UK Sign-Up Bonuses, Cashback & Referrals (2026)

Scrimpr's monthly roundup of UK cashback, sign-up and referral bonuses currently open to new customers — with what's required, what the catches are, and how the mechanics actually work.

I built every tool on this site myself and write about UK personal finance the way I’d want it written — using proper data, and without any fluff.

Last updated: 20 August 2026. Sign-up bonuses change frequently — always check the current terms on the provider’s own website before signing up.

Sign-up bonuses, cashback and referral rewards from UK companies wanting new customers. This is Scrimpr’s monthly roundup of what’s currently open across cashback, shopping, food and drink, travel, market research and referral categories — refreshed at the start of each month.

These offers are often called “free money” in searches and social posts, but that’s a stretch. Every entry below requires some form of action — signing up, spending, referring a friend — and most have conditions like minimum deposits, minimum spends or hold periods. This roundup covers what’s on offer this month and what’s needed to claim; nothing here should be treated as guaranteed income.

What this roundup deliberately doesn’t cover: bank current account switch bonuses (see our separate bank switch roundup) and regulated investment sign-up offers. Both sit under UK financial promotion rules and warrant their own editorial treatment.

How sign-up bonuses actually work

Most follow the same broad pattern regardless of category. Understanding the mechanics helps you spot the ones worth doing and the ones with too much friction for too little reward.

The offer link matters. Referral bonuses generally require the correct link or referral code — signing up direct (without the code) means no bonus. Cashback sites work the same way: the tracking cookie is set when you click through from the cashback site.

New-customer clauses are strict. Almost every offer restricts to genuinely new customers — often new to the whole company, not just new to a specific product. Some cashback sites go further: no bonus if you’ve had another product with the merchant in the past 12–24 months.

Qualifying actions vary widely. Some offers pay just for signing up (rare). Most require a qualifying action: a minimum spend, a completed purchase, or a period of activity.

Payment timing is often slow. Cashback typically shows as “tracked” within 24–72 hours and “confirmed” after 30–90 days. Sign-up bonuses have their own timelines — a week to several months.

Hold periods can void the bonus. Some require you to keep the account active for a set period; cancel or downgrade early and the bonus is withdrawn.

Stacking offers: when it works, when it doesn’t

Multiple welcome bonuses at once is legitimate provided you’ll use the services. Sensible patterns:

Different categories — a cashback site, a referral offer, and a food-delivery voucher are independent
Household members — many offers allow one bonus per person, so partners signing up separately is fine (each referring the other)

Where stacking doesn’t work:

Same company, multiple accounts — explicitly banned by nearly every provider
Cashback on top of referral — some offers exclude concurrent use of cashback sites; check the offer terms

How Scrimpr chooses which offers to cover

Scrimpr covers UK sign-up offers where the reward is meaningful, the qualifying action is clear, and the provider has a track record. Some offers are marked with an asterisk (*) — that indicates Scrimpr may earn a small commission if you sign up through the link. This doesn’t affect whether or how offers are listed; independent (non-commission) links appear alongside partner links throughout.

Offers with predatory hold periods, hidden fees or opaque qualifying criteria are excluded. Regulated investment and banking offers are covered in separate editorial roundups.

FAQ

Are sign-up bonuses taxable? Most cashback and sign-up rewards from UK companies are treated as a discount rather than income for HMRC purposes and don’t need to be declared. Larger or repeated referral income can be different — worth checking HMRC’s guidance on miscellaneous income if you’re doing this at scale.

Do I need to keep the account open after claiming? Depends on the offer. Some pay and let you close immediately with no clawback. Others have hold periods of 30 days to 12 months.

What if my bonus doesn’t track? Contact the provider (direct sign-ups) or cashback site support. Most have dispute processes. Screenshots at the point of sign-up help — take one before you close the tab.
