Currensea code CKKYY7: £10 after £100 abroad, if your bank is supported
Currensea's £10 needs £100 of foreign-currency spending within 180 days and a card kept for 90 days, which nets about £9.50 on the free Essential plan while delivery stays waived. The catch is the bank list: only 14 UK banks can be linked, so Monzo, Starling, Revolut and Chase customers can't use it. Checks are soft searches with no footprint.

How to claim
- Check your current account is with one of Currensea's 14 supported UK banks; Monzo, Starling, Revolut, Chase and basic bank accounts can't be linked.
- Open the referral link above, or enter code CKKYY7 when you sign up.
- Pass Currensea's checks, which are soft searches that leave no footprint on your credit file, and link your current account.
- Order and activate the card. Essential delivery is normally £4.95 but has been waived since 29 June 2026 until Currensea withdraws the offer.
- Spend £100 or more in foreign currencies (any of the 180 Currensea supports) within 180 days of opening your account.
- Keep the card for at least 90 days. The £10 is paid by bank transfer to the linked account within 5 working days of meeting the spend.
Eligibility & requirements
- 18 or over, with a valid mobile number and an active current account at a supported UK bank with online or mobile banking. No active County Court Judgments, and the referral terms ask for a good credit history with no payment defaults.
- You must live in the UK, France, Spain, Italy, Germany, Belgium, Ireland, the Netherlands or Cyprus; the linked account must still be with a supported UK bank.
- New customers only: not paid if you already have a Currensea card or have applied for one before.
- Spend £100 or more in foreign currencies within 180 days of opening the account. Refunds that take the spend below £100 cancel the reward.
- Not paid if the card is cancelled within 90 calendar days of applying or the application is fraudulent.
- Your £10 is stated on Currensea's refer-a-friend page rather than in its written referral terms, so check the offer shows in the app. No end date is published, and Currensea can withdraw offers at any time.
