    Something I mentioned in the Savings/investment DDs and debit card thread but probably worth mentioning here:

    Wirex have recently relaunched their refer-a-friend offer in which both you and your friend get £100 if you sign up and make 20 debit card payments of £10+. For full Ts&Cs see:
    https://wirexapp.com/gb/en/legal/refer-a-friend-terms?lid=nto8u9fdtlt1

    In my experience whilst it's easy enough to meet the eligibility criteria there's a fairly long delay between meeting the eligibility criteria and getting the money, with the Ts&Cs stating the money is paid within 30 working days of the offer ending (30th September 2025) so I'd expect the money to be paid around November.

    When I did this offer back in November I made 20 debit card payments of £10 into a combination of Zing, Skipton, YBS and HEBS and got the £100 in March.

    I must stress though the forum rules prohibit the exchanging of referral links so do NOT use this forum to request/exchange referral links. I'm only mentioning it here in case you know of anyone outside of this forum who can refer you or you can refer.
