Martin Lewis tells every Brit how they can get free £175 by next Monday

Martin Lewis has revealed a way every Brit can potentially get a free £175 by next Monday.

The money and consumer expert, who founded popular cash-saving website MoneySavingExpert.com, issued the advice today.

Mr Lewis, who has his own ITV1 show and regular stints on Good Morning Britain and This Morning, has revealed all.

Speaking on Good Morning Britain, Mr Lewis said: "HSBC is giving people £175 for switching to its bank account, you have to do it by Monday, you also have to be paying in £1,750 a month, which is a salary of £26,000."

As reported by Birmingham Live, he added: "That’s part of its conditions, but you could split that up and pay in £1,000, take out £750 put it back in.

"So that will help - that comes within 40 days so about second week of January you’d get the cash, which if you’re spending in Black Friday might be quite helpful."

Following on from his mention of Black Friday spending, Martin shared his best deals ahead of the big day tomorrow.

Martin said: “Deals come in two forms. The ones I most like are those with blanket codes or vouchers that operate cross store, as here you can usually buy what you would’ve bought anyway at a discount.

“Yet there are also one-off deals on individual items, done at places like Apple, which gives vouchers on top, Amazon and John Lewis yet I worry here people buy because it’s cheap, not because they need.”
