Money Saving Expert Martin Lewis warns Brits they only have four days to claim 'free' £125 for Christmas

Martin Lewis has warned people that they have just four days left to get themselves a free £125 in time for Christmas.

The Money Saving Expert urged subscribers of his weekly MSE newsletter to subscribe to the offer before it was too late.

In this week's newsletter Martin, who has his own ITV1 show The Martin Lewis Money Show, has a handy tip for Brits worried about cash.

Martin outlined how banks are currently paying a switching bonus - reports Birmingham Live.

Martin said : "Four [banks] are currently paying, though only two pay out quickly enough for it to come before Christmas, and one of those is ending soon.

"To get the cash, you'll need to use the banks' official switching services.

"The switch itself will be done within seven working days, and all direct debits and standing orders will be moved for you, the old account closed and any payments to it auto-forwarded."
