Pound to £5k Challenge

Week Twenty-Nine

WEEK TWENTY-NINE

This week we saw a rather rare offer come back to the table, this is one that most of you won’t have done before (myself included) yet it’s worth a whopping £175

I know lots of people are still joining this mailing list every week! Whilst some of these offers are now gone, I have been working hard to secure partnerships which mean offers are available all year round

So be sure to start your journey on the Pound to £5k Challenge below!

BARCLAYS BANK SWITCH: £175

If you’ve been working your way through this challenge, you will know that some of the easiest offers are the bank switches and they are one of my personal favourites

A few months ago, I thought I had marked off the last one available to me in the form of the TSB bank switch. However, this week we saw the return of the very rare Barclays bank switch so you can imagine my excitement to add another to the list!

This one only appears once in a blue moon so it’s well worth jumping on if you can at the moment, here’s how it works:

1. Open a Sole account via the Barclays app

2. Switch in an account from another bank with 2+ direct debits

3. Join Blue Rewards (costs £5/month but can get this paid back)

4. Pay in £800+

5. Receive £175 cash within 28 days of meeting all criteria

£5 OFF £30 LIDL SPEND

This is only valid until midnight tonight, but if you have the Lidl Plus app enter the code “FINAL5” and you will get a voucher for £5 off a £30 spend to use before Sunday 14 July 2024

This excludes alcohol and a few other items so check the T&Cs

£4 CASHBACK APP BONUS

Cheddar are a cashback similar to EverUp & JamDoughnut as you can buy gift cards and earn cashback on them

There are also a limited number of offers that will automatically track when you spend at stores and online (you don’t have to buy gift cards)

The rates aren’t usually as good as the other two apps but they are okay

However, factor in the £4 bonus when you buy a gift card in 14 days & it will soon outweigh the lower cashback rates

You can withdraw the cash to your bank once you reach £5 so one voucher at most stores and you will probably reach the fiver (including your bonus)

1. Download the Cheddar app

2. Enter the code ENGINE3

3. Buy a gift card within 2 weeks

4. Earn cashback + a £4 bonus
