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.

Eurostar £70 return to Paris, Lille or Brussels
Plus trick to get extra 5% off via TrainPal (makes it £66.50 return), or 10% credit back via Uber
ExpiredEurostar has launched a flash sale with fares at £35 one-way, meaning you can get £70 return tickets to Paris, Lille or Brussels from London St Pancras International – the cheapest price for Eurostar fares. The sale ends at 10.59pm on Thursday 12 September, but it's best to do it ASAP as the cheapest fares often sell out fast.
The £35 fares are for travel from Tuesday 24 September to Wednesday 27 November, depending on availability (though some dates are excluded, see 'More info' below). Plus, we've a code to get an extra 5% off – so you could bag a return journey from £66.50 – or book via Uber and you'll get 10% credit back. Here are your booking options:
Option 1: Book via third-party booking site TrainPal to get a 2% or 5% discount
Sign up or log in to TrainPal*, and enter the code MSE35 at the checkout. If you're new to TrainPal you'll get 5% off with this code, making the cheapest return journey £66.50. If you've already got an account with it, you'll get 2% off via the same code, making the cheapest return £68.60.
To find the £35 Eurostar fares, you'll need to enter your destination (Paris, Lille, Amsterdam, Rotterdam or Brussels) and search for a return journey – you won't see the extra cheap fares if you search for one-way only.
TrainPal told us you can use the discount code once per account and it's valid for 90 days once redeemed. The code is active until Tuesday 31 December, so even if you decide not to use the code for Eurostar tickets, you can still use it on a different journey booked via TrainPal. There are no fees when booking via TrainPal and you'll receive digital tickets (same as booking direct).
When registering with TrainPal, you might receive an email from sister brand Trip.com too. Don't worry, this won't sign you up to Trip.com – TrainPal also uses the Trip.com email domain when sending emails to its users.
Option 2: Book tickets via Uber to get 10% credit back
You can also book train tickets, including Eurostar, via Uber and get 10% back in Uber credit. There's no booking fee here either. The Uber credit will appear within 60 days of completing your journey, and it'll be valid for a further 180 days – it can be used on a future train or taxi booking, or Uber Eats order. This could be a good option if you regularly use the Uber app for travelling as you're essentially getting cashback to use towards your next journey.
Option 3: Book tickets directly with Eurostar, without the extra discount or credit
Head to the Eurostar website. You'll need to book a return journey to get the cheapest £35 tickets, as they're not available on single journeys.
How good is the deal and which services are cheap tickets available on?
Eurostar wouldn't tell us how many fares are at £35, but when we checked on Tuesday 10 September there were a good amount of £35 seats across both weekdays and weekends too, so it's possible to secure cheap seats for a long weekend. Return ticket prices usually range from £39 to £339, and the cheapest of these tend to be very limited, mostly off-peak and need to be booked well in advance, so we reckon this is a good deal given we could find plenty of £35 fares.
The £35 seats are randomly spread across all included dates on both peak and off-peak trains, so it could be trial and error finding the cheap seats. Keep in mind you'll have a better chance of snagging a cheap fare if you're flexible on your travel times and dates.

Wetherspoon 7.5% off food & drink on Thursday
At most pubs. Excludes alcohol in Scotland
ExpiredFor one day only, pub chain Wetherspoon is taking 7.5% off the price of all food and drink, including alcohol at most of its pubs in England, Wales and Northern Ireland (find your nearest). The offer applies to Scotland too, but alcohol won't be discounted.
On Thursday 12 September, you'll be able to rock up at a participating Wetherspoon (all pubs excluding at airports and Haven holiday park) at any time during opening hours and automatically receive the reduced price – no voucher or code is needed.
Items will be priced as normal in the menu, but you'll get the discount when you pay at the bar or through the Wetherspoon app. For example, if your meal and drink cost £10, you'll pay £9.25. Wetherspoon says meal deals such as its Thursday 'Curry Club' will also be eligible for the 7.5% discount.
This isn't the first time Wetherspoon has offered a day of 7.5% price reductions – it calls it 'Tax Equality Day' and has done it annually for the last few years – though since 'Spoons hardly ever offers widespread discounts, this is a rare chance to grab cheaper pub grub.Please be Drinkaware.

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.

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.
