THIS WEEK’S TOP DEALS!

NatWest Bank Switching Offer - FREE £150

NatWest have relaunched their bank switching offer and are offering £150 cash to anyone who has not received a switching bonus from them before

This is quite an easy bonus to get if you are eligible!

Nationwide To Pay £50 to 12 Million Customers

Yes, really - 12 Million Nationwide customers will receive £50 before 30 April, here’s how to know if you are eligible:

You must have been a Nationwide member on 30 September 2024. And still be a member when we come to make the payment.

In the 12 months to the end of September 2024, members must also have:

• had at least one qualifying transaction on your Nationwide current account or savings account, or

• had at least £100 in total in one or more of your Nationwide current accounts and savings accounts, or

• owed at least £100 in total on one or more Nationwide residential mortgages.

You also met the requirements if you completed a switch to any Nationwide current account. You just had to do so between 1 July 2024 and 30 September 2024 using the Current Account Switch Service.

3 Months Free Disney+

Most of us will have a Tesco Clubcard and that means that you can get 3 months’ FREE Disney+ via your Clubcard app

1. Open your Clubcard app

2. Find “Partner Offers” and you should be able to get a code

Now this is only for new customers, but you could be cheeky and try to get your partner to create a new account and cancel/ pause your existing subscription to get 3 months’ free!

Alternatively, if you aren’t going to use it be sure to offer your codes to family and friends in case they can make use of it!

Family Days Out from just £1 each! Eden Project, National Trust & More

National Lottery Open Week is running from yesterday (15th March) through to next Sunday (23rd March)

During the next week, you can gain free or discounted access to some of the UK’s best attractions including Eden Project, museums, National Trust properties and many more

All you need to do is check where you can visit on the National Lottery Open Week site (see below), book in advance where required and take a National Lottery ticket with you when you visit

Using Eden Project as an example, 2 people can visit per ticket and a National Lottery ticket costs £2 so that’s £1 entry each! Normal adult entry is an eye-watering £38 per person if booked in advance so quite the saving!

Get Your Will Drafted For FREE

Something that often goes undiscussed and not even thought about is what happens when you die, but it is incredibly important to ensure that you have one in place should the worst happen

Throughout March, it is Free Wills month which means that you can get a will drafted by a solicitor for free. The reason why it is free is because there is an encouragement to leave something to one of the charities supporting the month-long event, but there is no requirement

Areas that are eligible this month are:

Aberdeen, Barry, Bedfordshire, Birmingham, Blackpool, Bristol, Cardiff, Chesterfield, Darlington, Dundee, Eastbourne, Edinburgh, Essex, Fife, Glasgow, Harrogate, Hastings, Hertfordshire, Inverness, Kent, Kilmarnock, Leeds, Liverpool, London, Mid Wales, Middlesbrough, Newcastle upon Tyne, North Wales, Northamptonshire, Norwich, Perth, Sheffield, Sunderland, Surrey, Swansea, Wirral and Wolverhampton

If your area isn’t listed it may be eligible in October when another Free Wills month event takes place

2 Pizzas + Ben & Jerry’s for £5

Co-Op have returned with a popular offer which was actually SO good last year that they haven’t done it the same way, last year this offer came with a £4.99 voucher for Amazon which made it DIRT cheap

However, it’s still a good deal if you are after a cheap night in

Until 25th March you can bag 2 x fresh pizzas (margherita or pepperoni) and a tub of Ben & Jerry’s in a Co-Op store for £6 or £5 if you’re a Co-Op Member (easy peasy to join!)

You can also do this offer multiple times over so it’s a good way to stock up the freezer!
