  • May I join in.  I moved house this year so didn't manage the 2025 challenge.  

    Time to try again. Lol

    Please may I join this club?

    I used to like the £10 a day challenge (although never managed it!) but that seems to have died a death.

    Just thought I'd mention for the benefit of those doing this challenge that @OwnedByACat has just compiled and launched a list of cashback offers for savings/investment accounts, see the thread below:

    The Cashback for Bank or Investment Accounts Discussion Thread

    These offers are an excellent way to add a bit of money to your totals so worth having a look at if you haven't done so already.
    Just bookmarked, although I've been doing most of them for yonks when available which is why I exhausted all bank switch / new account opening Cashbacks by the beginning of 2025, except for the recent Santander CB offers which were completed when they became available, but sometimes learning a new backdoor trick or two can be very useful - Thanks for posting!

    Iceland bonus card only gives us savings not making anything. So that won't count @CazzieLT.

    CazzieLT - Do you use TopCashback (TCB)? - Cashback for online purchases for almost everything including opening a new bank account & bank switches  ;) There's also Quidco similar to TCB with a sign up bonus at times. I hope you use either or both of these  ;)
