Not sure if anyone is interested but as there was a discussion about chase they've just sent me a referral code which if used we'd both get 20 quid.

Looks like I literally just send you a referral link, don't need to know each others details or anything. If anyone does want one let me know and I'll PM one to you.

Really wish they'd introduced this a while ago, I've recommended chase to 5 people who've joined. How annoying!!

Apologies if this has been answered before; how long does it take to withdraw money from a PB account?

InMySpareTime · 24/05/2022 10:16

About 3 working days

@Cottagepieandpeas
I took some out in April- it took about 4 working days from request to being in the bank. It was about the same for my son in March.

Thanks that's really helpful.

I took some out about three weeks ago. Requested payment Tuesday evening, was in bank first thing Thursday morning. Very quick!

Theforest · 24/05/2022 11:06

Did you see chances are increasing in June!!

That's just typical as I've redeemed a third of mine Hmm

annabell22 · 24/05/2022 13:12

Hooray! Maybe 24500:1 chance of winning means we might get something worth having - we have only had £100 between us this year on maximum holding each Sad

ThatPosterIsSoRight · 24/05/2022 20:38

Hurray! So does the draw in a few days’ time count as ‘June’s draw’?

I might get more than £0, woo hoo

ThatPosterIsSoRight · 24/05/2022 21:32

Looking at the N&SI website, they estimate there will be another 1.4 million £25 prizes, but also nearly double the number of £10k to £100k prices.

So that’s something to look forward to for the bank holiday weekend!

Myleakycauldron · 24/05/2022 22:53

Hopes have been raised!

RubbishDay · 25/05/2022 13:13

Great news about the increased prizes.

whoseturnisit · 25/05/2022 13:28

Just seen this thread.
DH and I both have max holdings DS2 also put the max in his (he's saving for a house). We agreed to pool winnings and he's done very well out of it so far😂.
With the increase most people are still a fraction better off with a chase account at 1.5% but we've decided that for 0.1% it's not worth moving it all yet. I think when interest rates will go up again we might move out of PBs.

UggyPow · 25/05/2022 19:18

I just put in £100 per month, haven’t won anything in 4 years but maybe one day 😀

Aubree17 · 25/05/2022 22:08

FiveShelties · 04/05/2022 00:44

25 each for husband and I on 24K each. I have won 175 in 2022 and my husband has won 75.

Back to dreaming about the million ...............

You could each get 40 a month in a one year fixed term savings account. Some accounts now paying over 2%.

anotherbrewplease · 27/05/2022 07:08

@annabell22 😬

That is really appalling luck!!

I have just over £40k in, and have won over

anotherbrewplease · 27/05/2022 07:09

whoops - £250 this year

anotherbrewplease · 27/05/2022 07:10

Maybe you're due for a big win in June? Fingers crossed for you then

ENoeuf · 27/05/2022 07:12

Oh exciting . I have just over £5k now, not sure if I should leave it at that or crack on for max holdings eventually (would take a couple of years).

I have just over £40k and have only won £25 this year (possibly £50 but no more!).So expecting a bit more luck!

So, hands up who's expecting a phone call tomorrow?! With the increased prize rate, one of us on here is bound to win at least £100k, right? Grin

I can dream...
