100 ways to make £100 in 2024

A few other ways to get a bit of extra money:

Linking bank accounts to YouGov finance (useful if you have lots of current accounts). They give you 500 YG points per current account/credit card you link up to them and 100 points per savings account. You can link a maximum of 10 accounts at any one time so 5000 points max to be had here. 5000 YG points can be redeemed for £50 paid to your bank account and accounts can be re-linked every 3 months to earn points again so a potential £200/yr in total.

Bank reward accounts can help with the above, e.g. Halifax reward (£5/mth) (can have 3 accounts per person), Natwest (£3/mth after fee has been deducted), RBS (£3/mth after fee has been deducted), Co-op (£1/mth plus 2p per transaction on debit card "spending" up to a maximum of 60 transactions/mth), TSB Spend & Save (£5/mth per account) etc.

Stoozing.

Maximising the amount of interest you're earning on existing savings, in other words become a rate tart.

Refer-a-friend/sign up offers can be quite profitable, these include offers from banks/building societies (e.g. Co-op and Mansfield BS), credit cards, personal finance apps, free investments that can be sold after receiving them (Wealthify, Wombat invest, CMC invest and Trading 212 sometimes do offers among others) etc.

This one doesn't make you money as such but you can also get free food on your birthday from the likes of Costa Coffee, Greggs etc, which is a nice little set of freebies to enjoy once per year.

I’ve just signed up to Kroo through top cash back. £16.80 cashback available. The Kroo account gives 4.35% interest so if you are able to put around £2k in it and leave it there for a year that will gain you around £87 interest in 2024 so just over a hundred pounds including the cashback. As a nice bonus they plant 2 trees for each new customer too.

Although at 4.35% Kroo does pay a pretty poor rate of interest at the moment. Assuming interest rates remain constant over the next year, if you were to put the £2k in, say Metro's easy access account at 5.22% you'd earn £104.40 in interest over the course of the year, which is £17.40 more than you'd get for sticking the £2k in Kroo for a year. Even if you include the £16.80 TopCashback bonus you'd still still be 60p worse off with Kroo.

If you wanted to get the best of both worlds you could put only the minimum £50 in Kroo to get the cashback and plonk the rest of your money in a higher paying account.

Download Zipzero then scan your shopping receipts for cashback off bills.
Asda shopping gets you 4% all other supermarkets is 1%.
Mc donalds is 3%, body shop still paying 12%.

Lots of retailers instore and online, just remember to activate offer before you shop. you then have 7 days to upload your receipt.

Boots is a big YES for me as it pays 4% and if you have airtime rewards that also gives you another 4% of mobile bill

It's probably possible to come up with 100 ways... What tends to be harder is finding the time to do them all. So, I shall post a lovely passive one: stoozing interest free credit cards.
