Was thinking premium bonds but recently found out if you put money in them now you won't be in the draw until 1st November - might only get 1 draw in that time. So is it just a matter of the highest interest savings account that lets me withdraw the money in a few months' time with no penalty? Might only get 1pc for that. Or a CASH Isa. Any advice?

Go to savings etc. |

You won't get much in this day and age, expecially for a few months, after tax etc. If you go for Cash ISA then check penalty causes.

1pc = £60-£90 I guess. just seems a waste in a current account where I get £5 a month regardless.

I can give you all the advice . I locked some up at 4.5% 2.5 years ago, I was told I was mad at the time but not worked out that way!

In 2 or 3 months I would turn that into £50,000 ... put it into betfair and lay something thats a 100% certainty, that will keep i hidden for a few months

Go with premium bonds put £ 30' 000 in won £1000 first month
(Or second month which ever way you luck at it )just got £25 for September, better than the bank or under your bed  |

By:
Why don't you invest it in gambling or trading. I could turn 35000 in to 70000 in 3 months with ease.

Does seem a strange query for a BETFAIRman. 3months in savings pays - what - £43ish?
That's beaten by 50p/day Betfair. No brainer imo. |

No way I'm punting with it. Might just put it in premium bonds but only get 1 or 2 draws. Actually that is kind of punting.

Put it on a Hawks Swans Grand Final quinella. It's not punting, it's finding money in the street.

id do a bit of research on a few shares....making sure you get a dividend in or trade off on the back off a ex dividend date.

AA pays 1.4% .....Premium Bonds average circa 1% but you might get nothing
or a million. |

Various solid shares pay decent divis. Buy London Metric anytime before December and pick up 7% and then sell hopefully for a capital appreciation as well.

Shares are not for 3 months more like 5 to 15 years.
Premium bonds a safe punt but you might get nothing. Banks interest over 3 months probably not worth the bother Better repaying any credit cards you have |

*sorry 3.5% in December. 3.5% next July.
Bit longer than the OP wants to wait. |
