Sunglasses Shop £19 for £50 voucher but they've hiked Prices!
Hi all. I bought the £19 voucher yesterday entitling me to £50 off sunglasses at sunglasses-shop-co-uk . In the MSE it said sunglasses-shop have assured MSE they wouldn't hike the prices for the duration of the voucher which is until July. But unless i've missed something here they have! ...as the glasses MSE quotes as…
Another step to cheap car insurance
I followed your steps and found them very helpful. I got the cheapest quote and was very happy with this. Unfortunately, I have had a lot of problems with the chosen insurance company. After having these problems, I have looked at internet reviews - and they are damning - "Avoid at all costs" and "these people are villans"…
Searching on more than 1 word
Does anyone know how I search for posts that contain all of 3 words anywhere in a single post. eg Betfair, small, claims. Basically I'm looking to see if anyone has taken BF to a small claims court.
Solar Panel sub-board for 'Green and Ethical Moneysaving' Board?
Title says it all really. The Green & Ethical money saving board is swamped with solar power and FiT threads. I'm not saying they're not interesting, but all other topics seem to be getting swept away. Plus a dedicated board would be usefull for people interested exclusively in solar and fits. Just a thought. :)

Difficult registering with disposable email address
I quite like MSE but, given the density of advertising and the revenue generating ID strings in some of the clickable links, there's no way I'm about to trust you with my real email address, or one that I may use more than once. Sorry, but that's the way I feel about the possibility of being involuntarily tracked and…
inconsistency in applying site rules?

Can anyone explain why when someone suggests honey and lemon might be good for a cold the thread gets promptly closed after just one reply (NO MEDICAL ADVICE!!): https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/3494229 While this one (just to take a random…
Landlord Insurance?
Hi, Do you have a dedicated section on Landlords insurance or is this something you can provide an overview on. I.e what it does/doesn't cover, who are the "better" insurers, general issues, FAQ's etc? I don't think its an area which has been covered in great detail, unless I'm being blind and cannot see it easily! Thanks

Flightchecker tool not working on Ryanair flights
I have noticed that since Ryanair have put their 'captcha' security check on flight searches that none of the cheaper flights are coming up on your flightchecker tool:eek:. Is there anything that can be done about this or have Ryanair foiled your technical team? PS just applied for the Ryanair Passport to avoid their…

It looks like something is building on the site feedback forum!
I raised a question about my anti-tracking add on finding that 2 companies were apparently tracking me on the MSE site and received a reply from MSE that I was not being tracked. However, 2 posters have subsequently added that their anti-tracking software is apparently showing that they are too being tracked! I think it…
