Andy’s deals of the week 19 August 2023

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.

Santander Edge Saver: Huge 7% savings

You can now beat inflation on (some) of your savings! The Edge Saver will pay 7% on balances of up to £4,000 – but there are some catches. First, you need to have the Santander Edge current account (which comes with a monthly fee), and the rate drops after a year. So is it worth it? Here’s our analysis.

Santander Edge: Up to £10 cashback

If you are tempted by the Edge Saver reviewed at the top of the newsletter, then you’ll need an Edge current account – and you can get a free tenner if you apply via a cashback site. Here’s more.

Vue: £4 cinema tickets with Groupon

Watch the latest blockbusters for as little as £4 at Vue cinemas across the UK with Groupon’s ticket bundle deal until the end of September. Here’s more. 

TSB: Last chance to switch for up to £270

ISAs: 5.3% limited access fix
