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

My top articles this week

1. Changed your mind? Your refund rights

We're likely to spend more at this time of year than any other time, which increases the chances that something we buy won't be right or just doesn't work. Here's my guide to help you work out when you can return something and when you can't.

2. Best value ways to stream movies at home

If you plan to watch lots of movies online this Christmas then this should help. I've compared the different ways to watch movies (renting and subscriptions) and looked at the costs involved with all the major players, including Sky Store, Google Play, Rakuten, Netflix and NOW TV. Find out which one is almost 60% more expensive than the rest!

3. How to get a refund for delayed trains

To much frustration from commuters, this week there were a number of delays on trains up and down the country. With tickets often costing a fortune, it's no wonder people were so angry. If you ever get delayed here's when you can claim your money back and when you can't.

4. Last minute Christmas

Back in October I shared my Christmas money checklist to help you work out everything you needed and get them at the lowest possible prices. Well, with less than a week to go it's time to check it over once more and avoid paying more than you need to for anything you're still to buy, from train travel through to decorations on the tree.

1. Up to 43% off an annual Odeon Limitless pass

Today only you can stack two top deals together. Groupon is offering a discount on Odeon Limitless memberships which give you unlimited access to films for a year, and Quidco is giving premium members 25% off at Groupon. Combined, these deals could mean you pay just £10 a month to see as many films as you want.

2. Sky Cinema pass on NOW TV for £4.99

A decent discount for one month of movies on NOW TV - the normal cost is £11.99 but you can pay just £4.99.

3. ENDING SOON - M&S Bank £180 bank switch bribe

You've only a few weeks to get this longstanding bank switching incentive before it becomes yet another free cash bonus to end. It's £100 in M&S vouchers for switching, then another £80 if you stay a year (£120 if you have an M&S credit card).

4. £15 off £50 of beer

I spotted this deal over on Amazon Pantry this week and have ordered some Goose Island IPAs for Christmas which will work out at around 66% off. You need to be an Amazon Prime member to use Pantry and the current offer is £15 off when you spend £50 on selected items, a huge number of which are beers. Well worth a look.

5. 25% off Amazon Business

Sticking with Amazon, if you've got your own business then you can get a 25% off code when you sign up for Amazon Business. It's for new customers only and there's a maximum discount of £50.

6. Premier League on TV savings

There are lots of fixtures on TV over Christmas and New Year, split between Sky, BT Sport and now Amazon. Here's how you can pay less to watch them all, including 50% off a Sky Sports Month Pass on NOW TV.

7. LAST CHANCE - Amex Shop Small 2019

I've been having a great time taking advantage of the American Express Shop Small promotion which ends this Sunday. So far I've got £150 back in £5s across three cards by spending at least a tenner on eating out (including some of my fave restaurants in London such as Bao and Patty & Bun), drinks out (at both local pubs and craft beer off licences), stamps, greeting cards, gifts (including Beanie Boo toys for my niece) and loads of nice cheese and meats from a local deli. If you've got an Amex but haven't used it yet, this is your last chance.

8. Save money on Star Wars IX: The Rise of Skywalker

By the time you read this I'll have already seen the new, and final, chapter in the Star Wars movies. Here's my pick of the cinema deals that'll get you money off seeing the film this weekend and next.
