Ing Direct offer 4.3% interest at the moment. *THINK* that this is the best Savings Account out there at the moment....

Premium bods. At least you'll have a chance of getting a little more or even a little less back than when you started. But your money is safe and youll have a bit of fun wondering whether youll win or not.


I did it with 20k and got 5% return in 4 months.

Premium Bonds all the time

ok thanks ill look into premium bonds then.

so the basic gen is 2% ish interest on them plus for every £1 you hold it gets put in a draw to win a prize.

you buy them at post office, and can cash them in by writing to them and they will post a cheque out.

does that sound about right?

have people won much with them?

I would have got more over the past year from a bank.
But i have had the chance to win a million.
I have the full amount in my name and my sons name. I check on the internet each month and find that its someone from Manchester with a holding of £300 thats won the million !


Oh well, ive never been a lucky person !

Good luck,


Ps ive also got an accont with ING and have always got a good service / rate from them !

how did you get a higher % chip, did you have to walk into the post office with 20K
i've got an ing account, its good but i would prefer it if you could transfer money to anyone instead of just to your own linked bank account,

I was just lucky. In the 4 months I got nothing for 3 then 4 wins in the last monthof varying amounts.
