Premium Bonds

We have disposed of most of our Premium Bonds as there seem no point having the money tied up in them. OK you could get lucky. Some years ago we had a nice tranche of Bonds and we seem to win regular amounts, at least enough to cover the interest we would have got elsewhere. We then decided to double the investment and won absolutely nothing so apart from a few odd ones stuck on the inside of ERNIE!!!

Both us and sister are doing very well, way beyond any bank or ISA payout. Just lucky I guess!

Neither of us have ever won anything.

I like the Premium bonds.  We have small wins every month. Nothing big, just multiples of £25.  -- Much better returns than depositing the money in a bank or building society account. 

Those  "bankers" have ruined savings accounts with their miserly 0.5% interest. Doesn't even keep pace with inflation.

Premium bonds for me !!

We've had a good income from p bonds. I gradually bought them over the years. As they are government backed they'd be the last to go in a crisis.

You need to dump savings accounts ans switch to nterest paying current accounts.

Some pay 3%.

I used to have some premium bonds but eventually cashed them in.  Won very little over a very long period of time.

I live in hope of a visit from Agent Million. 

I'm the same. Don't have many but have never ever won anything.

OH and I have bonds and either one or the other or both of us win most months so, for us, it's reasonable.
