BEST REFERRAL BONUSES

Referral schemes can be a good earner for consumers. Many of Britain’s biggest companies make use of them. Here are a few of the best:

Nationwide:

the high-street building society offers customers £100 if a friend sets up an account. You can sign up five friends a year, meaning the top payout could be £500.

emoov:

the online estate agent offers a £100 voucher to anyone who refers a friend to sell their home via the site – you don’t need to be a customer.

Sky TV:

offers a £50 prepaid Mastercard to those whose friends sign up.

Virgin Media:

although the £50 comes off the cost of your plan.

Bulb Energy:

the rapidly growing energy company offers a £50 cash bonus to any customers who refer a friend. The friend also gets £50.

Others:

several companies offer £25, including Pure Planet and Ovo Energy.
