Don't know how much I've saved but....
just wanted to say thanks to Martin and his team for giving me the confidence to continually switch credit cards and take advantage of the 0% offers. I never did this before discovering this site, somehow I was "scared" to (who knows why!) but I've just BT'd again to Virgin and applied for an M&S card to BT some of our…

Car insurance wow!! and other amazing stuff
;D Just used Martin's recommendations to sort out quotes for my daughter (age 17 about to take driving test). My first best price was over £1200 for 3rd party F & T from a "cheap for young drivers" company. Tried confused.com etc and got under £800 including breakdown insurance. OK it is still expensive for a £300 car but…

Saved £30 by ordering same item from the same supplier via Amazon
I've just ordered a Zanussi dishwasher from Empire Direct via the Amazon website and I saved £30. If I ordered it at Empire Direct it would have cost £297.89. Via Amazon it cost £267.91! Basically Empire are supplying it but Amazon charge less for P&P. £5.01 in comparison to £34.99. Therefore if you want to buy something…

Got my 18.9 APR card changed to 0% for 9 months!!!!
Thanks to the advice from Martin in his book and on this site, I called my credit card company (still nameless til I get the card in my hand!) to complain about the APR as I had the card for 6 years. They said there was nothing they could do and it was tough! Wrote a letter that I would be leaving them in the next 2 weeks…

Haggling at WHSmith... I got 90% off
We have been looking to get Health dictionary/encyclopedia for some time, so I was browsing around in WHSmith yesterday hoping to find the big BMA one reduced (normal price is £35). No luck on that, but I did spot a 'Daily Telegraph' one that had a tatty cover, and was an old edition, so with the recent posts about old…

Lucky dishwasher tablet!
I found a gold wrapped tablet in the box, thought I may have won something. Sent it back to 'Finish' with a nice covering letter. Unfortunately the reply stated that it was the end of the roll of packaging, thus the gold colour. But they enclosed a voucher for £4.00 for my time and effort. Did a weekly shop at Kwik Save,…
