Just remember they do have a time limit ie you can only do so many, I think it's normally 3 years.  Also look at the small print for things like minimum income (usually £1500) and direct debits.

I change some of mine as often as I can it's basically free money.

HSBC is two direct debits. Which most people have.  And £1200 a month going in every month. £175 paid after 60 days.

In other news. Chase bank (jp Morgan) are doing 1.5% interest in a savings account. No limit on deposits ( unless you have over 250000)  Instant access. No limits on withdrawals. App based.

Thanks for this tip last month NR.

For anyone after a bit of free beer money:

Free £20 if you set up a Chase current account via the link below. £20 per referral, so when you refer a friend and they open an account, you'll each get £20. You can make up to £400 if you manage to refer 20 people!

It's a reputable bank if you've never heard of Chase before, they're huge in the USA. Making their footprint in the UK with this offer. More info here:

Decent perks too. 1% cashback for a year and fee-free spending and withdrawals abroad  :)

£175 BLOOD MONEY ??
"The bank was heavily criticised by MPs last year for agreeing to freeze the accounts of pro-democracy activists in Hong Kong. HSBC also publicly backed a security law in Hong Kong widely seen as repressive."
