How's your luck with Premium Bonds?

[Collectors]

Sold my 20K & got a 5% ISA that gives £1k a year. I have only been getting £500-740 per year on winnings.

Where and when did you get a 5% ISA from?

I can get 4.5% if I lock it away for 5 years, but rates will probably go up soon as inflation starts to rise.

I only got 4.41% over a year when I renewed one with Virgin last week.

That's not bad, I got 4.3% over 1 year, I could have got more for locking it in for longer, but as I said, I reckon the rates will rise.

I would have liked to have had it over a longer perion, but Virgin only seem to be doin yearly ISAs.

I don’t know of anywhere giving 5% on an isa. When and where did you get it, is it a fixed bond and how long is it for?

We both got 5% on a 15 month bond from nationwide but only allowed to put £10k in.

None of those are ISA's though and the Chase boosted savings is for new customers and a limited time AFAIK.

Still waiting for news from @Collectors about the 5% ISA unless it’s a closely guarded secret for some reason?

Looking back, I see that he was saying he had his £20k in premium bonds only last November. He says he’s taken it out and bought an ISA since then. I can’t recall any institutions paying anything near 5% on an ISA since then. Can anyone?

 

[motorbiking]

maybe he meant a tracker or perhaps he rounded 3% up to 5.

I don't think anyone would argue PBs are a better idea than maxing your ISA.
