Your weekly money saving deals and news from money expert Andy Webb

My top articles this week

1. How to spot a scam email

A big scam that's been doing the rounds recently has involved fake emails claiming to be from TV Licensing. Those that have fallen victim have lost a collective £233,000 - if not more.

If you're ever worried that an email you receive isn't legit, then here's my simple guide, with photo examples, of what to look for.

2. Fix your finances in 2019 partt 2: Better manage your borrowing

The second part of my January series taking you through the steps to take so you can make this year the one you get on top of your finances.

This week I've looked at money you borrow, with a focus on credit cards, overdrafts and mortgages and bringing down the cost of these debts.

3. Six best Tesco Clubcard deals

If you've got any Clubcard points it's worth reading this as my top pick - using them to get cheaper train tickets via Red Spotted Hanky - is closing at the end of the month.

So either act fast to snap up that deal, or see if one of the others I recommend is right for you. Plus the two Clubcard Boosts I think you should avoid.

The top deals this week

I only share deals and special offers on the blog which I think are really good value - and here they are for you too. First some newbies in a bit more detail, then some you might have missed from previous weeks. Click the red titles or blue links for more information.

1. Amazon - free £5 credit when you top up by £40

These deals come and go throughout the year and not everyone is eligible - especially if you've taken advantage before. Well this latest offer, giving you £5 extra credit when you top by £40, is the first that's worked for me in a while, so it's worth taking a look. Credit is valid for 10 years so there's no rush to spend it.

2. Eurostar sale - tickets from £29 one-way

These sales pop-up throughout the year and are a great chance to save on tickets to destinations such as Paris or Amsterdam. This one will let you buy tickets until mid-April.

There's also a new 40% off Travelodge sale (ending Friday), though this is just for Friday or Sunday nights until the end of March, so you'll need to pay full-whack for the Saturday night.

3. Yet another £150 bank switching offer

For the third week in a row, another bank has brought back a bank switching deal. This time it's Natwest, and it's a stronger deal than before with £150 up for grabs.

I recommend the Natwest Rewards account. This comes with a £2 monthly fee but you get cashback on your bills which more than covers it. What also makes it special is even existing Natwest customers can get the bonus if they switch and close an outside account.

4. Huge Morrisons price cuts

It might be worth checking out Morrisons if you've got one near you as the supermarket chain has announced cuts to 900 products as it tries to get more customers through the doors. Remember the app MySupermarket is good for comparing prices at different chains.
