NEW Bank Switch worth up to £350

I’m not TSB’s biggest fan but the bank switch offer I last did with them gave me a hotel stay on top of cash; granted it probably wasn’t the best hotel I’ve ever stayed in and I wouldn’t go back their but free is free!

Well, this offer is WAY better than the one I did and here’s why:

Switch Today - Get £140 Cash

TSB are paying £100 when you switch to them and log into their app and make 5+ debit card transactions before 19 July, easy right…?

Super easy, but go through Quidco today (25 May) and you can get £30 cashback for doing so and a £10 bonus if you opt-in today

TopCashback are also offering £20 cashback so make sure you go through a cashback site!

Get £90 over the rest of 2025

The slight pickle with getting your hands on the next chunk of cash is the monthly requirements to make 20+ debit card payments per month

This can be tricky but I believe debit card payments into apps like Trading 212, Chip, etc. should trigger the bonuses of £15 per month for 6 months

£120 to spend with Expedia!

Separate to the above monthly bonuses, but similar - if you spend 20+ times in December 2025 you will receive the choice of two gifts:

• £120 Travel Credit with Expedia to spend on your next trip

• 12 Months access to UK-wide activities

FREE Cocktail at The Alchemist

The Alchemist has launched a new menu and to celebrate this are giving you a chance to test one of four new cocktails for FREE, choose between:

• Berry Bellini

• Cherry Bomb

• Shade Switcher

• The Antidote

All you need to do to get this for free is fill in your details at the link below!

FREE Cider

Thatchers appear to still be running their FREE Juicy Apple Cider offer as well, which is perfect for a hot Bank Holiday weekend

Drink responsibly

FREE Fruit at Lidl

BEST FREE MONEY OFFERS

£30 for EXISTING Chip Customers

Chip is a savings and investment app that I have used on-and-off for a number of years and even own shares in the company behind it (purchased in a previous crowdfunding round)

Well, you can get £30 from them as an existing customer as long as:

1. You have NEVER opened an investment account (Stocks & Shares ISA or General Investment Account) with Chip, OR;

2. You had a balance of £0.00 in your investment account(s) as of 12 May 2025

All you need to do to get your hands on £30 is:

1. Deposit at least £100 into a Stocks & Shares ISA or General Investment Account before 23:59 GMT on 22 May 2025

2. Invest your £100 in a fund and wait until 30 June 2025 when you will receive your reward (either cash or a gift card)

Not a Chip customer? Get £60

The above is a great offer for existing customers, but it’s even better if you are a new customer as this can be coupled with their current referral scheme!

The current referral scheme means that you can get £30 as a new customer for doing the following:

1. Send me the word “CHIP” via Instagram DM or reply to this email

2. Follow my referral link that I send across to you

3. Create an account and open a Chip Instant Access savings account

4. Deposit £500+ into the Instant Access account

5. Keep your balance for 30 days

6. Receive a £30 bonus once done

Once you create an account as part of step 3 you are an existing customer and can, therefore, take part in the £30 investing offer!

£10 from SumUp Pay app

You have probably heard of SumUp before as the mass-market card readers used by loads of small businesses across the UK

Well, they’ve also launched a card that pays 0.5% cashback on transactions BUT they’re paying a £10 sign-up bonus through referrals

1. Message me “SUMUP” for a referral link

2. Download the app and sign up

3. Verify your ID

4. Enter a referral code (I will give to you in step 1)

5. Within 30 days, make 3+ card payments of £10+ (combined)

6. You will receive a £10 bonus for doing so!

7. You can then also refer friends and family for £10 each

$7 - $175 FREE Share from Robinhood when you Deposit £1+

Get a FREE Share from Trading 212 worth up to £100 from a £1+ Deposit (AD)
