That was exactly my experience as I illustrated in a previous post

My ( slightly more than)£20,000 of pb’s yielded £300 in prize money in 2018.

I have some cash in an isa which I am using to renovate a property. Once the renovation is finished early nexy year I will transfer the remainder in to pb’s!!

February

2 x £25

455

Ok am back but maybe not for long.

Removed 20K from my ISA which gave me a return of £150 for the year at an interest rate of .75 meaning I got an extra £150 on my holding of £20k

With it bought a 20k t Bond to add to my holding of £20k which gives me an intertrest rate of1.45%

Last month won £50

This month won a £100.

To get the Interest paid on PBs will still have to win £625 to break even

This will also negate the holdings I owned before I bought the other £20k.

456

Well done Galty! :slight_smile:

457

I have managed stock market ISA 's which I have to say I get a much better return on but of course its riskier. I bought a few premium bonds last January 2018 only 5k and I haven’t had any return so far…I probably didn’t buy enough.

458

£75 this month ( 3x25)

459

1 x £25 for february so that’s £50 so far in 2019…all goes back in to more bonds!

Yes it will be interesting to see how you get on.

Ive got £20k ( slightly over that ) and earned £300 on pbs in 2018…That is DOUBLE the amount I would have got on a cash isa.

£50 so far in 2019 means I’m on track to match 2018.

I will be putting a bit more in when I finish a property renovation I’m doing which I will then holiday let in the Scottish Borders ( nearly finished). I set a budget for the renovation but should come in about 5k under so will put that in I should think…
As I earn money on my holiday let I will increase my holding to the max…PB’s are fun!
