No, no form needed at least not for everyone - my recent 5k win got automatically reinvested for me just like my smaller wins. The date I see in my transaction history is the first of the month - but then, this month's small prize reinvestments show there already with a date in the future. If you log in on the website and look at transaction history, is there nothing there?

It’s there as a win and it appeared on the app but not as a reinvestment and no new bonds purchased unlike my £25 and £50 wins.
I’ll email them I think.
I have winning bond number etc
hope not a mistake!

ItIsNeverMeIThought · 02/09/2023 11:36

I expect it's fine! Might want to give it a few days before you bother contacting them - I didn't check whether there was a delay in seeing the investment. It's not something as simple as that this win would take you over full holdings, is it? That would surely require something different to be done.

PriamFarrl · 02/09/2023 11:39

I am showing as a £100 win but it’s not gone in yet as a reinvestment.

Nothing again! Seriously? One £50 win for me in the first month, 10 maybe 11 months ago. Only got £4,000 in there but still. I don't believe that early win was accidental.

I’ve a similar amount and won only 4 times in nearly three years all £25. It was fine when rates were low but I can do better even on small amount having it in a savings account now.

Seeing how much rates have gone up with NSI I’m giving it a bit longer but next year I’ll probably shift it. I’ll miss the fun!

However @Blondeshavemorefun defo has more luck than I’ve never had and they have a small amount too!

Blondeshavemorefun · 02/09/2023 11:58

Yep the last few months I've done really well on small holdings

Which makes me think if I ever managed to have full /£50k aka never lol

I would be in a chance if a big win

Nothing for me or DD

WowIlikereallyhateyou · 02/09/2023 09:29

FH = full holdings= £50,000 max investment.

😊 thanks

Carpediem15 · 02/09/2023 12:18

£275 on my FH
£575 on Husbands FH

Iggi999 · 02/09/2023 12:32

£125 on £30k. I need to work out the interest sometime!

fussychica · 02/09/2023 12:52

Nothing for us this month. Falling behind what we could get in interest on our holding so considering withdrawing.

RoyalImpatience · 02/09/2023 13:38

4 k and nothing again for me.

Gemini202 · 02/09/2023 13:52

We had to withdraw a fair bit recently as just moved house. Still have £19.5k each for me and Dh, plus £4k for Ds. We won zilch this month, disappointing. But thankful for my new house (although lots of money will come out soon as it’s a doer upper).

Roseyleaf · 02/09/2023 14:01

£250 this month on £46k holding. My biggest win so far. Interest around 3% for the year.

I have lots of small blocks of bonds and I'm quite tempted to withdraw them then re-buy as one block.

I know it means missing a month, but a lot of the bigger wins seem to go to people who have big blocks purchased more recently.

Okki · 02/09/2023 14:24

In 2023, I've had £150 on approx £20k. So rubbish return. Think I'll take most of it out now, but still leave my £25 monthly DD going. DH has had similar winnings on £2k. I was going to take it out last month, but left it in because of the increase in prizes. Hey ho!

Kaltenzahn · 02/09/2023 14:59

Nothing for me this month ☹ I did check at midnight, but was too busy sulking tired to post. I seem to have pretty bad luck and could definitely make more through interest, but the excitement every month is worth sticking with it 😊

Eaumyword · 02/09/2023 15:04

£275 on 2.5 FH.
I'd made the mistake of checking on yesterday's spreadsheet. I found a £5k winner from our county, bought in the same month/year as us, bond number starting with the same number as ours.
Not gonna lie, I was convinced it was us and was already mentally spending the money!
Think I need to try from now on not to check the day before, as it does make it disappointing you think it could be you!

Wiaa · 02/09/2023 15:18

Another rubbish month for us, nothing for me and £50 for DH I'm on fh and DH has about 48

LuckyHedgehog · 02/09/2023 16:40

3 x £50 for me, 1 x £50 + 1 x £25 for DD and 1 x £100 for DS this month, all on full holdings.

VisionOfYou · 02/09/2023 16:42

£275 this month for me, am thrilled!

Henowner · 02/09/2023 17:07

£200 for me and £100 for DS. I'm thrilled but he's not 😂

LizziesTwin · 02/09/2023 19:02

£100 & £50 for me.

Wrapunzel · 02/09/2023 19:17

£50 on just under £10k, not too disappointing

bobby81 · 02/09/2023 19:26

£275 on FH for me

Sewingdufus · 02/09/2023 19:32

Thought this might be helpful.

PREMIUM BONDS - august onwards !!!
Seasidesusy · 02/09/2023 19:37

£150 for me (£100 & £50) on 39k. We’ve had £1300 in just over a year. Not really sure if that’s good or not but I love ‘winning’ 😅
