FREE £100 upfront, £15/month cashback for six months, plus choice of an extra reward in January 2026. To max the reward on the TSB Spend & Save you'll need to use the debit card for spending each month. You get the upfront £100 for switching. "But if you then spend on its debit card 20+ times in each of the first six months, you'll qualify for the £15 a month cashback. Then, if you also make 20+ debit card payments in December, you'll earn an extra reward – choose from a £120 credit towards a hotel booking via Expedia's Travel Credits website or 12 months of activity tickets with the National Activities Network. "The account also gives access to a regular saver, offering 5% interest on up to £250 a month, fixed for 12 months. Maxed out, that's £71 interest." You can't have had a switch bonus from TSB since 1 October 2022. To be eligible for the triple cashback, you must first complete all of the £100 switch incentive conditions.

TSB said: "If you make 20 or more payments (of any value) per month using your debit card in the first six calendar months your Spend & Save account or Spend & Save Plus account is open (including the month your account is opened) and subject to meeting our cashback terms and conditions, we'll give you £15 cashback per month instead of £5. "This will appear as two payments on your transactions (£5 and £10) and may occur on different dates. We'll count your 20 payments based on the date the money is taken from your account. "This is usually within 5 working days from the day you make the debit card transaction, but sometimes can be longer. You can tell when money is taken from your account by looking at your transactions online or on your statement."

Martin Lewis 'three crucial alerts' summer holidays warning
In his ITV show, he told viewers: "Border control and flight checks are getting more stringent. There's an immigration issue going on around the world, and that means countries are getting stricter on who they let in. So you need to be more diligent with your checks." 'My daughter wasn't allowed to board the plane even though she had 7mths left on her passport' – the two key checks to ensure this doesn't happen to you (while it differs per country, these'll generally keep you safe) Courtesy of ITV Martin Lewis Money Show, watch the full show… — Martin Lewis (@MartinSLewis) May 22, 2025 Martin Lewis' three crucial travel checks "I've got three crucial alerts for you," he said. "First of all, two checks everybody needs to do on their passport now. These are, very importantly, this is about the day that you will enter the country. The first check is on the day you enter the country, are there less than six months left on your passport? Or if you're going to the EU less than three months left? If so, that's a big problem. But there's another rule, even if you had seven months, and this is what I think may have happened in Mary's daughter's case, seven months left on your passport. If your passport is over 10 years old, many countries won't let you in. Now, how could it be over 10 years old? Because it used to be that when you renewed, if you had any spare time on your old passport, they could add that on top, so you might have 10 years, 10 months, and that can bar you too. So you need to do both of those checks. Recommended reading: "Now, if you have done those checks, if there's yes to either of those, then the safest thing is to renew before you go. It takes three weeks, typically, to get a new passport, and it's cheaper to do it online. But let me be honest, I'm hearing so many cases like this. "If I was seven, eight or nine months away, and the rule was six months, I'd probably pay safe and get a new passport first anyway, so that I've got more on it, because it's being so tricky, and it's very similar. "If you're traveling to the USA or passing through the USA, you need to sort your ESTA now there is heightened border security in the States. If you don't have this as your sort of online visa, if you like, without one, People are being denied entry. You need to be careful."
