Prize Bonds are looking attractive alternatives to deposits

Nothing for me again today,,,Really disheartened the last few months...Had plans to cash in but fell through and now I will have no choice but to look for better return for my money. Since prize funds dropped the return is dismal...Same amount invested as the ghoul all in one batch but its been a month since a win and only the odd 50 now... Glad some of you are faring out a bit better...
 
At the rate (pun) rates are dropping on deposits, any return at all from Prize Bonds will make them a winner (pun) in the future no? After all, there's only so low the prizes can go before they won't get away with calling them prize bonds.

Yea....I agree no win since last year on E25K so I've stopped buying anymore and I'm taking out what I have for some half decent return elsewhere. At this stage it's a no brainer.
 
Yes i think prizebonds are a no no for the moment.....If you shop around 1 to 2% is possible from some banks.

Nothing again,,,,As usual....Was hoping they would read my post last week and would deliver today,,,,that plan did not work..
 
I'm quite happy at the moment, postman. Since the reduction in the prize fund in November 2014 I've won 950 euros in 24 draws on 175k - I make that as a return of 1.18%. The best instant access or 7 day notice in the best buys at the moment seems to be 1.5% which is obviously a gross rate.
 
Nothing today,,,50 last week.. 6 months return since prize fund reduced 0.7%...I know rates are bad in general but there must be a better return available out there...
Well done to million winner today,,,, Nice return on a bond purchased in Feb...
 
well..at long last,,50 euro today,,,,so at least my bonds are in there,,Was beginning to think they had evaporated.
Well done The Ghoul..Hope your run continues and youre prizes are going in right direction.....up..
