BLOG: Santander 123 to change AGAIN
If you've got a Santander 123 or 123 Lite account, get ready for yet another cut to how much you'll earn.
Here's what's changing, and how to work out if the cashback on bills is worth it for you.
BLOG: Monzo Plus review
The digital bank Monzo has been a big hit, and rightly so. But does this new premium version of their account (launched late last week) merit you parting with £5 a month?
I've had a look at what you'll get in return, including virtual debit cards and improved budgeting features.
BLOG: Loop reusable packaging supermarket: How it works
I think most of us will agree that less single use plastic in supermarkets will be a good thing, and this new online supermarket, in partnership with Tesco, is set up to do just that.
All packaging is reusable, so you'll return it after use to get cleaned and refilled. I've taken a look at how it works and how much more it'll cost you to use.
PODCAST: Cash Chats #133: Do you need income protection?
This week I've been joined by my friend and fellow money journalist Kara Gammell to talk about the different type of income protection and why you might need to get it.

The top deals this week
I only share deals and special offers on the blog which I think are really good value. Click the red titles or blue links for more information.
Plus, it's worth following me on Instagram where I post any extra deals which come too late for the newsletter, including a deals of the week video update on Friday.
1. More Amazon discount vouchers
There's a new set of money back and money off vouchers at Amazon, including £10 for using an HSBC debit card, using the app and more. Of course, as ever, these offers are for eligible customers only. Here's what's available and how to see if you can get it.
2. Amazon device deals
I'm really loathe to keep sharing Amazon offers, but there are some decent discounts on things like Echo speakers and Kindles this week. Of course you can buy them from other retailers as they tend to price match.
3. £10 off first Uber Eats order
Sadly the new customer deals have reduced to £10 off a £15 spend, but that's still a decent discount if you're after a takeaway.
4. 10% off Brewdog beer orders
I've spotted a few new deals for craft beer, including 10% off first-time users of the Brewdog site and Flavourly bundles on Wowcher. Here's more on these and other offers.
5. Amex Shop Small: £5 back when you spend £10 (up to £50 back)
Don't forget the American Express Shop Small promotion is up and running, and there will be more local retailers you can redeem it at as more and more shops and restaurants open their doors. Here's how it works.
