You can make £60 in a day by exploiting a loophole in Tesco's new savings account, says Martin Lewis on MoneySavingExpert.com. Open a Tesco Instant Access Savings account and depending on how much money is in it on 7 October they'll give you some Tesco Clubcard points regardless of whether or not you keep the money in the account beyond that day.
So move some money in for that day then move it to somewhere else with a better interest rate the account only pays 0.75%. If you have £1,000 in the account on the right day you'll get 500 points (worth £20 in rewards). You'll get 1,000 points with £3,000 and if you have £10,000 saved, that's 1,500 points, which are worth £60 in Tesco's Clubcard rewards scheme.
