Having read this thread I have decided to buy 1k worth of bonds, was also thinking of buying €50 a week, would the €50 be subject to the three month wait or would it just be added to the 1k?

you'd be much better off putting it in a savings account judging by these returns

I was going to get a loan a buy a car, instead I have decided to save, so it will be only in savings short term, may as well have it in prize bonds as in rabodirect.

How much did you win? I won 75 a few weeks ago and it said the same but I got a cheque in the post the following week without sending them anything.

Found this thread by accident (great stuff I have to say) and I thought to myself - I haen't seen many ads for Prize bonds in a while - you have singlehandedly raised their revenue and lowered their ad budget lol - every few posts people are buying PBs. You should ask for commision:)

Off to get me some lol..

Keep up the good work.

If I were you, I would check the winning numbers against the amount, and find out how much I won.

I would be reluctant to send any bond away in the post. Check it out first.

Congrats, by the way ! Hope its a good amount !
