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.

National Trust 1-yr family pass £78 (norm £104)
Free entry at 300+ sites for two adults & kids. Incl Churchill's house
Expired
For a year's worth of cheap days out, you can get 25% off National Trust* annual memberships until Tue 31 Mar when you pay the full amount upfront by direct debit (which you can cancel, see below).When you go via our links, the discounted price should appear on screen automatically - if not, simply enter the code NT15018M0 before you pay.
Your membership options:
- Family (two adults with any number of children)* - £78 via this link (norm £104)
- Family (one adult with any number of children)* - £48.75 via this link (norm £65)
- Joint (two adults)* - £74.25 via this link (norm £99)
- Individual (age 16-25)* - £22.50 via this link (norm £30)
- Individual (age 26+)* - £45 via this link (norm £60)
What does it get you?
Free entry and parking at more than 300 historic houses, gardens and nature reserves across England, Wales and Northern Ireland, plus free admission to properties of the National Trust for Scotland. You also get a pair of binoculars, a members' handbook and three editions of the charity's magazine.
Places you can visit for free with membership include Winston Churchill's family home (Chartwell, Kent), Beatrix Potter's 17th-century farmhouse (Hill Top, Cumbria), Agatha Christie's holiday home (Greenway, Devon) and George Bernard Shaw's writing shed (Shaw's Corner, Hertfordshire).
You may sometimes have to pay for parking or entry to specific areas and special events at certain times of the year (eg, Easter egg hunts), so always check in advance.
Is it worth it?
Even with the discount, National Trust membership is only good value if you're going to get your money's worth by visiting lots of stately homes and gardens. For example, for a family to visit Basildon Park house and grounds in Reading (a Downton Abbey filming location) would cost £30+ without membership.
If you live near a National Trust property you visit often, or you regularly travel around to see historic homes and gardens, a membership will normally pay for itself after three or four separate days out.
One extra thing to weigh up is that you have to pay for 12 months upfront to get the discount.
Important: The discounted annual price is an introductory rate for the first year of membership, so once the money's taken from your account you can cancel the direct debit if you want to avoid automatically being charged for a full-price membership next year.

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?

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.

Martin Lewis VIDEO: Should you pay off your Plan 1 student loan?
18 May 2021![]()
If you started university between 1998 and 2012, or since then in Scotland and Northern Ireland, you'll have a Plan 1 student loan. While much is written about whether those with savings should overpay the current English Plan 2 student loans, there's little out there about Plan 1. I wanted to change that, so here's a video explaining how to decide...
