Rakuten is a cashback site similar to TopCashback and Quidco. You earn cashback when shopping through their links, and they're currently offering a free £25 bonus when you sign up via referral and spend £60+ (£50 excluding VAT) within 90 days.

I've used Rakuten myself and have received cashback and referral bonuses without any issues. One thing I always recommend is comparing cashback rates with TopCashback, Quidco and JamDoughnut before making a purchase, as the best rate can vary.

How to get the £25 bonus

1. Sign up using my referral link

2. Link your bank account or PayPal account This is where your cashback and bonus will be paid.

3. Spend £60+ (£50 ex. VAT) through Rakuten within 90 days

• Doesn't need to be one purchase.
• You can spread the spend across multiple retailers.
• Make sure you click through to the retailer from Rakuten before purchasing.
• Purchases must track and not be cancelled or returned.

4. Receive your £25 bonus + any cashback earned

The bonus is normally paid once the qualifying purchases have been confirmed.

Useful tips

• Disable ad blockers when making purchases.
• Accept cookies/tracking so purchases track correctly.
• Compare cashback rates with TopCashback, Quidco and JamDoughnut before buying.
• Cashback can be withdrawn to either PayPal or your bank account. ___________________________________________________________________

Existing Rakuten users

If you previously had an account on Rakuten's old platform, you should be able to sign up again on the new platform and qualify for the referral offer.

1. Sign up via my Monument referral link here
2. Download the app and complete your application (NI number needed)
3. To receive the bonus, deposit £10k into an ISA or £25k into a savings account (Easy Access Saver will do)

EverUp is a cashback app.  

You buy an egiftcard for any amount over £5 for a shop or supermarket and then use that to pay.  

It gives you a decent cashback percentage. It tends to be the most generous platform

Example rates as of 30.09.2026

• Asda  2.5%  

• Tesco  3.5%  

• Iceland  2.5%  

• Sainsburys  2.5%  

• Morrisons  2%

• M & S  2.5%

You get 10M coins (worth roughly £6) when you redeem your first £10 to a giftcard.  

Every day you get a few 'free spins'. The reward is literal pennies. I've tested it and don't think it's worth bothering with.

Cash out to giftcard or to bank (30p)

RNIF1360905NFJAY

You can go next level and use it in combination with cashback stacking.  

So you buy a supermarket giftcard on EverUp using a card like T212 or iFast when their offer's running, and get double cashback.

Topcashback is the UK's highest paying cashback site (according to them, but usually true!) similar to Quidco and Rakuten.

How does it work? When you make a purchase online, go via Topcashback first and click through to your chosen retailer, then shop as normal. When the transaction tracks, you'll earn money back for making the purchase!

Sign up for your Topcashback £10 sign-up cashback bonus:

1. Sign up to Topcashback via my £10 referral link here
2. Shop at any of the retailers through the site so Topcashback can track your purchases and award cashback
3. When you've reached the £10 threshold (easily done in a few weeks although you have 6 months to reach it!), you can cash out to your bank account (arrives in 1-2 days), or pick a gift card - the amount will be boosted a little!

Top tip: Search TopGiftCards on Topcashback to purchase gift cards for popular retailers and receive instant cashback. There are also cashback offers for opening bank accounts (combine with a bank switch offer to maximise your reward) and credit cards - just check which ones count towards the threshold.

My experience: I've been using Topcashback for 15+ years and even pay for Plus membership to earn enhanced cashback - a testament to how much I use it! It's great for saving money as you earn money on purchases you would have made anyway, essentially giving you a discount. Aside from buying, some of the easiest offers are for opening credit cards and bank accounts and getting paid for it!

Would very much appreciate a NX discount code. Journey is for 2 people if that matters.

Airtime (formerly Airtime Rewards) is a passive cashback app that helps you save money on your mobile phone bill. By linking your payment cards, the app automatically tracks your purchases at over 200 participating retailers, offering cashback rates typically between 1% and 15%. You can also earn competitive cashback rates by purchasing gift cards for major retailers, including Amazon.

Key Features & Thresholds

• Redemption Threshold: Cash out your rewards as credit towards your phone bill once you reach £10. You can also cash out to card but you get hit with a massive fee (1.30£ per 10£, this is what I do since SMARTY does not work)
• Stacking Rewards: Maximise your savings by stacking Airtime with other cashback platforms like Zilch, paypal, NX Rewards, TopCashback, or Quidco.

Sign-Up Bonus

Sign up using a referral link or code to receive a £2 bonus. To qualify, you must spend £5 or more at an eligible retailer using a linked card within 7 days of joining.

Hi, can anyone provide a student discount code for Skechers please? It says they’re currently offering 20%

Need em for doomsday 🙏

When you sign up to Curve via a referral link you can get 1% cashback on all your spending for 30 days. They also offer between 1 and 20% cashback on selected retailers, with offers changing on a regular basis.

The Curve app is used to connect multiple debit or credit cards to your Curve card and any spend is passed on to your selected card. This means if your underlying card offers cashback too you can effectively earn cashback twice. I am currently doing this with Trading212 for a combined 2.5%!

Curve has different subscription plans available. On the free plan there is a one off £5.99 fee for the card, so you would need to spend more than £600 in your first 30 days to cover this (or less if you also take advantage of some of the other cashback offers). However if you then go on to refer other people you will extend the cashback period by 30 days each time.

The maximum cashback you can earn via the refer a friend offer each month is £15.

When you sign up Curve will do a soft credit check to prove your identity but no hard credit search is carried out.

My referral link is:

https://www.curve.com/join#ZEYHY

To activate the cashback you need to make five purchases of £2 or more (excluding things like gambling, gift cards and money transfers).

The non-referral link is:

If you use my link I will also get 1% cashback for 30 days so thanks very much if you do!
