Something a bit different
Cashback offers
In this section, we will show you how you can get cashback without spending a penny! There are two main cashback sites within the UK; TopCashback and Quidco.
TopCashback:
If you don’t currently have a TC account you can support The Bank Engine by signing up through this link.*
These are the current offers which you can do without spending any money:
Get £4 for signing up for Experian Boost and boost your credit score
Get £14.70 Cashback for sending £10 to yourself (Can use a TransferWise account)
Sign up for a free trial of Sage and earn £9.07 cashback
Download the Nielsen app and receive £10 - it tracks what you do so maybe not one for everyone, earn £10 for the first month and £5 for every month after; could do it on an old phone perhaps?
Results: A potential £37.77 extra for 20 mins work - Please note that TopCashback can take months to credit your cashback so please be patient.
Quidco
Similar to TC, if you fancy supporting us please use our link to sign up here; you will also get an extra £5 reward once you earn £5 cashback.
These are the offers where you won’t need to part with any cash:
£44 Cashback - Open a TSB Spend & Save bank account and meet the terms
https://www.quidco.com/tsb-current-account/?ucb=6f390bf8ca8d4c3437b99acec5c37aed
£15 Cashback - Transfer over £150 to yourself (foreign currency account like TransferWise
There are hundreds of great offers on Quidco but the above are the options we would suggest, if you want more free cash back check out all the offers under the Finance category as there are usually a good few.
Please note, your credit score will fall if you open a new TSB account and the Azimo offer may require some legwork.
The potential cashback here including the £5 bonus would be £64
Therefore, if you completed all of the above offers this should put you £101.77 ahead once all your cashback is settled. Please be patient with receiving the cashback but chase both sites if you do not receive this within 3 months.
Please note that these offers are all active at the time of writing, however they may be pulled quite quickly. If you click the links and they do not work, please let us know and we will give you a £5 Amazon voucher as a thank you for helping to keep this guide up-to-date.
