If you click a link with an * to go through to a provider, we may get paid. This usually only happens if you get a product from it. This is what funds our team of journalists, and keeps us free to use. Yet there are two crucial things you need to know about this.
- This never impacts our editorial recommendations – if it's in, it's in there because we independently rate it best.
- You'll always get as good a deal (or better) than if you went direct.

5,000 FREE National Outdoor Expo tickets
For Sat 19-Sun 20 Mar at the NEC, Birmingham. Normally £10
ExpiredUpdate 2.02pm Fri 11 Mar: This deal has been really popular with MoneySavers and all 5,000 tickets have now sold out.
If you like the great outdoors, this one's for you. Register online at the National Outdoor Expo and enter the code MONEYSAVING, to get free weekend tickets for Birmingham's show at the National Exhibition Centre for Sat 19 Mar and Sun 20 Mar. The event takes place from 9am-5pm and you can use your ticket for both days.
There are 5,000 tickets available until 11.59pm on Tue 15 Mar that usually cost £10 per adult (children aged 16 or under can attend for free). The National Outdoor Expo says there is no limit on how many tickets each household can get.
You'll receive a confirmation email from See Tickets once you've registered and the tickets will be sent to you via email a week before the event. You can either print these out or show them on your phone on the day.
If you're driving to the NEC, you may want to book parking in advance as it'll cost £12 rather than £20 on the day.
What is the National Outdoor Expo?
There are many events taking place on both days including a 'fireside chat' with guest speaker Ben Fogle on Sat morning, and other talks including trail running top tips and map reading top tips, so it might be worth taking a look at the event schedule if you'd like to plan ahead.
There will also be influencers with interactive features such as rope walks, zip-lines, climbing and cooking demonstrations and top brands exhibiting their latest products.
If you're planning on using public transport to get to the event, see MSE Kelvin's Cheap train tickets guide.

Use the Money Mantras
Before spending, use Martin’s Mantras. If you answer 'NO' to any, then don't buy!
Then ask:
- Do I need it?
- Can I afford it?
- Have you checked prices elsewhere?
Then ask:
- Will I use it?
- Is it worth it?
Free protection for all shopping!
There's a little-known piece of legislation that turns any credit card into a financial self-defence superhero. 'Section 75' of the Consumer Credit Act means your plastic must protect anything you buy for more than £100 for free, so if there's a problem or the company goes bust, you can still get your money back.
And although Section 75 doesn't apply to debit cards, there is something else to fall back on if you've paid using a debit card, or used a credit card for a purchase under £100. Known as Chargeback, this is part of banks' and card companies' internal rules and not a legal requirement. Read full details of Section 75 or Chargeback, plus how to claim, in our guides.
What the * means above
If a link has an * by it, that means it is an affiliated link and therefore it helps MoneySavingExpert stay free to use, as it is tracked to us. If you go through it, it can sometimes result in a payment or benefit to the site. It's worth noting this means the third party used may be named on any credit agreements.
You shouldn’t notice any difference and the link will never negatively impact the product. Plus the editorial line (the things we write) is NEVER impacted by these links. We aim to look at all available products. If it isn't possible to get an affiliate link for the top deal, it is still included in exactly the same way, just with a non-paying link. For more details, read How this site is financed.

27 March 2023![]()

That has now changed, with Ovo launching a one-year fix for existing customers that undercuts the EPG level of £2,500 a year.
