The latest advice comes as HSBC banking are offering the free cash to customers who open two accounts with them.
Applicants will have to be accepted to kick start a current account and a Global Money multi-currency account.
Martin Lewis’ MSE team suggested the fee-free HSBC Advance as a current account or HSBC Premier.
Meanwhile the multi-currency debit card can be set up via their banking app.
ELIGIBILITY AND HOW TO CLAIM
To be accepted and receive the extra money, applicants can’t have held or opened a First Direct current account since October 2018.
If you are eligible, you will be paid £125 in the first instalment, and a further £80 as a bonus.
These two payments require different steps.
To see your first lot of free money, you will have to open your HSBC Advance account and within 60 days pay £1,500 into it.
This money does not have to stay in the account – but you will need to make at least five payments from it.
Then, open the Global Money account on the HSBC app and within 20 days you will be paid £125 into it.
The final £80 will come through after this debit card has been used at least five times by April next year.
If these rules are followed, the remaining free money will be paid into the Global Money account in May 2024.
This also automatically enrols you into a raffle to win one of 24 £3,000 cash jackpots.
Debit card holders will be able to decline this offer.
This comes as Martin Lewis also warned millions they could be owed £1,000s from their energy provider.
