Your weekly money saving deals and news from money expert Andy Webb
My top articles this week
1. How to sell your old phone and make some money
If you're about to upgrade or just have an old handset sitting around then how you sell it can make a big difference to how much money you get. I've shared what you need to do before selling one, the ways you can do it, and how much you can expect to get.
2. Contactless payment declined? You might just need to enter your PIN
New rules to help prevent fraud could cause you a little embarrassment or inconvenience when paying with contactless. Here's more on why you could get your payment declined, and a few other changes to your online banking and shopping online.
3. Cash hack: The loophole that boosts your supermarket spending
OK, I'm going to mention the C word here... It's less than 100 days now until Christmas and that means supermarket saver schemes are coming to a close over the next month or two. I'm not a fan of these as ways to save money, but it is possible to use them to get up to 6% back on your shopping and limit the risk normally associated with them. Here's how to take advantage at Asda, Tesco, Morrisons and Co-op.
