I'm so happy

I usually don't write comments, I just read some few reviews and go my way, but it will be a heartless act seeing people talk about their ugly experience about scam brokers and not share my experience how ( jamesRodriguez)(@)(Cyber-wizard) DT( com) got my funds back Reviewed on: 25th November 2024

Interesting savings option

I like the idea of premium bonds, though I’ve not yet won. I consider it a free lottery. Reviewed on: 13th March 2024

Good return

Good return monthly with upper savings limit. Tax free and money is safe and easily accessible if needed Reviewed on: 23rd February 2024

Free lottery.

Premium Bonds are the one everyone knows when it comes to NS&I, with a limit of £50,000 and no guaranteed return they might not be for everyone but your money is 100% safe from financial collapse of institutions and the winnings are 100% tax free so if you're likely to pay tax on interest then Premium Bonds may be for you. The monthly lottery can be an exciting moment of surprise for those with the right temperament not to be disappointed if they're unlucky. Reviewed on: 27th January 2024

Disgraceful customer services.

premium bond

we have the total holding for over two years both of us normally get circa £25 win per month sometimes nothing we believe ours is a token gesture to keep us quite Reviewed on: 10th October 2023

OK if you have stew cash to spare

No big wins yet, but there are very small wins most months that keep my interest going Reviewed on: 9th October 2023

Never won

1
I am nearly 55 x years old and have never won and neither has my sister. These were bought when we were born. Although I agree it is a small amount, it was however a gift amount back in the day. Very disappointed to say the least. The login system is difficult to navigate and I have made 2 x phone calls now to try and sort, there is a further mail shot coming out to me shortly. Not sure I will bother, seems pointless. Reviewed on: 4th October 2023

Small winnings but better return than an ISA

5
We have won many small prizes on Premium Bonds Reviewed on: 30th August 2023
