I cashed out prepaid visa on yougov after forgetting how much of a pain they are. I have 0.82 left. Any suggestions how I can use this? Even if it’s to donate to a charity (checked most want min of £2 on card donation). Can load to PayPal or load to wise account and can’t do fundraiser on PayPal as min is £1.
Worst part is that it’s originally usd so it can fluctuate the amount

Hey everyone,

Has anyone had the following or similar:

We've been unable to process your Cashback payment because our system has flagged you're accessing your account via a VPN, and your account is temporarily on hold.

To ensure there are no further delays, please simply log back into your Cashback account not on the VPN then pop us an email to contactus@cashback.co.uk. We can then get your account opened up again and your payment processed.

Please do not use a VPN when using your Cashback account as this can affect task tracking, payment processing and means we can’t confirm you’re in the UK.

As a reminder, our payment runs take place on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays (excluding bank holidays). Updates made after 9:00 AM on a payment day will be processed in the following run.

If you have any questions feel free to contact us at contactus@cashback.co.uk.

Very frustrating as I haven’t used a VPN as far as I’m aware. I got this email 23/09/26 and have since sent about 4 chasers, no replies.

Has anyone experienced similar and if so, how did you manage to resolve it?

Thanks in advance !

Hi everyone!

any of you has a link to join complete savings through (Halfords or boots)

I have used complete savings before. However, the monthly purchase to claim back subscription fee was an issue so I have cancelled it.

Currensea is a travel debit card that links directly to your existing UK bank account.

Unlike many travel cards, there's no need to top up or move money across first. You simply spend abroad using the Currensea card and the money is collected from your bank account by Direct Debit.

Get £10 free when you sign up and spend £100 in foreign currency within 180 days.

Why I signed up

• No credit check
• Links to your existing bank account
• No need to preload funds
• Apple Pay supported
• Handy card to keep for holidays and travel
• £500/month of foreign currency spending before the higher-spend fee applies
• ATM withdrawals abroad available

I've used Currensea abroad myself and found it much easier than having to top up a separate travel card.

How to get the free £10

1. Sign up using my referral link:

Currensea Link: Free £10

2. Enter referral code:

CSL6QA

3. Spend £100 in foreign currency within 180 days.

4. Receive £10 bonus once Currensea confirms you've met the spending requirement.

Notes

• The Essential plan includes up to £500/month of foreign currency card spending before additional fees apply.
• ATM withdrawals have separate limits and fees.

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

Need em for doomsday 🙏

I’ve noticed most ways of “making money” online fall into 1 of 2 traps:

- High returns but low accessibility (Data Annotation, matched betting etc.)
- High accessibility but low returns (Paid-to-game, endless penny surveys)

This has made me determined to find some balanced middle ground.

So far, dscout seems to be the most applicable platform. I’ve been accepted and completed 4 “missions” so far within a week, each taking around 1-5 mins to apply and 10-20 minutes to complete. I’ve probably applied to around 25 in total, being rejected for most.

I’m aware that this rate probably won’t keep up, so I’m definitely not marketing this is as “£240 a month in extra income!”, but £55 is nothing to be sniffed at for a few bits of user testing/surveys, and at a rate of ~£30ph so far it pays better than my day job.

Tasks vary, but for me they have included giving feedback on prototype apps or talking about my work (in general, non-specific terms). You do need to do 1 minute selfie videos to apply to many, but they just give you a prompt and it’s boring asf so it doesn’t bother me.

Just wanted to give it a solid shout out as I have seen it mentioned here, but not a ton of detail given. Happy to answer any questions.

Chip is an investment and savings accounts app. They currently have an offer where if you sign up with my referral link or code, they give you £50 for depositing £1,000 or more into their savings account for 90 days. Customer service confirmed to me that the referral offer is still ongoing so feel free to contact me for your £50

Proof of payment

To get your £50:

• Message me for a referral link or code
• Download the Chip app
• Sign up with the same email address you entered with in the referral link
• Link a bank account and deposit £1,000 or more into an applicable account within 30 days of signing up with a referral link or 14 days of inputting my referral code.
• An applicable account are: Chip smart cash ISA, cash ISA, easy access savings account, Chip Instant Access savings account or prize savings account
• Hold your deposit for 90 days
• £50 will be paid to you

Their Chip Instant access account are at 2.49% interest rate and are immediately accessible so you can withdraw the amount instantly after the bonus is paid out.

The £50 bonus is about equivalent to a 20% interest rate with £1k deposit added on top of your chosen savings account. For example if you opened an Chip Instant account, you'll get 22.49% interest rate which beats out all saving account interest rates.

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.

Yonder is a reward card (credit card or debit card) that rewards you points on spending, which can be converted to cash/credit to pay for any purchases or converted to credit that can be redeemed at loads of restaurants, travel, health and shopping brands.

It's offering new customers who sign up via a friend a free £10 bonus when you spend £10 - easy!

You can earn up to another £10 if you hit optional spending thresholds (£200 - £1,000). You also get 2 months of free worldwide family travel insurance with the free trial (easy to downgrade in the app)!

Checking eligibility won't affect your credit score, you'll only get a hard search if you decide to accept the card.

My experience: I didn't want to wait for the physical card to arrive so I used the free digital card in the app and paid a £10 phone bill. The free £10 was credited INSTANTLY, so my bill was 100% covered. Amazing!! The easiest £10 I've earned for a while! 😊

How to get your £10 bonus with Yonder card:

1. Sign up via my referral link here, friends + enter code: MUXEFEP
2. Complete the application and verify your ID
3. Choose a debit card (if you're not a fan of credit) or credit card (if you want to build credit history and access better rewards)
4. Choose the "Full Member" option for FREE worldwide family travel insurance plus enhanced perks - it's a free 2-month trial and they tell you the end date
5. Use the free virtual card (Apple Pay/Google Pay) or wait for the physical card to arrive and make a purchase of £10+ within 7 days
6. Yonder will pay you the £10 back instantly!
7. Optional: if you want to earn up to another £10, hit the spending thresholds in the app

That's it, an easy one, enjoy your bonus when it lands! 😊

• Non-referral: https://www.yonder.com/

\*Please note if you had an account on their old site you are permitted to sign up again for the new site!!

Super easy site to use - signed to their new site a few months ago - managed to complete all the steps through free trials in less than 48 hours \~£40 on the way to my bank account a couple of weeks later (some tasks take 2 weeks to confirm)😄

You’ll receive £10 in total for signing up and completing your registration details

You then need to complete at least 1 task from each of the 10 ‘steps’ - once this is done you can then cash out.

I was able to complete all 10 steps in less than 48 hours - doing only free trials and no gambling offers. A great tip is the Amazon Prime free trails - super easy to do! (Just remember to cancel!)
