Do you have any money saving / money making tips that other people might not have heard of before?
Perhaps you know a really cool way to buy discounted goods, or you’ve had success with using apps to get freebies - maybe you have an interesting tip for budgeting, or increasing your income?
A friend of mine uses a separate bank for their day to day expenses, they’ll set themselves a budget and transfer that amount to the other card and leave the main one at home.
I mean, I still take all my cards out with me - just in case for whatever reason Monzo doesn’t work, but having my “spending money” on one card helps keep my spending in line!
Has anyone watched the new Martin Lewis’ Extreme Savers on ITV?
It features someone that uses re-usable toilet roll, someone that had a special coat made so they didn’t have to pay for luggage on flights, and someone who has claimed thousands of pounds worth of competition prizes…
I’m not sure I’d be up for re-using loo roll haha, but quite impressed with how these people are managing to find new ways to save money!
Absolutely. It’s free and there isn’t really negatives other than it doesn’t support Amex. It means now that I never have to carry my cards around with me ever (and I have one could say too many cards)
Have you not considered because you were concerned about it?
If a website takes usd and gbp, it might be cheaper to pay in USD. I end up saving about 4 percent, which adds up as this is the markup some websites impose for fx. Make sure to use fee-free credit/debit card for non-sterling purchases
Hmm I guess I’ve never really considered it because I don’t mind carrying multiple cards around with me - I don’t have a huge number of cards (4?) so it’s never been enough of a pain to look for alternatives!
I’m deffo up for giving it a go though - do they have any referral schemes or anything like that?
