still hoping

4
easy enough to buy although you have to hold them for a full month before they go in the draw. Its a bit of fun rather than a proper investment but the money is safe and theres always a chance of a big win Reviewed on: 24th December 2015

easy to buy but you don't go into the draw until you have held bonds for over 1 month. There is always the chance of a big win and your money is safe Reviewed on: 31st August 2015

A little return with a bit of fun

4
Having held premium bonds for a number of years my return is around 1-1.5% per year on my holding.I enjoy getting the cheques for £25 and the hope i may win a better prize but there are certainly better deals around if you want better rates, but for most the thrill is worth the small loss in interest.

Easy to buy, but you don't go in the draw until you have held them for over 1 month. Chance of winning anything big is really small Reviewed on: 30th August 2015
