InboxPounds is a brilliant money-making site for those who want to make a bit of cash on an ongoing basis. Essentially, they have games, offers and surveys that you can complete in return for cash. There are some better ones out there to be fair, like Earnlab and CashinStyle but nice to have it all in the mix.

They're offering those who sign up via referral a free £1 bonus to help you on your way (see link above). You can cash out to a gift card or Mastercard virtual card at £5. Paypal and loads of gift cards including Amazon are also available.

My experience: I've made almost £220 mostly from playing "Featured" games that had enhanced bonuses including Alice’s Adventure Mergeland, Puzzles & Chaos and Star Trek Fleet Command. The games are pretty repetitive but easy money and fun, especially if you're just sitting in front of the TV watching a film anyway!

TIP: Search Reddit for helpful gaming guides to help you whizz through the games more quickly. They've been immensely helpful in helping to save time so you can reach milestones more easily.

Octopus Energy recently became the UK's biggest energy provider (bigger than British Gas)! They have a generous refer-a-friend scheme where you earn a free £50 credit when you switch your energy to them. You're eligible if you have a smart meter, standard meter or economy 7 meter. A plus: NO FEES if you decide to switch out elsewhere at any time!

How to get your free £50 bonus with Octopus Energy:

1. Sign up to Octopus using my £50 refer-a-friend link here
2. Enter your post code and answer questions about your current energy use to receive a price quote. Click "Sign me up" to see the details about the proposed tariff, then confirm the switch once you’re happy.
3. Enter your gas and electricity meter ID/serial numbers, so have an old bill ready as this info will be on there already. Octopus is brilliant at updating you via email on the whole process with what you need to do at each step.
4. Your £50 reward will be credited to your account after your first direct debit has been taken - I received mine 2 weeks after the direct debit.

My hot tips:

• When getting your quote, enter your “actual” energy usage using an old bill instead of using the “low, medium, high” options to keep your direct debit payments accurate
• In your online account, you can reduce your monthly direct debits if you think they're too high - I lowered my mine by about 70%!

My experience + timeline:

I switched from Shell Energy to Octopus as it worked out cheaper across the board for both gas and electricity, so the £50 was a total bonus. The £50 was applied to my account less than 2 weeks after my first direct debit was taken and the switch process was probably the smoothest I’ve ever experienced. If you have a smart meter, you can also claim a free Caffe Nero or Greggs coffee each week as a free perk!

RewardXP is a high-paying Get-Paid-To (GPT) website that pays you to play games on your mobile phone and answer surveys. It's very similar to sites like CashinStyle, Earnlab, InboxPounds and Gemsloot, which offer similar games, so compare before you play to ensure you're earning the maximum amount.

I've earned a VERY decent amount (a few hundred pounds over the past couple of years) by playing games and reaching the required milestones. They can be repetitive but are pretty easy when you follow the gaming guides on Reddit to help you get there faster!

Referral link for an instant 10,000 XP sign-up bonus:

Sign up to RewardXP via my referral link here

Sign up using a Gmail or Facebook account and the points appear in your account instantly. Go to the 'Earn' tab and pick one of the offer walls featured. I'd recommend Torox as it's the one I use most and RewardXP offers a 20% boost on Torox games. Then just pick a game and off you go! Earnings are in $ USD but can be converted to your own currency. I personally choose Paypal and convert it to £ GBP from there. Enjoy!

Happy gaming and earning! 😊

Snoop is a money management and budgeting app that connects to your bank account to provide insights into your spending and money-saving offers.

It’s offering a free £5 Amazon voucher to anyone who signs up via referral, connects a bank account and leaves it connected for at least 28 consecutive days. It’s that easy!

Here’s how to get your free £5 Amazon voucher:

1. Sign up using my referral link here - best to open directly on your phone as it takes you to the app and aids tracking
2. Link a bank account or credit card that you can leave connected for at least 28 consecutive days
3. Your £5 voucher will be emailed to you by Snoop within 28 days of connecting your account.

My experience: I signed up via referral, connected a secondary bank account that I mostly use for money-making offers (not my main account) and waited almost a month before I got an email with my free £5 Amazon voucher. Very easy work 😊. And the app is actually pretty useful, so I've kept it, as it regularly recommends money-saving (and money-making) offers, bank switches with additional Amazon vouchers etc. I also check it weekly as I now use it as my main budgeting app.

Ribbon Rewards is a brilliant platform that rewards you in gift cards just for paying your rent!

They're currently offering a boosted £25 bonus when you sign up through a friend and make your first rent payment. There are no fees for using the service!

£25 boosted Ribbon Rewards referral link: Sign up for your £25 welcome bonus via my referral link here, friends

And if needed, enter code: KATEAFBF

How it works: It's a great way to get money back on rent that you're already paying. Just enter your landlord's bank details, pay the rent money into your allocated Ribbon account and they'll automatically forward it to your landlord whilst tracking your cashback. Once you've paid a month's rent, you'll be able to claim your gift card instantly.

My experience: Worked perfectly for me! And it works for service charges or housing schemes like Shared Ownership where you pay partial rent to a housing association. I gave Ribbon my landlord's bank details, paid rent into my allocated Ribbon account and it showed up instantly. I didn't even need to check with my landlord because they confirmed that my rent was safely received the same day! I claimed my gift card instantly after making my payment, so I'm very happy! If you'd like to sign up, I'm happy to be your referring friend 😊

The £25 boosted welcome bonus (usually £10) plus ongoing 1% cashback is a great perk! You can redeem gift cards from Amazon, Deliveroo, Uber Eats, Nandos, Apple, Nike, John Lewis, Argos, ASOS, Asda, Sainsbury's, Morrisons, M&S, Avios points and more!

That's it - enjoy! 😊

Capital on Tap is a reward credit card for small businesses and people who are a Director or majority Shareholder of a Limited Company (Ltd) or limited liability partnership (LLP) registered on Companies House.

They’re offering a £75 reward (7,500 points) for those who open a credit card via a referral and make one transaction (any amount) on the card. Plus, there’s 1% uncapped cashback when you spend on the card. They also specifically say: "Applying won’t affect your credit score".

How to get your free £75 reward (7,500 points) with Capital on Tap:

1. Sign up using my refer a friend link here
2. If required, enter Capital on Tap promo code: 2REFM892N33
3. Complete your application and ID process (I had a follow-up email asking to confirm my business activities, no documents needed, just a quick email response and they approved it)
4. Activate your physical card when it arrives and make your first purchase (any amount) within 30 days of activation
5. The 7,500 points will land in your Rewards section. Redeem it for £75 cash (to your bank account - my favourite option), credit, gift cards or even 6,000 Avios points!

Notes:

• Sole traders aren't eligible, you need a Limited company registered at Companies House.
• Your company should have a turnover of at least £2,000 per month (that's what they say)

My experience: Immediately after making my first transaction (bought some stamps from the Post Office), my phone pinged with an alert saying a £75 credit had been applied, so the offer worked perfectly and instantly. Screenshot here. I'm very happy with it and have ended up being a solid customer - I'm still using it as my main business card years later for the 1% cashback!

CashInStyle is one of the higher paying "Get Paid To" websites (available worldwide) that lets you make money by playing games (what I use it for), doing surveys and more. It's similar to sites like Earnlab, InboxPounds, RewardXP and Gemsloot but seems to be among the higher paying sites, which is why I use it for some games (it's best to compare across multiple sites to get the best deal).

Earnings are in $ USD by default but can be converted to whatever currency you use. Cashing out via Paypal is the easiest option and takes 1-2 working days (only took a day for me). The minimum cash-out is just $2 (approx £1.50 in GBP), so a super easy threshold to reach.

SIGN UP | CashInStyle referral link: Sign up via my referral link here

Or enter code: playforcash

My experience: I wrapped up my first game (DC Dark Legion - very easy, I highly recommend it) recently on CashInStyle, which netted me about £35 profit! Tracking for all my milestones and purchases tracked instantly, albeit with a 2-week holding period on my highest milestone, but that's fine since the most important thing is that it tracked. I cashed out via Paypal and received the funds the next day! Am very happy to recommend it if you fancy earning a bit of cash for playing games on your phone or PC in your spare time too!

Happy gaming and earning! 😊

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!
