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.

RedSpottedHanky £5 off £25 train tickets
Newbies only, get code via Blagged link. £1 booking fee
ExpiredTrain booking site RedSpottedHanky* is offering 3,000 £5 discount codes for those who haven't signed up to its site before. There's a £25 minimum spend – this can be on one journey, or made up of multiple journeys, as long as they're part of the same booking – and the code can be used with railcard discounts.
You have to pay a £1 booking fee per transaction at RedSpottedHanky – which counts towards the £25 minimum spend – but its prices are the same as buying direct from the rail company in most cases (excluding short-lived promos), so you’ll effectively be saving £4 with this deal. As always, do compare prices first to ensure there are no sales which could make your ticket cheaper elsewhere.
How to get the £5 discount code
- Go via this blagged RedSpottedHanky* link and enter your name and email address.
- You'll be sent an email before Fri 19 May with a unique 'PIN' code which you need to enter on the site (you won't receive an email immediately – RedSpottedHanky says it needs time to check eligible email addresses before sending them out).
- Choose your ticket/tickets before 11.59pm on Mon 12 Jun and the £5 will automatically be deducted when your total booking is £25 or more (incl booking fee).
The deal is due to end at 10am on Mon 15 May, but as there are only 3,000 codes available, the brakes could be applied before then.
Codes can only be used once and you can book tickets up to 12 weeks ahead. The code can't be used with any other voucher or code, such as Tesco Clubcard vouchers.
There's no booking fee when buying tickets via the RedSpottedHanky app, but you can only use discount codes on the desktop or mobile site.

RedSpottedHanky £5 off £50 train tickets
Newbies only, sign up to get unique code. £1 booking fee
ExpiredTrain booking site RedSpottedHanky* is offering 6,000 £5 discount codes for those who haven't signed up to its site before. There's a £50 minimum spend – this can be on one journey, or made up of multiple journeys, as long as they're part of the same booking. There's a £1 booking fee per transaction.
How to get the £5 discount code
- Visit this RedSpottedHanky* link and enter your name and email address.
- An email will be sent to you with a unique 'PIN' code.
- Click 'Claim My £5' in the email when you want to use it – you'll be taken to the RSH site.
- Enter your email address and PIN code and click 'Activate'.
- The £5 will automatically be deducted when your total booking is £50 or more.
The deal is due to end at 3pm on Thu 20 Oct, but as there are only 6,000 codes available, the brakes could be applied before then.
Codes can only be used once and expire at 11.59pm on Fri 25 Nov – but you can book tickets up to 12-weeks ahead, so you can use the discount on Christmas and New Year travel.
Prices on RedSpottedHanky are the same as buying direct from train operators most of the time (excl booking fee), but always compare to check you're getting the cheapest price.

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.

When will your student loan be written off, cancelled, or paid off?
5 November 2024![]()
It’s a question I’m asked all the time. Many know that current students no longer need to repay their loans 30 years after the April following graduation, yet for those who started university before 2012, there are a variety of options. This information has been a long-term part of my Should I repay my student loan? guide (where... -
Stopcock tips – can you find yours?
15 October 2024![]()
A stopcock is your mains water tap (the off switch). Everyone should know where theirs is, especially at this time of year when pipes can burst due to frost. If you don’t know where yours is, your house could be flooded with water everywhere, while you have no idea how to stop it. -

7 November 2024![]()
