TSB Dream Fund Prize Draw (September 2025)

danny13579

Launched today.



From what I can see after a quick glance through the T&Cs, there are two routes of entry into this.

Entry routes:

1: Deposit £5,000 from another bank account (not TSB) into one of your TSB accounts anytime during the promotion period (all of September) and keep it there until at least 1st October.

So you could deposit £5,000 at say 23:55 on September 30th and withdraw it at 00:01 on October 1st and be eligible.

Each £5,000 deposited = one entry.

2: Postal entry route. This just involves sending a postcard (or a letter in an envelope) sent 1st or 2nd class post with your name, address, sort code and account number anytime in September to:

TSB Bank plc, Prize Draw, 1st Floor, Henry Duncan House, 120 George Street, Edinburgh, EH2 4LH

Maximum of one entry if using the postal route. No money needs to be deposited using the postal route so especially good if you don't have £5,000 hanging around.

Prizes:

5 prizes of £10,000,

50 prizes of £250,

100 prizes of £100.

Good luck and may the odds be ever in your favour!

Thanks for this.

Might be worthwhile participating as the number of entries will probably be quite low. Not many people will have £5000 lying about.

I might have considered moving funds in on 30th September and then out on 1st October. However the end of the month has so many other financial to-ings and fro-ings that I can't be enthused enough to take part in this.

Not quite, the full description says write to that address (by first or second class post), you'd be unwise to put that information on a postcard.....

Why?

For anyone who doesn't want to use a postcard you can send a letter in an envelope as the postal route.

Just do the postal route. You may as well for the price of a 2nd class stamp. That's what I'll be doing.

Basic data security, why associate a bank account with a name and address on an open communication method.

Combine that with a bit of social media digging / bin diving might get you enough info to apply for a loan or a contract for a new iPhone....

I have no problem doing it. I send my bank details by email regularly to get payments. If I write a cheque my name, account and sort code are on it. 

My TSB accounts never hold more than a few pence in them anyway. I just use them for the £5 rewards.

But yes, it doesn't have to be a postcard, it can be in an envelope if you prefer. I've amended the opening post to include this. 

I'm sure you don't need to go down the postal route anyway, £5,000 would be loose change to you. 

P.S. Just saw your add on to the post. I don't have a social media presence and all letters/statements are shredded so good luck to anyone trying that!

Sorry, not directing any comments at you specifically, meant to be general points. Agree that name/account no/sort code are not really aids to fraud on their own - but add address?

This "free method" of entering a draw seems to be a requirement of the gaming legislation that governs this type of giveaway. NatWest are running something similar at the moment for one of their investment products. They allow the free entry to be by email.

The strange thing is that the "free method" of entering this costs more than the £5,000 method.

If you have £5,000 somewhere that you can move into/out of a TSB account for 10 minutes at the end of September/beginning of October it costs you nothing to get one entry.

The postal method or "free method" costs at least 87p for the stamp.

Presumably enough information for someone to set up a direct debit from your account? I wouldn't put that information on a postcard.
