PREMIUM BONDS - august onwards !!!

[Blondeshavemorefun]

Know other thread is near the end

So this is for when previous one is full

£350 for me on FH. Pleased.

£400 on 2xFH. Lowest return for 4 months. Was expecting more after this month’s interest rate rise. But it seems like slim pickings for many of us on here this time.

Nothing for me on £45 so that's it it's coming out, I was only 'testing' having all my savings in there from May - July draws and after rubbish May/June I had a good July so decided to keep in but then my august was only ok and now September is crap so it's all coming back out!

First month neither of us had had anything at all. I’m going to do the maths on my overall return to check how it’s going.

Another month of £100 on FH - ok but less than I’d get elsewhere, even paying interest.

I seriously thinking of withdrawing- it’s not just the low effective rate to me, it’s also the hassle of withdrawing then anything I put back in not qualifying instantly for the next draw.

Currently returning 6% on 2xFH, based on last 3 months. Pretty good really especially as tax-free.

£0 on FH

Nothing for me or DH but both low holdings and we had a good run earlier in the year. Roll on October's draw

Just won £250 on FH!!
Delighted !
Roll on October
Good luck!

£500 prize is brilliant! I've never had over £50

£25 for me after nothing for 4 months, hold about £12k I think

£175 on 45k. Not too bad. Four or five more draws to go before I have to take it all out to pay for renovations.

£50 on FH. I try to be grateful for every little thing but have to admit a bit disappointing.

Good luck everyone.

£25 on full holding. Joke. I'm looking at interest rates on accounts this morning.

£150 on my daughter's £38k
£200 on FH

I won £450 last month so am on quite a good roll.

£100 on £12k so pretty pleased with that.

£25 on FH was pretty disappointing but 4% return this year which works for me as ISAs are full and don’t want to faff about paying tax on savings interest.

I'm with you there as I've experienced the same. First month I was in the draw (May 2023), I won £150 on £25k. Not had anything since.

£1,000 for ds who has just over £3k holding. Absolutely delighted for the lucky boy!

Good month after a thin time recently . £625 on 40k including one £500 prize and £175 on 37k.

Nothing on 23 and 22. Gutted!

£200 on around £42k which is better than the last few months.

Nothing on £6k but I think I used up all my luck in April (£500 but nothing since), still about 9% return over a year.

I got 3 wins on about £25k £25,£50 and my biggest ever win £1000. And looking at that bond number a very recently purchased one so I think may come from a previous win

Wow @Shootingstar2018 Lucky ds and our monthly winner so far

Just goes to prove small pots can win as well

Which I know as had carrot lady and 2 x £100

I’m amazed - DS has £600 invested and won £50. I also got £50 on my remaining 3k. Very pleased!

Both had the lady with carrots.
