Martin Lewis fan 'plays the system' to get thousands in cash

Martin Lewis has shared how some fans of his Money Saving Expert site are raking in thousands of pounds by "playing the system".

The finance guru has again told people how they can make money by switching their bank accounts. How it works is banks offer a cash incentive for people to move their custom to them rather than sticking with their current providers.

Savers will need to meet certain criteria to claim the cash. For example, First Direct is offering new customers £175 to make the switch to its 1st Account - but you need to pay in £1,000+ within the first 28 days. You also can't switch from a HSBC or First Direct account.
