[atro1]

Only joined two days ago. Having a whale of a time sending for anything that I can.
Many thanks,a great site. ;D

[16011996]

i love the site, but like all parts not just this bit. ;D recommend the other bits to people who haven't looked.

[jo_b]

Yeah, I admit I come to this board first. Like 160, I love all the other boards. Go on, have a browse! ;D

By the way, Martin, what does this mean? ???

"Also in truth it means retaining traffic which is really useful. " ???

[MSE Martin]

Basically Jo

When you have a website you rely on people to come to you. With an email you can tell people about something without them coming to you. So the email is a way of reaching out to people. In other words next week the tart alert comes out - i hope it'll be very popular. If there was no email, then i'd have to rely to people deciding to come to the site, but the email means i can simply say "oy new tart alert, come and look"

Being able to direct people both helps them know whats happening, but also means that the few clean revenue generating areas.

[jo_b]

Now I understand. ;D

martin i love this site, i thank you oh great one

just one question why the name 'tart' as in tart alert i just thought it was hilarious when i first noticed it, is it abbreviated for something
;D ;D ;D

[smellycat]

yes, I keep picturing people standing on street corners eating discount jam tarts.

I'll admit it, of late I haven't been paying as much attention to the other boards but I do receive your email ;D

[elvis_bloggs]

Note to Martin :- I wish to order a Blonde Tart. ;D

[MSE Martin]

If you read the full details about the tart alert - you'll see why. Basically credit card tarting is what you call moving 0% to 0% to 0% - tarting your custom.

I differentiate between two approaches

Being a tart
Having a stable relationship

[trix147]

Hi im just a newbie :-[

but i would like to say thanks Martin :) and everyone else who spends their time keeping MSE running ;)

i have passed on this site to people and students who have a few money problems as well as looking for freebies :D

if i ever get the chance to meet you guys, the beer is on me ;)

[AnnieP]

To Martin, I would just like to say that whenever I catch you on TV you always mention the Citizens Advice Bureau, and I have to say many thanks. I worked there for 10yrs as a volunteer and know the good work they do, especially the money advisors, the one I knew worked much more hours than expected and the Bureaux as a whole deserve a mention.
Thanks very much AnnieP

[wingates]

Thanks for a great site, Martin.
I listen to you every week on Steve Wright.

Thanks for a great site, Martin.

[Candy]

Newbie, Thanks Martin for all you have done, I only joined a few days ago, just after i received my Asda credit card on 0% for 6 months. I use it for shopping and retail purchases as i don't get charged interest and i can save my money to pay on bills with interest, there for saving me money. Oh and i also use the card to buy in bulk in the supermarket when they have discounts or reduced items, saving me more money! The sight is excellent and i have recommended it to my friends. Not sure if i am allowed to say this or not but here goes. Has anyone heard of Credit Union? They have helped me loads, as i used them to obtain low cost loans of just 1% on a decreasing balance, and then used that loan to pay of other loans with higher interest rates. Anyone wanting to know more just let me know.

[AlInshearah]

I agree with the posting above. This looks good

Hear, hear. I've saved and made money, won some great things and had freebies and I love being able to give something back by sharing my finds with others on this forum. Thank you to everyone who posts; you all make this place what it is.

Martin Lewis is our Martin Luther; helping the man on the street *clears chest and puts fist on heart*, helping the ordinary working man (and woman, and to be PC, stay at home mums, in fact all factions of society) to break down the barriers between *us* and *them* (the big institutions) and stick up for our rights. *Gets off soapbox and scampers off to Freebies board*:T

[tillytat]

Thanks for this site Martin. It's helped me a lot and also enabled me to get many freebies, even though I've only been a member for a few weeks. I'm now in the process of checking how much I've paid in credit card charges, through forgetfulness, before putting in a claim.

[Kippy]

:j I joined last week... where have I been!!!.... really enjoying all the advice and tips haven't actually sent off for any freebies yet, entered a couple of competitions. :T fingers crossed. Thank you. all information gratefully received.

... well, if you're after some freebies you've come to the right place :cool: ; take a look on the main freebies page for something that takes your fancy ( http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/forumdisplay.html?f=37 ), click on the thread and read the first post, usually you have to click a link and enter your details on another site to get your freebie... :beer: sit and wait excitedly for the posty (although some freebies come more quickly than others!! :o )

HTH :D

ps. there is a chat thread here if you need any more advice:

I've been perusing this site and the forums for some time now and took the leap of registering today.

Now, call me an old grouch if you like but so few contributors seem to understand the titles of the forum threads.

Whenever I click on a thread expecting to find pages of bargains all that I find is one bargain in the original post and reams of gushing praise for the website.

Either that or reams of posts gloating about who got what for free.

Surely there must be other threads purely for those purposes.

It just makes it so difficult and time-consuming trying to find the real deals.

Somebody really needs to tidy up and moderate these forums.

Now that I've got that off my chest


Where is the new, current "Top Top Bargain"?

:wall:

[Prinzessilein]

Hello! I have always thought I'm pretty good at keeping track of my finances....I am on Incapacity Benefit and need to keep an eye on every penny! I signed up here a couple of days ago - for help/support on my DLA claim...but discovered so much more!
I've sent off for a couple of freebies; decided to claim back my bank charges (thought I'd have to wait, but looks like I have grounds to claim now!); downloaded a free computer game (great entertainment when I'm housebound!); and now I've just signed up for the weekly e-mails!....and I've also had some great support for my original problem....there's so much here - even for someone who thought she 'knew it all!'
If I get all this in a week, what can I get next week?!!!

[lorweld]

:hello: & welcome Prinzessilein :)

So glad you're enjoying your time here. If you've any questions don't hesitate to ask :D

Hi Freegan (you ole grouch you!) and welcome - you can stop hitting your head because - don't worry you will soon get the hang of things and start to enjoy this whole thing :T

The main thing to realise is that each separate post refers to a single new freebie/competion or bargain that someone has put on for others to apply for & enjoy if they like the sound of it.

Just read the title of each thread/post.

If it is something you think would interest you or you would like to apply for or send off for then click on the thread/post. It will explain/show you what the freebie/bargain/comp. is. You will also see a link or maybe a site address or reference - something that will take you through to what the thread/post is about so you can apply for it.

Each thread is for a different item and all the posts/comments that follow on that thread is for those to thank or comment on that same particular item.

Posting a comment about the post moves it up the board for other people to see/gain from as well as allowing you to thank/comment about it.

Hope this helps to clear things up - good luck with your freebies/bargains & good luck with finding things to post for others :T:T

Is great on here - sure you will love it!!!

how do i get free stuff? im new to this :confused:

93 day free trial for LoveFilm!

EPAL3M4 this code still works! its from a while ago, but still going good.

If anyone is having probs with address being used twice, try clicking on 'address not listed' after it searches your postcode. type in your postcode in a slighty different format. Use full stops, commas, shorten Road to RD, etc. This seems to confuse the system to recognise it as a new address. Its worked for me so far. Not paid for a DVD in over 2 years! :j

go to www . lovefilm. com (sorry as a new member I can't put links in for some reason?!)

Make sure you are not signed in on any account.

In the top right corner where it says 'sign up for your free fourteen day trial now', there's a box for 'promotional code'. Enter the code which was posted above and follow the instructions. Takes about 5 mins. Worked for me anyway.
