If you want to squeeze more value out of every Amazon UK order, this Amazon UK cashback method is worth knowing about. The idea is simple: instead of buying directly from Amazon, you buy Amazon gift cards through the Sprive app, earn cashback on each card, and then funnel that cashback straight into your mortgage. Over time, those small percentages quietly chip away at your balance and interest. Combine it with a spending tracker like Emma to see exactly where your money goes, and you have a system that turns routine shopping into purposeful saving.

This is not financial advice. Always check your mortgage terms before making overpayments.

What Is Sprive, and How Does the App Work? (UK Guide 2026)

Last updated: 9 June 2026

I've been using Sprive with my Nationwide mortgage since October 2021. This guide is based on the actual setup process and over four years of daily use.

If you're trying to figure out what Sprive is and how the Sprive app works, you're probably weighing up whether it's worth the setup effort or whether you'll download it and never open it again. This guide covers the mechanics only: what you do in the app, what happens next, and what to check so you don't accidentally trip over your lender's overpayment rules.
