PREMIUM BONDS 2023

[Blondeshavemorefun]

Thought do a new thread as other is nearly full

lets hope for lots of wins for us all

there are more prizes of 50&100 but less of £25

Yah @Cactusali

And it's now 23rd so can get excited for feb

Feb will be a short month so soon be March draw as well 😂

Great news. 🤞for a win this month

Or rather next month! (Feb) Can you tell I’m tired 😴

A few people have mentioned another app, can you tell me what that is as I couldn't find it. I have the beige ns&i one from playstore.

We now have two lots in Marchs draw so fingers crossed we get a little something, though a bigger something would help😉

These are the two apps - if you press the photo to open it you can see.

There’s the PB prize checker app and then a separate app where you can log in and see the details of all your NS&I accounts.

Here:

Excited for the next draw.

Looks like the £25 prize is dropping again but the others are increasing including 3 extra 100k winners.

@OneFrenchEgg thank you. I have the one you have in the top right but shall get the other one too.

These two

When do I need to buy for them to be included in the march draw?

If you buy before the end of this month it’ll get included in the March draw.

I’m hoping my DH and Son get something in February as they’ve not had anything for a while.

I put in £20,000 in October from an inheritance after mum died. There will be another large sum when her house is sold so I’m going to increase the amount to the full allowance of £50,000 this summer.

I plan to do some home improvements probably next year ( got a couple of operations to get through first) so thought it would be fun to put some of my very unexpected inheritance into PBs to see if I win much.

Only won £25 in January so far!

I don't object to the 2 numbers, it makes sense to me as I have other NS&I products (index linked savings). The NS&I number is effectively my customer number and the PB number is my PB account number. When I log on to my NS&I account, I see all products laid out in a dashboard and a total investment. I would love it if they sold the index linked bonds again, they were an excellent product.

I've found the website really easy to do buy and sell transactions but the 2 step authentication is irritating.

Yes. It says you do it once

It's not once

I have an apple phone and it keeps saying there is an error with the second app when I try to enter my NS&I number. Anyone else?

I don’t use the other app but are you sure you’re putting in your NS&I number and not your premium bonds number?

@ChessieFL I am not even getting that far 😂 It's on the getting started screen as you first into the app, and present continue to go to the next page to add in your number.

I had this. I deleted and reinstalled and it worked again 🤷‍♀️

@AWaferThinMint Oh thanks, I shall give it a go :)

I have both apps and no issues with either. I login using Face ID on my iPad and iPhone. It’s all very quick and efficient 🤷‍♀️

You never have to do the 2 thing identification ?

@Blondeshavemorefun Not after originally setting-up, no, never!

Weird. I have it every fine. Even though it says once
