    Raisin is a 'savings marketplace', which means it offers savings accounts from the various banks that it partners with. It currently has a cashback offer where you get £40.

    To qualify for the cashback, you need to be a new customer to Raisin. Here's how it all works...

    1. Register with Raisin through this link* and enter MSE40 in the promo code box (it's the very last field before you create your account) by 11.59am on Tuesday 31 January. 
    2. Open a new savings account (our top picks are below, though other accounts are available) and fund it with at least £10,000 by Friday 24 February.
    3. The £40 cashback is then paid after 14 days. The exception is if you open an easy-access or notice account, in which case you'll need to keep £10,000+ in the account for at least six months – the cashback's then paid after 14 days of the six-month period ending.

    Yes, minimum six months. If you pick a 12/24/36 month product then of course it's longer.

    I've put £10K in a 6 month fix thru Raisin, it's paying 3.5%.
    The £40 bonus raises the return to 4.3%
    If you recommend a friend you get another £25 bonus which raises the return to 4.8%.
    I suggest it's almost unprecedented for a 6 month fixed savings account.

    Had you received the £40 bonus?
    I am wondering how secure they are.

    Is it still available?

    Secondly, if my partner register her account, does £40 bonus, better than I recommend her which is only cost £25?
  • No, I have to wait 14 days before the £40 is paid. I opened mine on 27th Jan.
    Fscs protected.
    Surely you can check on their website if it's still available.
    If you recommend someone it says you receive £25 each.
