Pound to £5k Challenge

Edition 73

It seems like the sunshine is never-ending at the moment, and I can only hope that the steady stream of free money offers continues in the same vein, if you spot any offers that I have missed please send them to me!

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!

£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!

A Different Way to SAVE

We all love a good deal, but there are lots of ways to get them that many of us are unaware of. One of which, I came across this week and thought it would be helpful to share with you all:

WeDonate.io

This is a relatively new startup that rewards blood donors with discounts and freebies across hundreds of the UK’s leading brands as a thank you for donating blood

They don’t reward on a “per donation” basis so if you have a donor card to hand from even a while ago you may be able to sign up and receive access to their offers

A recent one that they have added to the system is a free main course at Bella Italia when members buy a drink

Not affiliate with WeDonate, nor recommending donation of blood, but I thought this was a really great idea that may provide many of you with more offers!

ASDA Scan to Win

To celebrate ASDA’s 60th birthday, when you scan ASDA Rewards card in-store or use it online and spend £5+ you will be entered to win a guaranteed “Birthday reward” which could be:

• 60p cashpot prize (cash)

• £6 cashpot prize (cash)

• £60 cashpot prize (cash)

• £600 cashpot prize (cash)

• £6,000 cashpot prize (cash)

• 60p off coupon

• £6 off coupon

• £60 off coupon

These are available instantly after you complete your transaction

ASDA Kids Food Offer Drop

ASDA has famously kept its “Kids Eat for £1” deal going for a while but to celebrate their birthday month have gone even further and for the entirety of May (including the half term break) kids eat for 60p in 205 cafés

The Free Share Offer You May Have Missed

The Trading 212 and Robinhood free share offers (below) are incredibly popular and for good reason as they offer an easy way to get a free share!

InvestEngine is a commission-free investing platform similar to Trading 212 but does not offer individual stocks, just ETFs

If you open an account with InvestEngine via my link and invest £100 in an ETF you will receive a free ETF worth £20-£100

The only difference with this one is that you must keep the £100 + Free ETF invested for 12 months

50% off at Frankie & Benny’s

If you are expecting to go to Frankie & Benny’s soon, you can get your hands on a £30 gift voucher for just £15 via the link below

It is one-time use and can be used Monday-Sunday on food and drinks

40% off at All Bar One

This week, you can get a code in the All Bar One loyalty app to get 40% off mains and small plates until 22 May

The app also gives other rewards including £20 off when you spend £40, although I can’t imagine these two offers can be combined!

Credit Card Rewards - Get paid for spending

With Summer around the corner, many of you will be spending a pretty penny on Summer holidays and you could be getting more back in your pocket!
