This week’s top deals
Free £20 bonus and double points at John Lewis
If you read my guide to the best reward credit cards above, then you might have spotted that one welcome deal ends this month. It’s for the John Lewis Partnership card.
Open a new card before 31st January and you’ll get double points at John Lewis and Waitrose (equivalent to 2.5% back) for 90 days. And if you spend £250 in the same three months, you’ll get a bonus £20 voucher.
Free £3 from Holland & Barrett
Sign up to Holland & Barrett’s loyalty scheme and you’ll get £3 worth of points as a bonus.
Free share worth up to £100
Sign up to investment site Trading 212 and add £1 and you’ll be given a free share, worth potentially as much as £100 (though the one I got was about £8).
I’m not recommending this as a form of investment, just as a chance to get some free cash – do you research if you choose to use it more.
50% off Meatliquor when restaurants reopen
I’m a big fan of burger joint Meatliquor, and if you sign up to its newsletter you’ll get a 50% off voucher when they can reopen their doors.
£5 off £25 spend at Amazon (selected accounts)
Though I’m trying to not spend anything at Amazon this year (I’ll write a blog on this soon), I know many of you are still going to use it. If so, you might be able to nab £5 off a £25 spend. Details on how to check here.
The perfect lockdown SIM
Out of contract and not using the data or other perks of my mobile deal, I set out to get my perfect lockdown SIM to save cash while stuck at home.
The problem was that I was only paying £8 a month for 8GB of data. Could I beat it? Here’s how it went.
