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.

Visit National Trust online to claim a voucher for a free family pass that can be used on any one day up to Friday 20 October (excluding school half-term, though for most that's after this date).
You can get a pass up to 20 October, or until all available passes have been claimed, if that's sooner – National Trust couldn't tell us how many free passes it's offering, so go quick if you want this as it's always mega-popular with MoneySavers. Previous promotions have had between 25,000 and 100,000 available.
This single-use family pass allows two adults and up to three children, or one adult and up to four children, to visit a National Trust site for free in England, Wales and Northern Ireland (National Trust Scotland locations aren't included). For this deal, kids must be five to 17 years old (under-fives go free). You can also use this as a couple or as a single person. On average, the pass would normally cost £25 to £35.
There's nothing to pay for entry, but some car parks charge fees, and this pass doesn't get them for free.
Some National Trust properties require booking in advance (check sites beforehand). You can do this by selecting 'Book a visit' on your chosen property, choosing a member's ticket and entering the code ESCAPEINTOAUTUMN23 when asked for your membership number. By selecting the free member's ticket, you won't need to input any bank details.
You'll need to show your free pass confirmation email when you arrive at your National Trust site – if you booked, you'll need to show your booking email and free pass confirmation email. Mobile coverage may be limited at some National Trust sites, so it's a good idea to download it to your device, or print the email.
There are a few excluded National Trust locations – see 'More info' below for a full list of these.

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.
