How to get free money UK
Posted on
I’m a big fan of sharing ways to make more money from home in the UK, but I also love finding ways to save money and even get free money from companies with little effort! The more money I make, more I save and more free cash I find, the more we can begin to live our lives the way we want to.
Right now our priorities are saving for our future retirement, continuing to do up our home and having a few travel plans each year to explore new destinations. Being savvy with money, saving where we can and spotting free money offers helps us to achieve these money goals.
I get really excited when I find ways to get free money in the UK. It’s rare that companies give away free cash, but I have some great examples below. If you’ve already visited my free money page then you’ll recognise these, but I want to share them here in a blog post too for those that might only follow my blog and not notice my other pages.
If that’s you then do check out my main website and the many money websites and categories at the top of my website. There’s lots of useful information there covering all sorts of money topics from making money at home, money saving tips and family finances.
Also discover my matched betting blog if you want to make money from home fast, or check out how to make money blogging if you've got more time :)
If you're looking for ways to get some free money in the UK then read on. I share loads of free money offers below!
A list of free money offers in the UK
Bulb - £50 off your first bill (and possibly save hundreds on energy each year)
Not only did we save over £250 per year when we switched to Bulb, but we also got £50 off our first bill with a special Bulb referral link and we get 100% renewable electricity. For £50 off your first Bulb bill and to get a quote to see if you can save money too, simply click here to sign up with our referral link.

Airtime Rewards - £ varies
This is an incredible app that lets your favourite retailers pay for your phone bill! Install the app, link all your credit and debit cards and spend as normal. There’s a huge list of popular UK retailers and restaurants that they are connected with. Every time you spend on one of your linked cards at these retailers you will earn a cashback in your Airtime Rewards app. Once you reach £10 you can put this money towards your phone bill. It links to your phone bill no matter if it’s SIM only, monthly contract or pay-as-you-go.

OhMyDosh - £ unlimited plus £1 bonus
I make money online with this website by completing get paid to tasks. They also offer cashback and free money offers. You can get a free £1 bonus if you sign up with my link here and make much more if you use their site for the get paid to offers.
Virgin Media - up to £50 off your first bill
If you want to join Virgin Media for their amazing fast broadband, a TV package, mobile phone or SIM only deal then you might be looking for a Virgin Media promo code. As I’m an existing customer, I can refer you and you can get up to £50 off your first bill.
Simply use my referral link to sign up to Virgin so it's tracked for the reward!
You can see the list of rewards for each service at the bottom of the referral page.
Tesco Mobile - up to £20 off your first pay monthly bill
As I’m a customer of Tesco Mobile I can refer-a-friend and depending on the offer you select, you can get up to £20 off your first bill. They say:
"For you and your friend to get money off your bill, your friend needs to...
- Join Tesco Mobile on a new account and an eligible tariff within 60 days
- Bring their number over to Tesco Mobile within 60 days

Top Cashback - £ unlimited
This is my favourite cashback site. I have the browser extension installed so I’m always alerted to cashback offers. Across both mine and my husband’s accounts we’ve had £1266 cashback on our normal purchases and online bookings in 3.5 years!

Quidco - £ unlimited plus £5 bonus
Another cashback site which some people prefer over Top Cashback, but I think it’s worth having both as there are sometimes brands on one, but not the other. The browser extension will let you know if you can get cashback from the website you are on, so it’s easy to get cashback with little effort. If you’re not signed up to these cashback sites then you’re just losing out on hundreds of pounds of free money every year!
Once you get £5 cashback then you’ll get a £5 bonus if you sign up with my referral link
