Tide REFER200 cashback timeline
A simple day-by-day plan so you don't miss the 7-day, 30-day or saver-hold deadlines that decide your reward.
REFER200 reward timeline

Make £100 of Tide card transactions within 30 days of opening to unlock the £75 portion.
- Day 30Keep the £5,000 saver balance in place
Hold the £5,000 in Instant Saver for the full 30 days. Withdrawing early can void the £125 reward.
- After validationTide pays your cashback
Tide validates your activity and pays up to £200 cashback into your Tide account. Timing is set by Tide.
Tide controls final reward validation. Allow time after the 30-day window for Tide to confirm and pay.
Why the timeline matters
The two rewards are scored independently, but each one has a hard window. If the £5,000 doesn't land in Instant Saver before day 7, the £125 portion is lost — even if you deposit £10,000 on day 8. The same applies to the £100 card spend at day 30.
If you can only do one step
The £75 card-spend step is the easiest to hit, because £100 of business spend in a month is realistic for most users. The £125 saver step needs £5,000 of free cash you can lock for a month. Use the offer calculator to model your situation.
What if Tide hasn't paid you yet?
Cashback is paid after Tide validates your activity. If you completed the steps and haven't been paid, see cashback not received.

Frequently asked questions
Does the 7-day saver clock start at signup or at approval?+
Tide's timer typically starts when your account is opened (approved and active). Apply early in the day to avoid losing hours to overnight processing.
Can I split the £5,000 across several deposits?+
Yes — what matters is that the £5,000 balance is reached within 7 days and held for 30 days. A single transfer is the safest way to evidence it.
Do ATM withdrawals count toward the £100 card spend?+
Tide's terms generally exclude ATM withdrawals from qualifying spend. See what counts as Tide card spend for a full breakdown.
How long after day 30 will I receive the cashback?+
Tide doesn't publish a fixed payment date. Allow a reasonable validation window after the 30-day point. If nothing has arrived, contact Tide support.
