The best offers this July
I'm not sure what's more surprising: Germany losing on penalties for the first time ever, or the insane amount of money you can make in July.
Here's a quick run-down for you of the best offers on Quidsy right now.
Bank switching: £1,410
This is the easiest it's been in ages to start, thanks to Bank of Scotland. Most switch offers want £1,000 or more paid in and this one doesn't. You just switch a spare account (not your main one) and set up 3 x £1 direct debits:
no money to pay in
no card spending
£175 cash in 18 days
Overall, you can turn £3 into £175.
It's been extended, and now runs until 4 August.
I've recorded a 10-minute walkthrough for you, plus the step-by-step guide.
Looking for another switch? I recommend doing them in this order:
| Switch | Pay in | You get |
|---|---|---|
£1,000 | £200 cash + £40 cashback Expires 15 July | |
£1,000 | £175 cash | |
£1,250 | £200 cash | |
£2,000 | £200 cash Expires 27 August | |
£1,500 | £180 cash + £20 cashback | |
£2,000 | £220 cash |
Matched betting: £250+
The World Cup is in full swing now, and a big tournament is matched betting's busiest stretch, with the bookies pushing out more free-bet offers than usual.
If you've not tried it, matched betting turns those free bets into a profit you keep whatever the result. Start with William Hill, then work your way down the list:
- William Hill: bet £10 and get £30 in free bets, for £20 profit.
There's £250+ of locked-in profit across the bookies in the section.
Dan has filmed a walkthrough of the first offer (William Hill) to show you exactly how it's done:
Matched betting is 18+ and means opening betting accounts. Only take part if you're comfortable doing that, and always gamble responsibly. Support is at BeGambleAware.org.
Gift cards and cashback
Two ways to save on things you're buying anyway.
Everup top rates: buy a gift card, pay full price, and get a chunk straight back. Some of the best right now:
| Shop | Everup cashback |
|---|---|
Adidas | 12.7% |
Starbucks | 10.7% |
JD Sports | 9.6% |
Nando's | 8.8% |

Make 5 Amazon purchases (no minimum spend) | £5 cashback (5 x £1) |
Quick wins: £100+
Easy cash and no impact on your credit score. Three of the best right now:
Plus offers from Starling, Chase, Experian and many more, for £100+ in total.
Investing: £990+
Free cash for opening an account and putting a little in. Three worth a look:
| Offer | What you do | You get |
|---|---|---|
Invest £5 | £16 cashback (320% return) | |
Invest £100 | £75 cashback (75% return) | |
Invest 6 x £100 a month | £300 cashback, £250 after the exit fee (42% return) |
Plus offers from Scottish Friendly, eToro and many more, for £990+ in total.
Worth knowing: investing means the value can go down as well as up, so only use money you can leave invested for a few years.
Make it easy to come back:
Set an evening aside this week
Set a phone reminder or alarm
Add Quidsy to your to-do list
Getting started is the hard part. Once you've done one, the rest feel easy.
Cheers,
Chris
