£10 SumUp Referral and Cashback

You may remember a while back when I spoke about SumUp, well they are back and better than ever with a lot more to offer than just a referral scheme

SumUp are now offering 5% cashback when spending at over 4 million small businesses who use a SumUp to accept card payments. This is capped at £10 a month

They are also offering 2% cashback every time you shop at a supermarket so you can save even more on your food shop

Spend anywhere else and get 0.5% cashback (excl. account top-ups, etc.)

Not a SumUp customer?

1. Message me the word ‘SUMUP’ for a referral code

2. Sign up using the referral code

3. Make 3 in-store card payments totalling at least £10

4. The bonus will be paid within 30 days

Klarna - FREE £25

It is no secret that I do not love Klarna, their overall tactics and position in the Buy Now Pay Later market is something that doesn’t sit right with me

However, they have launched a new debit card referral scheme which is worth looking at in isolation

This works for existing customers who do not have a debit card with them

How to get £25

1. Message me “KLARNA” on Instagram for a referral link

2. Enter your email address at the link I send you

3. Create an account and sign up for the Klarna Card

4. Add this card to a digital wallet (Apple Pay, Google Pay, etc.)

5. Spend £5+ 3 times with the card

   • Top-ups no longer work and this must be made up of legitimate spending (I suggest splitting your grocery shop into 3 transactions at the self-checkout)

6. You will receive £10 into your “cashback” pot

7. Redeem this into your card

8. Message me when you’ve done this and I will pay you £15 on top

9. You can then spend the £10 on the card or top up Revolut, etc and close the account should you wish

10. You should also be able to refer your family and friends to complete the same, earning £40 per referral (capped at 10)

According to Klarna’s own terms and conditions, there will be no impact on your credit score when applying for the Klarna Card which is a debit card product

Please note that my decision is final and the £15 bonus will only be paid once the owner of the referral link receives their referral bonus and anyone who appears to be attempting to ruin the good nature of this offer will not be paid, £15 cashback will be paid by bank transfer

FREE Sweets for Sky Customers

Sky have been releasing weekly gifts for their Sky VIP customers (simply download the MySky app and you’ll get access)

This week you can get a free packet of Sainsbury’s sweets (normally £1.35) - this does not work at small high street stores

You only get 60 minutes to scan the barcode from activating it so don’t activate too early and assume you’ll need help from a colleague as they can be temperamental to scan yourselves! I would recommend heading to a self-scan till rather than a scan as you shop till as the barcode readers are more receptive of the moving barcodes!

Not a Sky customer? If you’re thinking about joining Sky, you can get a bonus if you sign up through a referral link. Message me for mine!
