"Warrants"...Government speak for cheque, basically. Usually don't have the same 12 month validity as a cheque though, normally stated on it: 1 month, 3 month etc.

6 months for cheques but if it expires you are entitled to get the issuer to write another one up to 6 years from the transaction date
PB prizes don't expire ever

It's taken a while, but NS&I has boosted the prize rate on Premium Bonds from next month, up from 1% to 1.4%.

Premium Bonds ‘highest-paying option’
Premium Bonds will become the “highest-paying savings account in the UK”, said The Times, after National Savings & Investments increased the return on the monthly draw to its highest level since 2008. From next month, the more than 22m Premium Bonds holders can expect to earn 3% a year, up from 2.2%, beating the best easy-access savings account on the market, 2.9% from Buckinghamshire Building Society. There will be more prizes but the odds of any individual £1 bond winning a prize will remain at 24,000-1.

sounds good to me. risk of falling short of alternative accounts on the market, of course, but 3% is handy, and it's far more fun.
