Just got a few family members interested in signing up for a free £25.
I think they would need to fund £500 a month like I do but at over £100 interest per year it's stress free money!
Seems that none of my friends are as financially savvy as I :)

    After reading some of the horror stories about transferring, and A&L's snowballing customer service (bringing it in line with Santander's operation), your friends are probably more financially savvy than you think.
    Anything I post is my opinion, so from time to time I may be wrong. I try to provide answers based in fact, however I don't know everything, so (like all posters on MSE), take what I say with a pinch of salt.

    Or perhaps they'll just sign up themselves and bag the £100?

    Now that would be savvy ;)

    Ah well there's no requirement to switch jambosans,
    not sure what you mean UNDERGROUND - how do you bag £100? EDIT - to switch, to switch!

    Or they can get £50 if they apply via topcashback.

    Indeed :)

    I made £200 out of them altogether, £100 A&L cashback, £50 from TopCashback, and another £50 from A&L as compensation for screwing up my credit card DD.
