Monese (Monese Ltd) is an app that I’m still in the process of reviewing. It’s essentially another current account offering a bonus for new customers.

FEB 2022: It’s back on offer! I’m a big fan of Monese and I’d recommend that you try signing up to see if it’s something that’d work for you! The current offer is a bit vague on the process though.

Make Money Installing Apps : How to get £5 free from the Curve App

Make Money Installing Apps : Curve Card Review

FEB 2022 : Curve have changed it up again. The £5 reward still seems to be mentioned in the app, but there’s definately more push to the 1% cashback. If you only use your Curve Card, like me, this can add up.

I wrote about my first month with the Curve App (Curve London) and Card here. I’m still a big fan despite finding a few niggles.

  1. Head over to The Curve Website and enter your phone number or download Curve from your respective app store.
  2. Follow the sign up process using the app (Use code VV1NJ where prompted if you want £5 free Curve Rewards and 1% cashback on (almost) everything after your first transaction – if you don’t use the code, you can still get the card, but no bonus).
  3. Once the signup is completed, wait a few days for your card to be delivered.
  4. While you’re waiting for your new card, register your existing cards in the app – this takes a small payment to allow you validate the card. This is refunded.
  5. When it’s delivered, verify your card in the app.
  6. Replace your default cards with your shiny new Curve card.
  7. The £5 here is added to your Curve Rewards virtual card that you can spend anywhere. I don’t believe you can withdraw this from a cashpoint though. (This money sits pending until you make your first purchase in the Curve card)

After signing up you can get more Curve Rewards by referring your friends to the service.
