| | MARTIN'S QUICK BRIEFING: For more tips, alerts & awful puns, follow Martin on Twitter The 10 top tricks for shopping magic
Incl our Christmas Deals PREDICTOR - when to pounce for max discounts It's Black Friday, this, er well, Friday - the day after US Thanksgiving, when traditionally stores there begin their Christmas push. To kick-start it retailers offer short-lived codes and discounts, and - like Halloween - this trend is moving across the pond. Below, in the main body of this email, we've all the best of them.
Yet shopping isn't just about individual deals - if you know what you want it's about tactics & techniques too. Our 40 Cheap Online Shopping tricks will help, but here are 10 magic wands to start... | 1. | New. The Christmas Deals Predictor 2014. A year ago we launched our prediction of what deals big retailers would come up with in the Christmas season, with 72% of the deals we predicted running on the day we said they would. This year it's back and bigger with 32 predictions - view the Christmas Deals Predictor 2014. Examples include:
- Later this week: Selfridges 20% off code & vch
- Dec week 2: Boots half price Soap & Glory set
- Dec week 3: M&S to cut 50% off Christmas gifts and wrapping
| | | | 2. |  Bag hidden local eBay bargains as gifts. eBay sellers often specify items, from bikes to PS4s, as 'collection only' - they get fewer bids so prices are lower. You can't search for them on eBay, so we built the Local eBay Deals Mapper, eBay Deals iPhone App & eBay Deals Android App to find 'em.
Forumite Jen_Jen1985 said: "I had been looking for a double buggy for my two nieces, most of them ended up selling for around the £40 mark. I found one via the eBay Local Bargain Finder and ended up winning it for £1.24." | | | | 3. | URGENT Grab 5% off ALL Xmas shopping. Cashback credit cards pay you each time you spend. So do normal spending on them, ensuring you repay IN FULL each month (pref by direct debit) to avoid interest, and you're quids in. Some are £100s up by the time the cashback's paid, usually after a year.
- Top pick right now is the Amex Plat Everyday* card (eligibility calc). It pays a HUGE 5% (max £100) on ALL spending in the first 3mths, then up to 1.25%. So apply now, it'll usually arrive within a fortnight, and so the big cashback covers the high-spend Christmas and New Year sales period. Fail to repay in full and it's 19.9% representative APR.
- For those with poorer credit scores, the Aqua Reward* (eligibility calc) gives a £20 Amazon voucher after two months and 0.5% cashback a year. It will accept some with older defaults/CCJs. Just ensure you repay in full though or it's a huge 34.9% rep APR.
To find which cards you're likely to get, use our free Cashback Card Eligibility Calculator. Full help: Top Cashback Cards (APR Examples) | | | | 4. | Use shopbots to find the cheapest online prices. A shopbot, or shopping robot, is a comparison site that searches a range of e-tailers to find the cheapest price, incl del, in the same time it takes to search at just one e-store.
As different comparison sites are good for different things, we've designed MegaShopBot.com to help you instantly find the right shopbots, whether comparing prices for books, games, gadgets, perfumes or owt else. | | | | 5. | The UK's first Giving Tuesday. If you don't know what to buy, and are just doing it out of a tick box-type obligation, STOP. #GivingTuesday is 2 Dec, it's happened in other countries but it's the first time for the UK.
So this Christmas instead of doing tit-for-tat giving (which means most people end up with tat), simply tell your list of extended family and friends you're making a donation instead. Or we've compiled a list of top Charity Gift Catalogues, options include buying a £5 Xmas dinner for someone homeless, adopting an animal or the awesome Good Gifts. | | | | 6. | Search web outlets' up to 80% off deals, incl Argos, M&S & Tesco. Many big name retailers flog unsold lines at up to 70-80%+ off via online outlets. Our Outlet Store Discount Finder searches 50+ outlets for huge toy, clothing & other discounts - and people will never know.
Current hotties incl £11 delivered women's sequin dress (was £96), £9 delivered men's chino trousers (was £49), and £9 delivered men's canvas shoes (was £49). | | | | 7. | Don't spend Tesco Clubcard vouchers on Christmas food. Many save up and use 'em for festive fodder, but that's a waste - you can get far better value on them on other things, so use them for that, and cash for your dinner. Here's the three key points...
a) First, Reclaim Lost/Unused Tesco Vouchers (can go back two years).
b) See Top 10 Tesco Rewards, which can up to quadruple vouchers' value.
c) Tesco's new Christmas Double-Up lets you double value in stores & online, including toys, console games, Xmas decorations, electricals & more. | | | | 8. | Find Amazon 75%+ off bargain basements. Our Amazon Discount Finder uses web wizardry to manipulate Amazon links to build bespoke pages.
It's not perfect, but it can unearth bargains. Our new Christmas top picks tab has lots of searches that may help, eg, Xmas decs 30% off*, watches 50%+ off*, jewellery 80%+ off* and handbags 75%+ off*. Remember to check elsewhere (use the MegaShopBot above) to see if they're cheap though. | | | | 9. | Free petrol big spenders' extreme couponing. Be wary of giving gift vouchers or cards as presents because a) if the firm goes bust, they're worthless, b) some run out of date and c) people lose them. But there's a clever trick which makes them useful, more for you than as a gift though.
If you're planning a big spend at any one of 50+ retailers (incl Halfords, Homebase, Debenhams, PC World), buy the gift card in Morrisons and you get 1p/litre off fuel per £10 spend. So £100 gets 10p off, £1,250 gets a free tank. Buy the card, then go straight to the shop to spend it yourself (minimising the time to reduce risk). See Petrol Gift Voucher Trick.
| | | | 10. | Ban unnecessary Christmas presents. Christmas is a hugely pressured time financially for many. For yourself, always do a budget, yet for others remember the most generous thing may be to agree a Pre-Nupp (a pre Christmas No Unnecessary Present Pact) so you don't obligate them to spend their cash buying back for you.
I've campaigned on this for many years, and it's a more detailed theory than it at first appears - see my full ban unnecessary Christmas presents blog. | | |

Your POTHOLE damage rights - a major new MSE campaign
New. There are 2m+ potholes a year on UK roads. If your car or bike's damaged, are you entitled to compensation? It's thought potholes cause up to £700m-worth of damage to vehicles across the UK each year. Whenever we ask what you'd like us to campaign on, huge swathes say "potholes, potholes, potholes". So today, in time for winter road issues, we're launching our new 10,000-word (you don't need read it all) Pothole compensation guide. Here are a few nuggets:  What is a pothole? The legal definition is a defect in the road over 4cm deep (roughly the diameter of two 20p coins) that causes an immediate risk or hazard. - 'I claimed £530 from the Highways Agency.' If the authority in charge of the road (eg, council, Highways Agency, TfL) was negligent - in other words if it didn't fix a reported pothole quickly enough or spot it within time limits - it should pay for your repairs. Over to David on our forum... "I hit a pothole on the M20 motorway on my journey home from work, and suffered a cut to a tyre. I claimed from the Highways Agency and got £530."
- You must prove it was the pothole wot dunnit. Just saying your car was damaged isn't enough, you will need to get your mechanic to vouch for this. Our step-by-step guide explains how to report a pothole, check if you're eligible, gather the evidence and make a claim. Be warned, claiming will often take time and can be tricky.
- The moral question - is it fair to claim? It's important to understand you can only claim if the authority was negligent. So you've no claim anyway if a cannonball drops off a truck, causing a pothole, which two minutes later damages your car. Even when you are eligible, our guide helps explain your rights, but you must decide whether to act on them.
Some argue compensation deprives authorities of much-needed cash to fix roads, others that the more people pursue their rights, the more incentive there is for authorities to improve roads rather than deal with claims. Full info in our new Pothole Damage Claims guide. Pls remember this is the guide's 1st incarnation. We've spent months researching it but not put it into practice yet, and to constantly improve it we need your Pothole damage guide feedback. back to top ↑ |

New. Shift debt to 6.4% FOR LIFE with no fee (or get 34mths 0%)
Top deal lets you lock in your credit card debts at a low rate for the long term - great if you need time to repay If you've credit card debt, a balance transfer means you get a new card that repays your existing one(s), so you owe it instead. Normally they're 0% short-term, but a new cheapest is perfect for those who need long-term cheap rate certainty. - New. 6.4% for the LIFE of the balance, no fee. If you KNOW you can repay in a certain time, 0% deals win. If not, long-term certainty is safer. The new top card of this ilk is Lloyds* (eligibility calc). Accepted new cardholders can shift debts from other cards to it within 90 days at 6.4% rep APR, no fee - around 1/3 of a typical card's APR.
Is the rate fixed? Not technically, it's variable, but the rate jacking rules mean the bank can't raise it in year one, and after, if it tries, you can reject as long as you keep repaying & don't borrow more. So in effect you can lock in the debt you shift at this cheap rate until the balance you've shifted is repaid. - Up to 34mth 0% if you can repay quicker. Shifting to interest-free, even with the fee, is far cheaper if you can clear the card or shift the debt again within the 0% period. Here are the current top picks:
TOP PICK NEW CARDHOLDER 0% BALANCE TRANSFER DEALS
Aim for the LOWEST FEE possible, provided you're sure you can repay in that time | | Card | Intro offer | One-off fee (1) | Rep APR after | | Barclaycard* - Longest 0% card | 34mths 0% (2) | 2.99% | 18.9% | | Lloyds* - Long lower fee | 28mths 0% (2) | 1.5% | 18.9% | | Nationwide* - Low fee & good length | 15mths 0% | 0.65% | 17.9% | | Tesco* - NO fee 0% | 12mths 0% | None | 20.6% | | Full info/options: Best Balance Transfers (APR Examples) 1) % of amount transferred. 2) Some get a shorter 0%. | - The Balance Transfer Golden Rules. It's not just about picking the right card, it's about using it the right way...
a) The Balance Transfer Eligibility Calc shows cards you've the best odds of getting, protecting your credit score.
b) Never miss the min monthly repayments, or the bank is allowed to hike the rate or kill your 0% deal.
c) With 0% cards, ensure you clear the card or transfer again before the 0% ends or the rate rockets.
d) Don't spend/withdraw cash on these. It usually isn't at the cheap rate & cash withdrawals hit your credit file.

Is it cheaper to leave the heating on all day?
Energy mythbusting. It's getting colder quickly, yet don't waste cash listening to old wives' tales The cold's finally here. To keep the heat higher and the bills lower, see our Energy Mythbusters guide, including...  Is it cheaper to leave the heating on all day? Many tout leaving it on, even if you only need it mornings & evenings. Yet according to the Energy Saving Trust (EST), that's a mistake, just turn it on when needed. See the Leave the heating on? debate.- Does painting radiators black help them keep warm? Another myth, says the EST.
- Do turned-off but plugged-in appliances use power? Some. Watch out for vampire power.
- Can you really save by switching energy firms - aren't they all the same? We're no fan of energy firms, but to say "they're all the same" isn't true. There are HUGE differences in: 1) Price. Someone with typical dual fuel usage pays £1,180 a year on a standard tariff, but could pay just £960 switching to the cheapest. 2) Service - in our Aug poll 82% rated Ovo great, while 71% rated Npower poor.

Fight the payday loan scourge - what EVERYONE needs to know
Regulations aren't in force yet - with Xmas coming, we all need to know how to dissuade those who are tempted It's thought 1.4m will take out high-cost, potentially crippling payday loans this Xmas, before the cost cap starts on 2 Jan. We hope regular MoneySavers will know to avoid them (if not read on). Yet even if you'd prefer to French kiss a skunk than get one, please gen up below, so that if a friend's contemplating this last resort, you can help ensure they've choices...  Five reasons to avoid payday loans: See full Payday Need-To-Knows incl...
1) They cost more per month (c£30 per £100) than high-cost credit cards' interest a yr.
2) If you need longer to pay one back you'll pay the same again, meaning more debt.
3) Lenders collect cash using continuous payment authorities, so they're in control.
4) If you can't pay on time, you could face huge charges & extra interest.
5) Using a payday loan can hit your ability to get a mortgage/overdraft in future. - Five payday loan alternatives. Payday loans are meant to be repaid within a month. Ask yourself what'll improve your finances so much you can afford to repay then? Far better not to borrow at Xmas and just go cold turkey, so to speak, and cut back. If not, to find spare cash, can you flog stuff, do a money makeover or keep to a tight budget? If you still 'need' to borrow, then see our full list of Cheaper Payday Loan Alternatives including...
1) Govt-backed interest-free loans/grants. These are sadly less common than they used to be, but if on benefits you can apply for a budgeting loan and anyone in financial crisis can apply for help from their local council.
2) Your local credit union (or community finance initiative). Many of these offer small, lower interest loans; find one.
3) 3mth 0% poor credit card. Barclaycard's 3mth 0% lets you spend & borrow at no cost (don't withdraw cash on it) for 3mths, even with a poor credit score. That's far longer than a payday loan, just clear it, cancel & cut up after.
4) Freeze a credit card. If you've used payday loans a lot, get a bad credit credit card, freeze it in a bowl of water, so it'd need smashing to use (gives thinking time). If used & repaid in a month, unlike payday loans, it's interest free.
5) Can you get, or extend, an overdraft? Busting your overdraft limit can be even costlier than a payday loan, yet if you can extend your authorised overdraft limit it may give you respite. See Full overdraft help. - Need debt help. If you're struggling get free non-profit 1-on-1 debt advice or fight unfair payday loans help.

 MONEY MORAL DILEMMA
Should I give my employer the flight delay compensation?
This week's MoneySaver who wants advice asks... On a recent work trip overseas my flight was delayed and I was stuck on the tarmac for around seven hours. I've since made a flight delay claim, but if I'm successful, who should get the money? Me, as I had to endure the delay and made the delay claim? Or my employer, as it paid for the flight?

Best ideas for Secret Santa gifts
We asked for your ideas on getting good gifts for colleagues or family members on a Secret Santa budget. You said the usual gifts of wine, chocolates and toiletries could be surprisingly unsuitable, but were at least less controversial than buying goodies from Ann Summers. Interestingly, some of you have adopted extreme MoneySaving when it comes to Secret Santas and dropped the maximum spend to just £1, while others have adapted the idea slightly to a £1 lucky dip.

| I've paid money by bank transfer into the wrong account - what are my rights on getting it back? I've heard the rules have changed when it comes to fixing errors made when sending money. Greg, via email MSE Eesha’s A: It's much simpler thanks to a new code of practice which the majority of banks follow that was put in place in May 2014, but there's still no certainty you'll get your money back. Contact your bank and let it know you've made a mistake. Then your bank has two working days to start the retrieval process, and up to 20 working days to let you know of the outcome.
Unfortunately, there are still circumstances in which you won’t get your money back (for example, if the recipient refuses because they've spent it unknowingly), but if this is the case then your bank will let you know what your next steps are. For example, you may need to take the recipient to court. For full information on your rights, read the Sent money to the wrong account MSE news story. |
