Re: Premium Bonds

The day premium bonds came out, my then Boss bought everyone in our place of work 2 £1 bonds each. That was very generous in those days.
I still have those 2 as well. They start with the letters AB.

Re: Premium Bonds

I have two bonds which were bought for me when I was five years old - worth £5 each. I have never won anything so I might cash them in and go on a World cruise.

Prizes are being cut, nothing to do with Brexit of course. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-38893452

Re: Premium Bonds

I win the odd £25 now and again. I also save my change. It`s just a few quid but I do like to go down to my local building society and put something in an account I save for a treat one day.

Norwich and Peterborough are closing their local branches soon.

Re: Premium Bonds

I have an Instant Access account with Santander with about £2000 in it that I use for emergencies only.
How much notice do you have to give to cash in Premium Bonds?

Re: Premium Bonds

None.

If you cash out online you should get the money into your bank account in 2 days

Re: Premium Bonds

Thanks, it would make more sense for me to have my money in Premium Bonds than in an account that pays .01%.

Re: Premium Bonds

Bloody Capitalist.

Re: Premium Bonds

Yes and you have a very very very slight chance of wining a million or a lesser top prize

And it is still a better rate than most banks pay.

Re: Premium Bonds

I came up with £75 this month, one of my daughters had £175, and my sister got £1000.
