Interest is paid when redeeming the bond.

Yup. Great option if you know you'll need the cash in 1-2 years. I bought some to replace my emergency fund once it frees up.

My long term investment is still index funds though, as it should be.

Is there a con to this? Could I lose money? Sorry don’t know much about bonds but I’m very interested

No con. The downside is losing 3 months of interest if you withdraw between 1 and 5 years. The interest rate alone makes that a wash.
