How can I look for old Premium Bonds in the United Kingdom?
Bond holders should keep in mind that the winnings do not expire, so you can check your history to see if you’ve won before.
If you haven’t checked in a while, double-check that your account has been updated with your current address and proper information.
Another option for checking your bonds is to download the prize checker app and log in with your holder’s number. If you forget your phone number, call the NS&I at 08085 007 007 (UK) or +44 1253 832007 (outside the UK) and ask for assistance.
If you prefer to ask by mail, you can write to NS&I and ask them to provide you the prize history for your bonds.
Send the letter to NS&I, Glasgow, G58 1SB, with your name, address, NS&I number, or Premium Bonds holder’s number.
Is there any value in premium savings bonds?
- Have a large sum of money to set aside (the more bonds you have, the bigger your chance of winning a prize)
- Interest on savings is taxed (and have already used up your annual cash ISA allowance)
- The concept of a prize draw appeals to me (you could win big, but you also may not win anything)
It all boils down to your personality. Do you get a nice feeling from the element of surprise? What if you didn’t win anything? How would you feel?
