Wed 2 app /£25 wins

Can someone tell me the app please? August will be my first draw!

@Rupiduti These two apps are the ones we are talking about.
The dark blue/black one has your balance and bond numbers
The cream one is the prize checker.

Thanks for the lovely replies about my DD £1000 win.
Up until then she only received £25 or at most a couple of times 2x £25 - and quite a few months nothing.

Just to confuse things I use a white one to check balance as blue doesn't work for me

And cream for if I've won

This! Such a nice thing to happen to your daughter viktoria.

Those reviews seem very odd. Someone wanting to get their money "today" well it's not that kind of account. Or calling them fascists!

We took some money out of PBs twice recently - both times only took a couple of days.

The reviews seem a bit one sided - at least one was a scam, and a few others are from people who just don't like (understand?) the concept of Premium Bonds. There are also a few of the 'I've had PBs for years, but never won anything' kind.

Some are definitely bots that’s for sure.
DH tried to buy some this week but kept getting thrown off the website. I found the reviews when I was trying to see if there was a website issue. Our personal experience up till now has been good.

I rarely wish the months away in the summer but the weather if so crap I am looking forward to July ending and the draw being held.

I’ve had zero look on premium bonds since I invested about 10 months ago.
My consolation prize for August is that my c-section is booked for the 2nd as well so if I don’t win (again) then least I’ll get a different prize 🤗

A baby Leo! Hope all goes well

What happens if we are away the day agent mill comes? Obviously they will be coming to mine 🥴

Ooh, pay day. Transferred my savings amount over to PB ready for the August draw (or will it be September? I'm never sure if it refers to the month the draw happens or the month that's just gone.)

Is finding out day next Wednesday?

@CatMattress If you transferred the money to PB in July, the first draw you will be eligible for is September.

So, the very next draw, it it classed as July or August?

The draws are at the beginning of the month, so the July draw is already finished. New funds need to be in your account for a full calendar month and then they'll be in the next draw after you reach that point.

If you put funds in today, they would sit for all of August and then be eligible for the Sept draw.

WHAT HAPPENS WITH CUSTOMERS WHO HAVE WON A HIGH-VALUE NS&I PRIZE?NS&I replies: Customers winning prizes worth between £10,000 and £100,000 are sent a prize claim form via the post. This asks them how they would like their prize paid. For example, they can choose to have their prize paid directly into their bank account or automatically reinvested into more Premium Bonds.

Taken from an article all about premium bonds - thought people who like to dream of the bigger prizes might be interested. You gotta think positive!!

@littleblackcat27
an interesting read! 5 Agents Williams!!!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
thanks for sharing.
Wishing everyone Good Luck for the August draw!

Good luck to all - here's hoping for a nice win or even a dare to dream of visit from AW!

Really hoping for a win - I've been building mine up since last Sept and have had half holdings for the last two months, not one a penny to date.
