• Should differential pricing for loyalty scheme members be made illegal?

• What are your house-moving tips that don't appear on the usual checklists?

Money Moral Dilemma

Every week, the Money Tips email features a real-life Money Moral Dilemma (MMD for short). They're intended to encourage debate and, as such, they're usually among the most discussed threads each week.

See what our MSE Forumites had to say and add your own thoughts on the Money Moral Dilemma discussion thread. Do please stick to the MSE Forum rules: keep it kind and keep it clean. Remember, there's a real person behind every dilemma.

Got a Money Moral Dilemma of your own? Email us at MMD@moneysavingexpert.com and it could be featured.

Soontobeoap bought a cutting machine last November but has only just got round to experimenting with it, and these are some of the greetings cards they've produced. Check out our Crafting board for loads more creative inspiration.

Please note: We love seeing your photos in the MSE Forum, but if you're uploading one, make sure it doesn't include any personally-identifiable information such as your face or address.

Latest comping wins

After three years of entering competitions without a win, Bondieboy struck gold this week with the news that they're the proud owner of a new iPhone 15 Pro and £1,000 to spend on fashion with eBay.

Meanwhile Oreo the dog will soon be enjoying the comfort of a £180 luxury dog bed, after their owner won another comp they'd spotted on the MSE Forum.
