In the last few years up to 10 million more people have started saving into private pensions due to auto-enrolment (for a full explanation read Martin’s message to every employee). So we wanted to know how much you AND/OR your employer (where relevant) contribute towards your pension. Please select the CLOSEST option to the total contributions being made to a private pension this tax year.

There are now only eight months to go until the official date we leave the EU. Over the weekend the cabinet agreed a compromise (with itself) over our trade-negotiating stance, then like a dripping tap the resignations started. Yet there is now sort of a plan in place, so how do you feel about Brexit and how the negotiations are going? Which of these is CLOSEST to your view? PS: It’s likely the proportion of leave/remain voters won’t match the actual vote, as this isn’t a statistical sample of the UK population. More interesting is how each group of voters now feels.

Since the turn of the year over 7,000 jobs have been lost following high street shop closures, and more are under threat as many switch to online shopping.
So how many of you still shop in stores vs online? (Count click-and-collect as online shopping.)
Please select one option CLOSEST to your view, EXCLUDING GROCERIES AND BIG ONE-OFFS (such as cars or holidays).

We want to find out how each provider rates both for service (how they treat you) and coverage (how strong the signal is when you need it). In truth there are only four main networks providing signals, the rest use these but under their own brand (see our mobile networks guide for who piggybacks who). Yet vote for the firm that provides your mobile phone bill, as signal can differ. Please vote for your current provider based on customer service AND coverage over the last year.

Scams are getting more professional. Nearly 1 in 5 are now complex, polished and involve legal and financial elements. We all need to guard ourselves – see 30+ Ways to Stop Scams. However, some are embarrassed that they’ve been scammed and don’t admit it. Which of these is CLOSEST to your view?

We used to let the train take the strain – though in the last few weeks rail chaos has meant it’s been the cause of it. Privatisation over 20 years ago means our trains are currently run by 30 private rail firms. Could renationalising – taking it all back into public ownership – be the solution? It’s a complex debate, so just opt for which of these is CLOSEST to your view.

More and more of us now bank or save by app, so we want you to rate yours. Please vote for ALL THE APPS that you've used. NOTE: When we say standard features we mean it only has the likes of account details and transactions. Lots of features means it offers extras such as budgeting and categorising your spending.

We believe you should get travel insurance ASAB (As Soon As you've Booked) as you're then covered if you have to cancel any time BEFORE your holiday begins. Yet whether you're going abroad or staying in the UK, do you risk going without it? For more help, see our Cheap Travel Insurance guide. Please select the option which is the closest for your next holiday.

Now it's warmed up, it's a good time to reappraise what your energy provider's service was like over the winter. Please rate your current supplier's SERVICE (not price) IN THE LAST SIX MONTHS (try to forget issues from before). If you've gas & elec with different firms, rate both. (And while service is important, so too is price - so do a five-min comparison to see if you can save.)

In England and Scotland your council tax band depends on your home’s value in 1991 (Wales 2005), when the last (and only) valuation was done. It’s likely 100,000s of homes are in the wrong band as drive-by 'second-gear valuations' were commonplace. (See our Council Tax Check & Challenge guide.) However, redoing it would likely see widespread changes to valuations and risk some paying substantially more (others less). Is it worth it? Some may argue the whole system should be scrapped, but that’s a different poll. So… Please choose the option closest to your view:
