Pound to £5k

EDITION 136

I hope that you have all had a good week and are enjoying the slightly cooler weather and some much needed rain!

Not caught up on my previous emails? You might have missed a golden opportunity from the last few weeks - tap the link below to view them!

“FREE MONEY”

Zopa - Check your benefits

I was messing around in my Zopa account this morning and noticed a “Benefits” section on the home page which I clicked into out of interest

There was a button that said “Switch my benefits” which appeared to give me the choice between three boosted benefits on the Biscuit account which were:

• 1.75% interest boost on current account

• 3% cashback on direct debits

• 3% cashback on eating out

It also noted that there is a free hand-crafted Caffè Nero drink each month

I was completely unaware of this so wanted to share this with you!

This appears to be for selected customers only but worth looking!

Robinhood - Free Share worth up to $175 + £15 from me (LAST WEEK)

Robinhood is a commission-free investing app used by millions in the US and new UK customers who open an account through my link can get a free share worth between $7 and $175 for depositing just £1

Complete this offer through my link and send me a message once you have received your free share with your name; as long as this tracks against my referrals I’ll send you another £15 on top!

This bonus cashback from me is only available until the end of August 2026

Klarna - FREE £30 (Increased)

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 £10+ 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 £20 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 £20 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

Trading 212 - Free Share worth up to £100

Trading 212 is one of Europe’s largest commission-free investing apps that I have been using since 2020 and is my main investing app used for my 5-figure portfolio

New customers who open an investing account or ISA through my link can get a free share worth up to £100 when you deposit £1+

AD - The Bank Engine is an affiliate partner of Trading 212 and will receive a commission if you open an account through my link - Capital is at risk

“FREEBIES”

National Burger Day - Thursday 27 August

Who knew there was a national burger day? Well here are some tasty offers worth knowing about as we approach the day:

FIVE GUYS

Buy One Get One Free on burgers on Thursday 27 August

You just need to join FIVE GUYS Rewards before this date, you should also get free fries when you join & additional rewards on each visit afterwards

Wendy’s

First 50 Customers get a FREE burger on 27 August

Simply be amongst the first 50 to walk through the door of 47 participating Wendy’s locations on Thursday and you’ll get a FREE Wendy’s Single

Bleecker

20% OFF all burgers (in-person) on 27 August

There is also a limited edition burger they are selling on this day

FREE Pizza 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 regular Sainsbury’s pizza - this does not work at small high street stores (this isn’t the bigger ones they have been putting through the app in prior offers - these are standard pizzas)

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!

£5 Co-Op Pizza & Ice Cream Deal Is Back

If you aren’t a Sky customer and fancy a pizza, you can get your hands on 2 x pizzas and a tub of Ben & Jerry’s for just £5 at participating Co-Op stores across the UK (£6 for non-Co-Op-members)

FREE Diet Coke / Coke Zero at Costa

Coca-Cola have launched a new loyalty scheme (I don’t really know why!)

However, when you sign up as a new customer you’ll get 10 free “Club” points when using the code “THECLUB10” which is enough to redeem a 500ml bottle of Diet Coke or Coke Zero at participating Costa locations

Pint of Thatchers - Buy One Get One Free

There are currently 14,000 free pints left on this scheme!

Check the link below for your nearest participating location, and grab yourself a free pint when you buy another!

Drink responsibly
