The following is the text of the Money Tip sent out on the 4th Septmeber


 


Last chance to get 10 months 0% interest.
Currently the longest no-shenanigans (see Barclaycard hunt below) 0% offer on the market, the RBS Advanta U card can be ‘configured' to last 10 months interest free.  This ends tomorrow night as it's reconfiguring its website and when it returns the best available will be nine months. So apply quickly if you want the full ten. To do it click here and remember the ten months is only with the “Create Your Own Card” option not the others.


 


Chat Tip: Manipulate £15 off your Sainsbury AND Tesco shopping bill


I've emailed before about the CHAT tip on combining a variety of online Sainsbury vouchers to get £20 off your order (click here to read it). Now a bright spark (go Dannyboy!) has worked out that as Tesco has a policy that it will accept Sainsbury/Safeway vouchers, the same can be done there – click here to read that.


The Great 0% Barclaycard Hunt Update


A fantastic response to my last e-mail about spotting the places where you can still sign up for the real 0% for life Barclaycard not the pants one now in branches.  There's now lots of places people have spotted the stalls, click here to find out and click here to read my article on how to correctly work the 0% for life.


 


Rumours of energy cashback demise greatly exaggerated.


Simply Energy is extending its cashback comparison offer for September as well as the original August.  This means you can still call to compare the cheapest gas and electricity supplier plus get up to £30 cashback.  To read the pros and cons click here.
