Andy’s deals of the week 16 July 2022

My pick of the best offers and savings.

Every week I spend hours looking at discounts and deals to pick the good from the bad. I’ll only share ones which I think are worth considering – but remember you’re only saving money if you’re buying something you need and can afford.

Don’t forget to check out my Clever Cash Deals Instagram account. This is where I’ll share any flash offers that will have come and gone by the time this roundup is published.

Amex x PayPal: Decent money back offers

Gradually over the week offers have been appearing on American Express cards for money back when using it via PayPal. I’ve got £15 back on £70 on one and £20 back on £100 on another. More here.

HSBC: £170 switch ends

If you’re after a big bank switching deal, this £170 offer from HSBC ends on Monday. Here’s more.

Odeon: Limitless pass discount

If you go to an Odeon, especially one in Central London, then this Groupon deal could be a big money saver. More here.

Books: Four for the price of three

Secondhand bookstore WOB is giving the cheapest book free when you buy four. I’ve picked up some titles I’ve been after for a while for a total of £11 after the discount. Here’s more.

Kids Pass: 45-day £1 trial

The standard trial for this activity discount pass seems to be around 15 or 30 days, but I’ve found one (via Currys) that offers 45 days for a quid. Start this next week and it’ll last most of the summer holidays. Or there’s an option to get a shorter trial for free via cashback sites. More here.

Credit cards: Huge Avios & Amex welcome bonuses end

If you’re eligible for the Barclaycard Avios Plus credit card there’s a huge boosted welcome offer, potentially worth £376 after fees if you convert them to Nectar. This ends Monday.

Or the Amex Preferred Rewards Gold card welcome bonus could earn you £280 as Nectar. Both require a £3,000 spend in the first three months. More on both cards here.
