Premium Bonds - too much coincidence?

Well if interest rates goes down to zilch it might be worth an extra  punt!

Will wait meantime then, we are still getting at least 3% tax free, at least it is reliable, if not that great!

Were getting 3% on three current accounts plus cash back, and 5% on current account together with 5% on two regular saver accounts. Fee for the accounts but more than offset against the interest/casback.  If/when these end I reckon there won't be much out there so premium bonds could be worth an investment. At least your money is supposed to be available and safe!!!

Just checked and OH has won £125 and I've got £100 this month.  

You were very lucky, Jill

My father in law has the maximum 50,000 bonds and he won £25 this month....and nowt last month!

To be honest Ian, I also have the max and OH has slightly less.  We were told when we purchased them that we could expect regular wins but some months it's only £25.  Little and often will do but a few noughts on the end would be wonderful.

Most we've had was £1,000 but that was over 10 years ago.

We had a few £100's and a lot of £50's in the days when that was the smallest prize. Now all we ever get is £25's (and same with father in law).

Aahh well......one day!

Talk on TV today of the base rate being cut to 0.25%.  Not sounding good for savers!

The falling pound is doing wonders for the sterling value of my apartment in Spain. It's an ill wind and all that jazz.

Every time Carney opens his mouth, tbe pound slips a bit more. I do wish he'd keep quiet!
