Stage 1: Get £250 for switching to the HSBC Premier Current Account

Stage 2: Get £500 for transferring £100k+ of savings or investments over

NEW: Lloyds Bank Switch: £250 Cashback

Lloyds have gone soft on us, last time they had a switching offer you couldn’t have had a bonus since 2020 - this one is open provided you haven’t received a bonus since 2023!

1. Switch to a paid Lloyds current account (Club Lloyds is cheapest)

2. Ensure 3+ active direct debits are transferred across

3. Receive £250 within 40 days

IT’S BACK: Santander S&S ISA Cashback (£50)

A few months back there was a very popular cashback offer that got pulled within days for Santander’s Stocks & Shares ISA

It is now back again on TopCashback paying £50 when you open an account via their website and invest £100 as a lump sum or set up a £20 recurring monthly investment

Revolut: Get £40 from me!

If you haven’t got a Revolut account, I’m currently paying £40 cashback when you jump through some hoops before 27 January 2026:

2. Sign up through this referral link

3. Make 3 purchases using your card (virtual or physical) of £5+ each time

4. Order a physical card (costs £4.99)

5. Let me know once above steps complete and once verified I’ll pay you £40 via bank transfer within 48 hours

Ways to do this offer:

• Use the card for normal spending and make £35.01 profit

• Spend on things you don’t need and make ~£20 profit

Mettle: Free £50

Mettle is a part of the NatWest family offering free bank accounts for businesses, sole traders, and side hustlers

As a sole trader, I have used their services since 2021 and continue to use them as my main business bank account, and for good reason!

They have a referral scheme that will give you £50 cash when you open a bank account with them. So if 2026 is the year you are starting a side hustle, already have an existing business or just fancy the £50 - this offer could be for you!

There is no credit facility so there will be no impact on your credit score

This week you can get a FREE bag of Taste The Difference mixed nuts - this does not work at small high street stores and there were technical issues yesterday!

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!
