Here’s how to get a cash boost by sharing the love . . .
REFERRALS: If you’ve had great service from a company, why not let your pals know?
Many firms will reward you if you refer someone as a new customer.
This is true for most utility providers, as well as credit card firms.
Even just referring a mate to cashback site TopCashback will net you £20.
So next time you’re telling someone about a great offer, check if you can get something for the recommendation.
Just make sure you get sign-ups through your own unique links or codes to get the reward.
BULK BUYS: If you’re buying tickets for an event, always try to buy with friends and then split the total between you.
This means that if there are booking fees you’ll only pay one between you.
Plus, many venues offer multi-ticket savings that are worth looking for.
For example, you can pay £24.50 to visit the Minecraft Experience in London, but this reduces to £18.50 each if there are seven or more tickets bought through a group bundle.
FRIEND FOR THE ROAD: Travelling can be expensive but you can ease the pressure with others in tow.
Ride app Uber easily allows you to add extra pick-ups on the way to a destination and divide the bill with contacts who also have an account.
If you have a pal who you frequently travel with, the Two Together railcard is £35 a year but gives you a third off off-peak fares when you travel together.
Or with GroupSave, groups of three or more adults can get a third off off-peak train fares when travelling together.
For regular journeys, such as to the office, why not ask work friends if they fancy lift sharing and you can take it in turns to drive.
You’ll save on petrol and get a little added company too.
