Earn cashback and win prizes with Airtime

The Airtime app (previously Airtime Rewards) is an easy way to get money off your monthly phone bill. You download the free app, register your VISA or Mastercard details – and when you spend at their partner retailers (in store or online dependent on the brand) you earn a percentage of your spend as cashback. When you reach £5 cashback, you can redeem it as £5 off your phone bill (for some networks it needs to be a minimum of £10). I’ve been using Airtime since 2018 and have earned £500 off my phone bill – it’s so easy to use, once you’ve registered your cards you don’t need to do anything else except go shopping!

Download the app at www.airtime.co.uk and use my referral code 39UBWG7A – if you spend within 7 days, we both earn £2!

What retailers can you earn cashback at?

Brands you can currently earn cashback with include Boots, Greggs, Argos, Waterstones, Deliveroo, Morrisons and more.

How to use Airtime

Airtime currently works with Three, EE, O2, Vodafone and giffgaff – but not with the smaller networks that ‘piggyback’ on these.

• Download the app for your Apple or Android device
• Register your phone number, network, account type (PAYG or Pay Monthly) and email address
• Tap Wallet to add a new Visa or Mastercard – use your device camera to scan the card details easily 
• Tap More and then Promo Code to add a referral code for bonus cashback (my code is 39UBWG7A – thanks for using!)
• Start spending in store or online (dependent on the retailer) with your registered cards – it will automatically register with the app
• Tap Rewards to see your transactions, and when you have earned enough, tap Redeem to take the money off your phone bill!

Gift cards

Use the Airtime app to purchase gift cards using your linked cards, and you’ll earn a cashback bonus (eg. 4% back on ASDA and Sainsbury’s gift cards). This is a great way to save money at retailers that don’t feature on the main app!

Friend referral bonus

If you encourage a friend to sign up to Airtime with your code, you will both earn £2 if your friend spends within a week. There are also occasional bonus sign-up days that offer more cashback, plus prize draws if you shop at certain retailers on a set day – it’s worth allowing push notifications from the app so you don’t miss out.

To find your referral code, tap More in the app, then Share & Earn. Share your code on social media or with your friends via email or Whatsapp. There are regular bonuses and prize draws for referring friends!

Airtime Ignite

Some users are being offered the chance to upgrade to Ignite – link your bank account to your Airtime app, and allow it to access your transaction history and direct debit information to get bonus cashback offers.

Bonus codes & Challenges

Airtime regularly share bonus codes on their social media to earn cashback, and you can also opt in to complete challenges on the app for cashback.

Win prizes

Airtime regularly have promotions where you can enter a prize draw for shopping at a certain retailer, and they will email out details of these. They also do lots of giveaways on X – so be sure to follow @airtimerewards!
