[Finance] Premium Bonds - prize pool increased again - you ever have any luck?

[DJ NOBO]

Yes, yes it is. Bit of golden shower about it.

I wonder if that escaped the notice of the PB execs when the video got okayed.

 

[Beach Hut]

£350 between us this month

The whole point of Premium Bonds is enjoying the prospect of winning big prizes.

Any financial advisor would tell you that, unless you have exhausted all your other tax free alternatives, they are not the best place to put your money. Even then, your money would probably be better invested in other ways.

Premium Bonds, firstly and foremost, are a FUN and EXCITING way to safely secure your money.

I think you've probably misunderstood the whole thing, you miserable git, with your pointless contribution to this thread.

Better than that. Most financial advisers will tell you it’s a safe, tax-efficient component of a portfolio with a reasonable chance of a decent return (as well as the potential ‘big win’ excitement)

It is, but none of them would advise you to use Premium Bonds before maxing out your £20k ISA allowance every year.

After £1100 in April, £100 in May is a bit of a comedown

 

[knocky1]

7 Golden Showers for us totalling £350.

 

[Denis]

£200 this month with 28k holding.

 

[Coldeanseagull]

£425 between us

 

[mejonaNO12 aka riskit]

Nothing for my £75 holding. Increased from £25. I simply can't see what more I can do......other than put more in.

 

[HAILSHAM SEAGULL]

£200 for me and Mrs HS won £100, so a reasonable monthly return

 

[GJN1]

Sod all this month, despite a near max holding. Bloody scam.

 

[saafend_seagull]

£0, £175, £175 last 3 months on £50k. 2.8% net of tax about right

 

[birthofanorange]

£350 between us this month, which isn't too bad.

 

[Marshy]

tickled along with another £75 this month. Always happy with anything despite a large holding.

 

[WildWood]

4 wins totalling £275 with maximum holding.

 

[arewethereyet?]

£0.00 on zero holding as now in an ISA and glad it is, got totally disillusioned with PB’s

 

[Insel affe]

£500.00 this month for a max holding

 

[Ding Dong !]

That's now 2 months on the bounce with Nada, Niente, zip, f*ck all............................with a £47K holding !!!

 

[Si Gull]

£0 for me, £0 for Ms Gull, £100 for my mum who yet again outperforms us, despite having the same holding (and much less need of a decent return than us)

 

[Steve in Japan]

Sweet Fanny Adams - again
