Savvy Investors Know Where to Get Their News—Do You?

Here’s the truth: there is no magic formula when it comes to building wealth.

Much of the mainstream financial media is designed to drive traffic, not good decision-making. Whether it’s disingenuous headlines or relentless scare tactics used to generate clicks, modern business news was not built to serve individual investors.

Luckily, we have The Daily Upside. Created by Wall Street insiders and bankers, this fresh, insightful newsletter delivers valuable insights that go beyond the headlines.

Cashback platforms are a fantastic way to make your money go further - they let you save on purchases you’d make anyway, turning regular expenses into opportunities for earnings. Instead of all your money flowing to retailers, cashback allows you to recoup some of those funds, which you can put toward other expenses or save for the future. Over time, these rewards can really add up, making cashback a smart, effortless way to boost your savings.

Here’s a roundup of platforms you can sign up to today - what’s even better is they each have a referral scheme so you’ll earn some £ simply by signing up and making your first purchase. Let’s go! 🚀

SIGN UP & REFER A FRIEND

1️⃣ Quidco

Quidco is a fantastic cashback site with a simple interface and an app that’s super easy to navigate. They often have bonus offers with increased cashback which can really pay off if you time your purchase with their offers.

Existing members can make £25 by referring a friend, and new members can earn £15 from signing up.

How to Earn £15 as a new Quidco User
1. Click my referral link (or use a friend's link) and sign up for a Quidco account.
2. Make one or more purchases that generate £5+ in cashback.
3. That’s it! Tracked purchases can take some days or weeks to be confirmed, once your first £5 cashback is confirmed then you’ll be notified about the £15 signup reward which you can withdraw as cash or exchange for vouchers.

How to Earn £25 by referring friends
1. Grab your personal referral link from Quidco’s Refer a Friend page.
2. Share the link with friends or family. When their first £5 cashback is confirmed, you’ll receive a £25 reward.

2️⃣ Rakuten

Rakuten is a popular cashback platform that gives users cash rewards or points when shopping through its partner retailer network. Instead of just cash, Rakuten users earn "Rakuten Points" that can be redeemed for gift cards, travel miles, or converted to cash, adding flexibility to how you use your rewards. Plus, Rakuten frequently features exclusive deals and discounts, helping shoppers save even more beyond their cashback.

Since I last shared Rakuten, they’ve increased their referral fee from £15 to £25. That’s £25 for you, and £25 for your friend.

Not a Rakuten member?
1. Click my referral link to sign up to Rakuten.
2. Make qualifying purchases of £30 or more within 90 days of joining and you’ll receive £25 in the way of a signing up bonus.

Already a Rakuten member and want to refer a friend?
1. Copy your unique referral link from the Rakuten referral page.
2. Share the link with friends or family and when they make qualifying purchases of £30+ within 90 days of joining, you become eligible for a £25 referral reward.

What is it
TopCashback is cashback platform known for its commitment to offering some of the most competitive rates available. They often match or surpass the cashback percentages you’ll find on other sites, helping users maximise their savings. For those who shop frequently, TopCashback offers a "Plus" membership, which boosts cashback rates even further and provides extra perks, making it an excellent choice for avid online shoppers.

To make earning even easier, I have the TopCashback Chrome extension installed that instantly alerts me to cashback opportunities as you browse, so I never pass up a saving opportunity!

Like all the others, TopCashback would really like you to refer new members to their platform. They will pay out £25 when you:
1. Copy your unique referral link from the TopCashback tell-a-friend page.
