    €50 x2 this week.

    Was told on Friday we're all to be made redundant in work, so its nice to get a double on the PBs.

    Hope one of us 'Boardsies' wins the 1m on the 23rd!
    We're counting on the infamous Glitch!!!!

    Sorry to hear that Andrew, never nice to hear particularly coming up to Christmas. Was it Mylan? Hopefully you won't be left idle for long, and it may even be a blessing in disguise for you in the long run.

    Thanks Agent Smyth & Cute Hoor.
    Yeah, you're right, that's the place, it's a sad loss for the area.

    Had unfollowed this thread because I was getting so few wins.

    Anyway, came home today to a €50 cheque.

    First win on about 35k of bonds since June 2019.

    :rolleyes:

    Hi Folks,
    Looking at PB's, there is a lot more options on the website than I thought

    Can anymore help me out? I thought the weekly draw was the only return from PBs but some of the plans include a AER rate

    If I want to have the flexibility to withdraw at anytime I guess the Prize Bonds for Me is the best option? How does that differ from the book based deposit account?

    EDIT - Just realized the others are savings plans, not prize bonds. All makes sense now

    Nothing this week, just a question I've been login to the prize bond tracker on the phone and this ''cookie page'' keeps sliding across the State Saving website, so I just click ''allow all'' to get rid of it, anybody else experience this very irritating.

    Yup, keeps appearing multiple times no matter how many times I accept.

    Enter webpage, pops up, hit accept
    Enter username, pops up, hit accept
    Enter password, pops up, hit accept

    Every time. Very annoying. Good luck if you get password wrong on first attempt also, you'll have to accept it a 4th time then.

    No wins for me, but it's very early days in my Prize Bond fun.

    Has anyone ever not received their new prize bond receipt and what did they end up doing in the end? I ordered on 24th November but it hasn't arrived, I was putting it down to An Post seasonal delays, but an order I placed on 8th December arrived today. So now I am worried. I have contacted them through the website (Wednesday and today actually) but not expecting a quick answer.

    Thanks

    Was this an online purchase and if so did you get any error message ? Was the money taken from your account at the time the order was processed ? The online purchase system is quite unreliable and has been failing regularly for some time now. The prize bond company’s administration appears to be in a chaotic state. I suggest your ring them first thing Monday morning, get names, dates and times and make a note of any commitments they give. Follow up frequently.

    It was online yes, but it all went through fine. I got the confirmation email (with a reference number) and the money was taken from my account immediately. I will try to give them a shout on Monday. Thanks

    I'm the same, bought bonds recently and haven't received them. I kept a screenshot of the confirmation online. Was planning on chasing them in January if not landed by then.

    Usually takes up to 2 weeks for me to get them. The bond is dated the week prior too.
