  • PayPal free £10 voucher for students

    PayPal free £10 voucher for students

    Via Unidays. New PayPal account holders only

    Unidays members can bag a free £10 PayPal voucher when they sign up for a new PayPal account. Sign into Unidays (membership is free but requires a valid student email address) and click 'Get now' to register for a new PayPal account. Existing PayPal customers don't qualify. You've got until 11.59pm on Mon 30 Sep to sign up.

    Within 48 hours of registering for your new account you'll receive an email (if you've opted into emails) confirming you have a £10 voucher to spend. You'll find it in your PayPal Wallet under 'Offers'. This can't be withdrawn as cash - instead it will appear as a voucher which you can choose to apply to your next PayPal spend.. It's valid with just about every merchant that accepts payments via PayPal, but there are a few exclusions - see 'More info' below for a list. You need to use your voucher by 11.59pm on Fri 4 Oct or you’ll lose it.

    You don't have to use your student email address when creating the PayPal account. In fact, Unidays recommends using a personal email address so that you can continue to use the account after you've graduated.

    Have you seen our Student MoneySaving guides?

    • More info

      The offer can't be used with any others.

      The PayPal voucher can't be used on donations, gift voucher payments, gift cards, 'send money' transactions, eBay seller fees, eBay purchases paid via eBay invoice or using the ‘Add to Cart’ button, and Uber payments. Be aware that other exclusions might apply.

  • PayPal free £5-£50 cash if you're lucky

    PayPal free £5-£50 cash if you're lucky

    Allocated at random. Log into your account to see if you've won

    If you've a PayPal account, there's a small chance you've won a cash prize. PayPal has given away £1 million in denominations of £5-£50 which are divvied up at random in its 'Golden Ticket Giveaway'. Simply log in to check you’ve been allocated a prize (a ‘golden ticket’ will be displayed). While the chances are low, it should only take a minute or two to check.

    If you've been lucky, the amount will be added to your PayPal credit and will be applied to your next PayPal spend automatically, BUT you need to spend it by 11.59pm on Mon 30 Sep, after which any unspent prize money will disappear.

    It's valid on any online purchases through PayPal so long as it's in GBP, with a few exceptions (see 'More info' below for a list), there's no minimum spend and you don’t have to use it all in one go - so you could choose to expend it in multiple smaller transactions.

    For a more proactive approach to earning extra cash, see our tips on how to make money online.

    MSE LAURA F says:

    PayPal tells us there are 26 million UK PayPal accounts, across which it’s dished out £1 million in £5, £10 and £50 prizes. I’m roughly estimating this gives PayPal account holders less than 1% chance of winning a cash prize. Odds aside, I reckon it’s definitely worth taking a moment to check if you’re one of the fortunate. Good luck!

    • More info

      The cash prize cannot be withdrawn from your account (it can only be redeemed against an online purchase). It cannot be spent on donations, gift cards/vouchers, person-to-person payment transactions, eBay seller fees, eBay purchases paid via an eBay invoice, eBay purchases using the ‘Add to Cart’ button, or Uber payments.

      You must have a UK PayPal account in good standing (not in breach of its User Agreement) to be eligible.

Martin's Money Mantras

Before spending

If you answer 'NO' to any of the following questions, don't buy.

Skint? Ask:

  • Do I need it?
  • Can I afford it?

Not skint? 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.
