This week’s checked offers

Earn a bit extra, the honest way

UK sign-up bonuses, cashback and paid-task sites we’ve checked this week. Each one says what you get, what happens next, and what we get.

#ad: some links on this page are referral links. If you sign up through them, the provider may pay us a reward, and each tile says what. It never costs you anything or reduces your reward. Nothing here is guaranteed: you need to meet each provider’s terms, and offers can end without notice. Not financial advice.
