Shoppers who bought products and experiences from deals site Wowcher say they have been unwittingly signed up and charged £4.99 for its annual VIP subscription service. Here's all you need to know.

MoneySavingExpert.com has submitted its concerns about daily deals sites to the major players. As part of our proposed shake-up, we've asked them to adopt a code of conduct to protect consumers.
