnings. Handy.

EastWestWhosBest · 06/05/2021 12:27

Just checking in. Hopefully we will all get a win before the thread ends !

QueenMabby · 06/05/2021 12:36

Can I join? Have £15k in holdings. 2x £25 wins for me in May taking me up to £125 total since October when I started.

DinosaurDiana · 06/05/2021 12:37

I’ve never won a single penny 😢

LoveMySituation · 06/05/2021 12:54

Is it worth it if you put a small amount of money in? I know you don't get interest any more and the more you have in the likelier you are to win. I remember my mum winning on them (not much, late 80's, when you still got a letter!) and I have a nagging feeling about getting some. She's dead now, so maybe it's a sign from her I should. Or maybe it's misplaced nostalgia

FakeColinCaterpillar · 06/05/2021 12:57

Place marking for June!

Saltandshake82 · 06/05/2021 13:13

Got a text this morning, notifying me of a win!! Logged on have won £25.

Saltandshake82 · 06/05/2021 13:14

@inmyslippers

Are premium bonds easily accessible ?
Yes, when I've requested to withdraw them its only taken 2-3 days.
Blondeshavemorefun · 06/05/2021 13:42

Yes they are easily accessed

Only taken out a few times, when very skint lol

But usually in my account 2/3days later

Small amounts can win, on last thread if showed someone who had £1510 and they won £100k 😱😱😱😱

Obv more you have the better your chance

But it’s no risk unlike lottery and could win a million

Someone has to

First month, max holding, 2 x £25 - happy with that 😀

justanotherneighinparadise · 06/05/2021 14:05

Checking in.

LarsErickssong · 06/05/2021 14:44

I'm getting close to max holdings and currently have it set to reinvest so I'm looking forward to actually receiving my prizes as cash once I've reached max holdings!

inmyslippers · 06/05/2021 15:04

I've just put £500 it's part of my emergency fund. Still trying to pay off debt at the moment so don't want to do much more and need to have access to money ASAP if needed.

Clickncollect · 06/05/2021 15:09

£50 this month on max holdings

FinallyFluid · 06/05/2021 15:15

My disappointment was ameliorated by the news that we had won the lottery.
