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.

Within 48 hours of registering for your new account you'll receive an email (if you've opted into emails) confirming you have a £5 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 This can't be withdrawn as cash - instead it will appear as a voucher which you can choose to apply to your next PayPal spend of £10 or more.
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 £5 off £10 voucher by 11.59pm on Tue 10 Nov 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.

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.

Received car finance mis-selling compensation out of the blue? It DOESN'T stop you complaining about the latest scandal
