    Hi, can I join?

    I was a member years ago but unfortunately fell off the savings wagon :(.

    I'm aiming for a conservative £2000. 

    I'm hoping to utilise a lot of offers to gain 'free cash' if that makes sense?

    If its helps anyone, I got a free £10 for downloading sum up. No catches and no referral links. Had the cash within minutes.

    I also have money pending for chip which is one of those savings apps linked to your bank account.

    Unfortunately the £20 offer ended last night but you can still get £10 which is decent. Again no catches but it is a referral link thats required. Happy to share mine if anyone wants it (£10 to each party- full transparency).

    Nationwide also have a switch offer, £150 paid in June 2022. I think the sign up needs to be done before 7th April and it needs a £1250 deposit before 12th May. New customers only. 

    I hope that helps someone, especially in the post Xmas slump. 

    So my current total is £10/£2000 with some pending. 

    Have a great day :smile:

    It will. I messaged slowlyfading and she will certainly do it as soon as she can (busy FT worker with 2 young boys) but she has been ill so way behind with stuff but she responded to the nudge.
