PREMIUM BONDS - august onwards !!!

[Blondeshavemorefun]

Know other thread is near the end

So this is for when previous one is full

Nothing here for me or DH. But I have had a run of 4 months in a row with wins so I expected it. Roll on September's draw

£100 for me on approx £45k - it's OK.

Nothing for me this month - I haven't won anything since February 2023. 7K holdings. Oh for the days I had 40K in there - before my new kitchen - and was winning something every month!

175 for me!

Still nothing for me. I've never won 🤣🤣

@fancreek My husband did the maths so I shall take great glee on correcting him 😂 Our luck won't hold though!! It never does.

For those thinking of drawing out, maybe do half and leave half. I follow a website that tells of the best rates and accounts if it's any help, I think it's call becleverwithyourcash dot com. I was looking at Coventry with a good rate and access at least up to 6 times a year if needed.

I am for someone with not very many

When I had £35k in there - years ago - before drained it for ivf and extension and car loan I barely won or the odd £25 here and there

£625 on 2xFH. Our best month so far.

Nothing for us this month (DH and I each have full holdings, 3x DC have around £5K each) 😢

Nothing for me this month, second blank month on a row on £13k.

£50 for DS on £5k. Nothing for me on 5k, nothing for DD on 3k. He definitely gets the luck!

£50 for me with £3,650. Nothing last month and often don't win anything. This was a nice surprise. Dad with full holding, £25.

£275 for me and £150 for DH so very happy with that .

Nothing for me on £6500.

Nothing here and haven't won for a few months now.
However, holding is quite low. Hoping to get it up to FH in the next couple of months following house sale

£100 on FH. Average return now well below the stated rate so thinking of withdrawing for better returns elsewhere.

£250! Yay!

Thank you @L0bstersLass
I went to sleep after my post, woke up at 5am and found I’d won £125 so not too bad at all!

DH won £225. This is the first month of having FH.

£75 on almost FH.

Thats £225 so far this year

£275 for DS
£150 for DD
£125 for me, all FH

I'll probably just equally divide the DCs winnings between them before transferring into their savings accounts, seems a bit fairer

Winnings over last 6 months showing a return of 4.95%, so not as high as we could get from a high interest account but tax-free and always with the chance of a big win. I read yesterday that a record amount has been withdrawn from PBs because of poor returns - this means that the prize fund is reducing. I wonder if the rate will go up again to try to tempt people to re-invest.

@sashagabadon you are this months winner so far. Well done

£125 for me on £20k - I’ve had £350 since Feb. Would need around £1k per year to make it match with an ISA

£250 for me on £15,000; will have to break the news to mildly hungover DH that he got nothing on his £20k. Overall I’m running at about 6% since January so I’m pretty far ahead. Will need to steel myself for nothing for the rest of the year.
