I ordered money online, got a date to collect it but I can’t make it to that date. Can I collect it the next day?

Thank you for your comment.

Yes, you can collect it the next day. Please note that as soon as the store receives your order, they will send you a text message or email to tell you that it’s available for collection. Your order will be held in store for 10 days, after this time it will be returned to their depot and you will be refunded.

When buying foreign currency from Asda, are there any commission charges? My credit card receipt showed a figure but my credit card statement showed a higher figure. I bought US and Canadian dollars.

Hello Royston,

Upon checking, Asda money will buy back most foreign currency notes you have at 0% commission, whether you bought the currency from them or not. In addition, you will not be charged a card processing fee by Asda if you choose to pay by debit or credit card. However, your card issuer may apply additional charges and they recommend that you check this with your card provider before you buy currencies.

How long have you got to collect an order

Thanks for reaching out to finder.

If you fail to collect your order from ASDA nominated locations within 4 working days of the collection time then your order will be marked as non-collected. Your order will then be cancelled and will be automatically refunded onto the payment card at the daily buy back rate minus an administration charge of £15.

I hope this helps.

Cheers, Charisse

Developer Response ,

Hi. Thank you so much for your review! Kind regards, Online Support Team

Terrible app and customer service

I am currently in Spain, brought the Asda Travel Money card before departing the UK. I downloaded the app for ease. It took me around 20 plus attempts just to register my card! Once registered, it just keeps crashing. I can’t see my balance or top up the card. After many attempts, I reluctantly called customer service, which kept dropping the call. I tried one last time only to receive a voicemail saying they are having technical issues and to call back in 4 hours! I am due to head out for the day, but now have to stay at in as I cannot top up my card. Absolute shambles! You would think a multi billion pound company would have a workable app / service. I am trying to give you money for goodness sake! I would give it a zero if I could. Thanks for spoiling my holiday.

Hi, sorry to hear this, so we can investigate the issue further, please can we ask you to email us at [email protected] so that we can follow up and perhaps provide a resolution. Kind regards, Online Support Team

Get ready for a hassle

When opening the travel card at the Asda branch, they failed to inform me that this card has one of the most pointless policies I have ever heard, it can only be topped up once every 24hrs. Luckily I tried to top it up before my flight as I would have found myself with no money on the card before the initial 24hr period. Now, when registering on the app, I would continuously receive the prompt stating I have entered incorrect information. So had to call customer service and they confirmed the info was indeed correct and then they had to register my details on the account before setting up the app.

A Guide to Travel Money Cards

Often deemed the cheapest way to spend money abroad , travel money cards are deemed a failsafe option for many travellers. Given the rapid growth of the financial services sector, we want to find out if travel money cards are still as cutting edge as they once were, by comparing them to the new alternatives. Our job is to identify the best international money transfer services and payment providers in the industry: will travel money cards make the cut?

What are travel money cards?

Travel money cards are a popular payment method for individuals headed abroad. Customers will load funds onto the card, using the money as foreign currency when overseas, much like a debit card is used at home. Also known as travel money prepaid cards or currency cards, they facilitate free foreign transactions and overseas ATM withdrawals.

We recommend finding a travel money card which lets you lock-in a favourable exchange rate and supports multiple currencies on one card, to make sure you are securing a flexible and cost-effective deal.

How do you use a travel money card?

Using a travel money card should be straightforward and stress-free. Simply load funds onto the card before you leave, and once abroad, you will be able to reload funds and change currencies using the website or associated money transfer app . The card can be used to make withdrawals, in-store purchases and book travel arrangements.

Where can I get a travel money card?

Travel money cards are available from different retailers and can be purchased and preloaded online, over the phone or in-store, depending on the brand. In the UK, popular brands include Travelex and the Post Office.

Where can I use a travel money card?

Again, this depends on the brand and where you get your money travel card from. Available currencies vary from card to card but commonly used currencies include US Dollars, UK Pound sterling, Euros, Japanese Yen and New Zealand Dollars. Make sure you check with the provider before ordering a travel money card.

How secure are travel money cards?

Generally, travel money cards are considered a lot safer than handling multiple currencies in cash, or travellers cheques, as your provider will be able to cancel it if need be. Furthermore, some of the best travel money cards employ an equivalent level of security to traditional debit cards, including a PIN code, touch ID and face recognition.

Many consider it safer to use a travel money card abroad than a debit card, as they are not associated with your bank account and therefore cannot be linked if lost or stolen.

Travel money cards vs. Credit cards: What is the difference?

One of the biggest advantages of using a travel money card is that your chosen currency is preloaded before you arrive in the foreign country and you won’t be charged conversion fees. This means you are able to benefit from the most favourable exchange rates, locking it in ahead of time and using the funds at a later date.

Most people who use their credit card abroad do it because it is more convenient. The cost of this convenience, however, can sometimes amount to 3 - 5% per use, depending on the transaction and financial institution. Making a foreign ATM withdrawal with your credit card can incur flat-fees of $5 and up, each time.

This being said, there are some excellent traveller credit cards on the market, so we would recommend users compare exchange rates and transfer fees offered by each provider before making a decision on which card is more beneficial.

If you're planning on using your credit card, we suggest you take a look at our credit card wire transfer guide.

What are the alternatives to travel money cards?

Multi-currency accounts.

International money transfer companies are often tailoring their products and services to meet the needs of their customers. Wise , offers a multi-currency account designed with “international people" in mind. This savvy travel credit card is aimed at frequent flyers who want to spend in various currencies in over 200 countries. Wise is a reliable company to trust with your overseas spending habits.

Challenger banks

More and more alternative service providers are popping up around the world, many of them offering reputable banking features for the modern traveller. In a bid to distinguish themselves from traditional banks, challenger banks are scrapping fees on foreign exchange and international spending. Monzo customers, for example, can benefit from free international ATM withdrawals as well as fee-free spending overseas.

We hope this guide to travel money cards has enlightened you and helped you make a decision about whether this is a suitable payment method for your next trip overseas. We appreciate the value of your hard-earned cash and want all our customers to benefit from the best possible rates when dealing with international payments. Use our comparison tool today to make sure you are offered the most desirable exchange rate for your currency.

How Do Prepaid Travel Cards Work?

How do prepaid travel cards work?

Prepaid travel cards are a handy and cost-effective way to manage your holiday money. Find out more, including how to choose the right card for your needs.

Couple paying bill in a restaurant with card.

Prepaid currency cards, also known as multicurrency cards, travel money cards, prepaid travel cards and forex cards, are designed to be a safe and straightforward way to use money abroad.

Providers often have slightly different rules for their prepaid cards, but typically, you load money onto them before your holiday and then use them like regular bank cards while you’re away. That means you can use them for everyday spending and even cash withdrawals.

There are two main types.

Multi-currency cards allow you to load numerous currencies onto one card. You choose the currency you need and then add cash at an agreed-upon exchange rate. This can be a great way of locking in rates and is handy if you’re travelling to several countries.

Prepaid sterling cards allow you to load money in pounds, which is exchanged when you use it abroad. The downside of this is that you won’t know what rate you’ll get and could be impacted by currency fluctuations.

Never use a credit card to top up a prepaid card, as this counts as a cash withdrawal and could lead to hefty fees from your credit card company. Instead, use a debit card or bank transfer.

Learn more about withdrawing cash while abroad

What exchange rate will I get on my prepaid card?

The exchange rate you get depends on the provider. Some offer the interbank rate (the rate banks charge each other), some use the rates set by Mastercard or Visa, while others add their own foreign exchange fee. Finding a card that pays the interbank rate will give you the best deal overall.

Find out how to avoid currency conversion while abroad

What fees and charges apply to a prepaid card?

Checking all the fees and charges before choosing a prepaid card is essential. Some will have few or no fees, while others will have a long list.

The key ones to look out for are:

Application fees – a charge for getting your first card, often £5-£10

Replacement fees – a charge if your card is lost or stolen, or, in some cases, to replace the card after a year, meaning you’ll need to pay to keep using it and access your funds

Transaction fees – usually charged as a percentage or a flat fee when you use the card to make purchases

Withdrawal fees – a cost for using the card to withdraw money at a cashpoint

Inactivity charges – some providers will charge a fee if you don’t use the card within a certain period – for instance, a month

Advantages and disadvantages of a prepaid travel card

Advantages of a prepaid travel card

You can lock in advantageous rates by loading money in advance

It’s easier to set and stick to a budget

Thieves only have access to the funds loaded on the card if it’s stolen

Many prepaid travel cards have helpful security features, such as enabling you to use an app to block a card that’s gone missing

Perks like cashback or travel insurance are available with some cards

Disadvantages of a prepaid card

Some have long lists of fees and charges, including replacement fees you need to pay every year

There are maximum loading or withdrawal limits on some cards

You can’t always use them to hire cars or at petrol stations

Sometimes, you have to pay for a replacement card if yours goes missing

Not all cards are widely accepted everywhere - you should check which cards work in your destination country before applying

What to consider when getting a prepaid travel card

When choosing a card, the first thing to check is that it offers the currency you need. Some cards provide just a few options, while others have more than 50.

Next, you should check the exchange rate you’ll get. Ideally, you want the interbank rate. However, some have quirky rules. For instance, Revolut offers the interbank rate from Monday to Friday but charges up to a 1% fee on weekends. You can beat this by loading the card during the week to spend on Saturday and Sunday.

Unless you’re a frequent traveller, avoid cards that charge a fee if you don’t use them. And make sure that any cash withdrawal limits suit your spending needs.

Alternatives to prepaid travel cards

Prepaid cards aren’t the only way to get a good deal on your travel money. You should also consider the following methods.

Specialist travel debit and credit cards

Most credit and debit cards are expensive to use abroad because they charge foreign transaction fees, sometimes with a chunky flat fee on top. However, specialist cards often provide fee-free spending and interbank exchange rates. Lots also have perks such as cashback or free cash withdrawals. Opting for a credit card will give you Section 75 protection, but you must pay it off in full each month to avoid hefty interest charges.

Foreign currency

If you want to exchange foreign currency for cash, shop around ahead of your trip. Avoid getting holiday money at the airport unless it’s an emergency, as it’s typically very expensive (even pre-booking an exchange and picking up money at the airport can be cheaper than arranging it at the last minute). Getting money online, at a local exchange or at the post office will almost always result in a better deal than using airport bureaux.

ERG is subject to rate verification, applies only to transactions where you are exchanging Pounds Sterling for personal use into any of the foreign currencies sold and in stock at the time of purchase. Excludes Sterling products. Not available in conjunction with any other offer related to exchange rates.

We will not refund your transaction to offer you a better rate if you try to use the Asda Rate Guarantee after you have purchased your foreign currency from us.

Asda exchange rates may vary whether you are buying in-store, online or over the phone.

Ordered a currency card

Appalling customer service. Cost more in fees and time. Had to use an alternative card which fortunately I had taken abroad with me. Will not use again

They are garbage , the app is abhorrent, I tried to check my balance , everything I entered my unique one time number it was rejected.

Bought £200 worth of Euros

Went to Asda in Spondon, Derby. Exchanged 200 pound for euros. No questions asked, nothing explained. When i got home I found out that the lady charge me for exchange fees. How can you charge someone without explanation? Will never use their service ever again.

21 February 2024

I put £200.00 in my travel card went to make sure that it had gone onto the card but the money is nowhere to be seen contacted card services who then contacted Travelex and still no sign of the money, I have contacted my bank they are now looking into this.

28 January 2024

Bought travel money

Ordered local currency for Barbados. Ordered on Monday and told it would be a few days and we would be phoned. Not heard anything so went in Friday - going away next Thursday, nothing arrived. Telephone call Saturday afternoon to say they can’t get any! Very unreliable!

15 January 2024

Bought £50 worth of Euros

Got my travel money card today, and it was a piece of cake with the help of Millie in the Spondon branch. Any worries were put at ease, so helpful in how to setup it up and knowing how I can use the card when aboard. I was really happy with the service provided.

Bought £100 worth of Euros

quick straight forward service

18 December 2023

Bought £1 worth of US dollars

This is the fourth time I have attempted to use the service in Asda Fareham, as it is the only place within a few miles that sells foreign currency. 3 pre ordered and today randomly.

Each and every time there has been a note to say just popped out, be back at a certain time and this is not usually between 12 & 2. It is usually just after 3pm for pre ordered. Today, I randomly popped in at 12.20 and once again, there was a note to say that the person has popped out and will be back at 12.50. Surely if their website displays opening times, a member of staff should be there to serve customers or they should display opening hours open and not actually on lunch or gone out etc…it’s not cheap to keep having to drive backwards and forwards, 6 miles to be precise to not be able to get the money ordered or even randomly. Asda, this needs sorting out!

Had to put in an amount that I supposedly purchased to leave review.

7 November 2023

Like Sue Williams says on her review I was charged a buy back fee without an explanation.

As a pensioner £2.99 Charge for nothing is better in my pocket.

I was so mad I went back the next day. The same girl said I always explain this Charge!

Not to me you didn't as we never return Euros.

I insisted on having the money back, which she finally agreed to.

3 November 2023

Bought £500 worth of Euros

Had a great experience in the Blackburn asda with the help of a lovely women Heena. Was a great help with everything as it was my first time exchanging money. Great customer service from her. Would definitely recommend to go to the Blackburn asda will be going again.

29 October 2023

Bought £250 worth of Euros

I always go to the bureau in clayton green, I always get good service from the two ladies there, I got tips etc about where I was going last time and its always service with a smile and welcoming

21 October 2023

Bought £1 worth of Euros

29 September 2023

What ever you do don’t get one of these Asda travel money cards. Ive waited over 4 days to get a response to an email regarding a problem registering my card. I’ve sent all information requested and yet I’m still waiting. I’m starting to panic as I’m getting low on cash. Dreadful customer service you try finding numbers from abroad. Trying that this doesn’t ruin holiday.

21 September 2023

Sold 500 US dollars

I went to Asda exchange some US Dollars to pounds today just after 5pm. The gentleman who was serving did not seem to be professional at all. I gave him the dollars, he counted, asked for ID, gave him ID, then he looked into his till, and he said to me he does not have enough money to exchange. He could only exchange half of it. This is an exchange place and they did not have money. They need more professional people there. Disappointed. This guy was not fit for the job. Sorry.

7 September 2023

Bought £250 worth of Danish kroner

Turned up to collect currency I ordered 4 days prior. I arranged to collect the travel money at 2.56pm and was told I couldn’t have it till after 3. Won’t used Asda again and staff was cocky

Key takeaways

A travel credit card offers points or miles for the purchases you make with the card that you can redeem for future travel.
Travel credit cards come in all shapes and sizes, from co-branded hotel or airline cards to general travel cards that allow points and miles transfers to partner brands.
In terms of redemption, you'll typically get the most value by redeeming toward travel in your issuer's portal or by transferring rewards to hotel and airline loyalty programs.
Before applying for a travel card, consider its fees, ongoing rewards structure and first-year welcome bonus opportunity.

Travel credit cards make it easy to earn rewards — usually offered in the form of points or miles — for certain types of purchases. You can typically redeem your travel rewards for the big expenses associated with your next trip such as flights, hotels, car rentals and vacation packages. Some issuers also let you redeem travel rewards for statement credits and other non-travel options.

Some travel credit cards are associated with a specific airline or hotel loyalty program, whereas others let you earn rewards within a credit card’s rewards program . At the end of the day, you’ll want to understand the type of travel rewards your card offers, as well as available redemption options before you sign up.

Regardless of which type of card you choose, becoming a savvy travel rewards credit card holder can help offset travel costs and enhance your overall travel experience.

Types of travel credit cards

No matter your spending habits and rewards preferences, there’s likely a travel credit card that fits. Top travel credit cards include flexible rewards cards and those that are co-branded with another program, such as hotel credit cards and airline credit cards.

Flexible travel credit cards

Hotel credit cards, airline credit cards, how to redeem points and miles.

Once you’ve met the requirements for a hefty welcome offer or earned enough miles to cover your next flight or hotel stay, how do you redeem them? The kind of travel card you have and its respective rewards program determine how you can apply those rewards. If you have a hotel or airline credit card, you can typically only redeem those points with their respective loyalty programs, with a few exceptions. However, there are more ways to redeem flexible travel rewards , like booking through your card issuer’s online travel portal or transferring your points or miles to an issuer’s travel partners.

Redeeming rewards on an issuer’s online portal

Your card issuer will typically have a portal on its website that lists redemption options and points values. Examples of redemption options include statement credits, travel purchases, gift cards and cash back.

Rewards programs typically use a 1 point:1 cent conversion rate, meaning every 100 points or miles is worth $1. Some issuers, like Chase, also offer boosted points values or other perks for travel purchases made through their online portal. To get an idea of how much your points and miles are worth, take a look at Bankrate’s points and miles valuations page for an in-depth look at airline, hotel and credit card program rewards values.

To redeem your rewards on an issuer’s online portal, simply log in to your account and locate the appropriate rewards or travel section.

Redeeming rewards by transferring to a travel partner

Some travel rewards cards let you transfer points or miles to the issuer’s travel partners, which may include frequent flyer programs or hotel loyalty programs. This is often how to get the most value out of your travel rewards.

You can redeem travel rewards by transferring to an eligible travel partner through the issuer’s online portal. Transfer times can range from instantly to a few days — so plan ahead. Note, once you transfer points or miles from an issuer to a travel partner, you won’t be able to transfer them back to the issuer.

After you’ve transferred your points, you can book travel directly through the airline or hotel’s own loyalty program. Your credit card issuer is no longer involved in the process.

Other ways to redeem points and miles

Some credit cards allow you to redeem your points and miles for things like statement credits, cash back, gift cards or other merchandise. This is usually the least valuable way to redeem your points and miles so you’d be better off using them towards travel most times.

What’s the best way to maximize travel rewards?

When you want to make the most of your rewards, there’s no shortage of ways to spend a stockpile of points or miles. But here are some of the best ways to use your travel rewards :

Book luxury accommodations
Cover or lower the cost of your next flight
Reserve a rental car at your destination
Upgrade a flight or hotel stay

Be sure to check your card issuer’s online portal and travel partners for deals — such as a travel portal redemption bonus or transfer bonus to a specific hotel or airline — to help stretch your rewards further. In many cases, you can also choose to exchange your travel rewards for cash or a statement credit. But keep in mind that doing so usually dilutes the value of those rewards. Once you get the hang of using your travel credit card, you can maximize those rewards on bigger, better travel plans.

In general, the best value for flexible travel rewards will come from transferring them to various loyalty programs. For instance, the Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card’s rewards points are worth 1 cent each when redeemed for cash back, 1.25 cents each when redeemed for travel through the Chase Travel portal and 2 cents each on average when transferred to a travel partner (according to Bankrate’s valuations ).

However, the value you get out of transferring points ultimately depends on how you redeem them. If you transfer 10,000 points from your travel credit card to an airline partner to book a flight that would’ve cost $300 in cash, your points would be worth 3 cents apiece in this case. However, if you used those same points to book a flight worth $100, your points would only be worth 1 cent apiece.

How to maximize your travel rewards

As we’ve mentioned, the best way to redeem points or miles is to transfer your rewards to one of the issuer’s airline or hotel partners and redeem them for accommodations or airline tickets. But making good use of a travel rewards card is about more than just earning and redeeming rewards — it’s also about managing the card itself well.

Whether you’re trying to get the best possible redemption value or want to know which pitfalls to avoid, here are a few tips to help you get the most out of your travel rewards.

Use your card responsibly

The most important rule of using a travel credit card is to always pay your bill on time and in full and never carry a balance if you can help it. To do this, make sure you never charge more than you can afford to pay off each month, and don’t let the prospect of rewards cause you to overspend. Credit card rewards aren’t worthwhile if you’re going into debt or racking up interest charges and fees to get them.

Don’t miss out on a sign-up bonus

Many travel credit cards come with generous sign-up bonuses requiring you to spend a certain amount within the first few months of opening the account. Although these bonuses are often an attractive incentive to apply for a card, make sure the spending requirement is realistic for your budget and travel plans before you choose a travel credit card . You don’t want to end up in debt for the sake of earning extra rewards.

Don’t ignore the card’s fees

Credit card fees don’t directly affect the rewards you earn, but the cost of the fees does affect a card’s overall value to you. Take note of all the fees associated with any card you’re interested in getting.

One of the biggest fees to watch out for with travel credit cards is the annual fee some cards charge. Not all travel cards come with an annual fee, but those that do can range from an approachable $95 to $695 (or more). If you’re interested in a travel card that has an annual fee, be sure that the rewards and benefits will offset the cost. Otherwise, consider our list of the best travel credit cards with no annual fee .

Watch out for foreign transaction fees

Some credit cards charge a foreign transaction fee for purchases made abroad or in a foreign currency. This fee is usually around 3 percent of a purchase, and you’ll pay this fee for every transaction you make overseas. If you travel abroad frequently, you should consider getting a credit card with no foreign transaction fees .

Luckily, many of the best travel rewards cards don’t charge foreign transaction fees, but it’s always a good idea to verify that before applying.

Make sure you have the right card

It’s important to find the right travel card for your needs, which you can do after comparing options and considering all their pros and cons . For example, if you’re partial to a certain airline or hotel chain, a co-branded credit card can offer better rewards rates, discounts and perks related to that specific airline or hotel compared to a generic travel card.

Additionally, pay attention to a travel credit card’s rewards categories. For example, earning points or miles at restaurants won’t deliver a lot of value if you rarely dine out. But if you use services like Lyft or Uber a lot, you may want to look into a card that offers points or miles for rideshares.

How to choose a travel rewards card

Choosing the right travel rewards card is a highly personalized decision. Ultimately your spending habits, goals, finances and credit history will determine which travel card works best for you. This may require some self-reflection and an assessment of your financial situation to find the right travel card. Review these factors in your financial life to get clear on which travel card you need:

Travel preferences. Do you prefer using one specific airline or hotel chain when you travel? Or would you rather have the freedom to use your points on whichever hotel and flight you choose? For loyalty-based rewards, go for a co-branded travel card. If you prefer flexibility, generic travel cards will give you more options.
Spending habits. What do you spend the most money on? One of the best ways to choose a travel card is finding one that offers the highest rewards for the categories you spend the most in.
Welcome offers. You may find welcome offers for travel credit cards where you can earn extra rewards by meeting purchase requirements within a certain timeframe. As long as you’re able to comfortably meet the spending requirements, a bonus offer could be a deciding factor.
Credit history. Like most credit cards, applying for a travel rewards card means a hard credit check to determine eligibility. If you know where your credit score stands, it’s best to choose travel rewards cards that fit your credit profile to avoid unnecessary denials and credit inquiries. For cards that match your credit, use Bankrate’s CardMatch™ tool .
Annual fee. There are plenty of travel credit cards with no annual fee if that’s what works for your budget. However, some cards with annual fees are worth it thanks to extra perks and benefits.

Travel rewards cards for beginners

When you’re ready to earn rewards, it’s best to start with a beginner-friendly travel card so you can get the hang of things. Here are our picks for beginner travel rewards credit cards:

The bottom line

Using a travel rewards credit card can help you elevate your travel experiences by earning points or miles from your purchases. When you choose a travel card that aligns with your budget and goals, it can significantly reduce your travel costs or provide perks that enhance your trip. There’s a learning curve to using a travel card, but once you get the hang of it, you may be surprised by how much you can accomplish with your redemptions.

To make sure a travel credit card is ultimately worth it for you , be sure to select a card that rewards you for the type of purchases you make most often or the categories you spend the most in. Ideally, it won’t charge a fee that costs more than you’ll earn in rewards. If you’re ready to jump into the travel rewards lifestyle and start earning points toward your next trip, take a look at the best travel rewards cards to make your decision a little easier.

There is also a Today's Top Deals section showing savings on the same product across many different retailers, such as Nivea Q10 Anti-Wrinkle serum – £15 at Sainsbury's but £8 from Amazon at the time of writing. The app is available via Google Play or Apple's App Store – you can find the same information on the Trolley.co.uk website .

LatestDeals.co.uk

Available on app via Google Play or Apple's App Store , or on its website , Latest Deals says it has three million members looking for bargains, vouchers, freebies and competitions. Founded in 2016 by Deepak Tailor, Tom Kelsey and Tom Church, Latest Deals looks at offers across many different shopping categories, including books, fashion, food and drink, travel, music and technology.

There's a handy browser extension to search out the latest retailer discount codes as well as an Amazon discount finder, and you can create Deal Alerts to be the first to find out about discounts and offers.

CheckoutSmart

Get cashback on your in-store grocery shopping with this app. All you have to do is buy a product that is featured on the app, snap a copy of your receipt and get money back, paid directly into your bank or via PayPal. The app features cashback on plenty of everyday products from popular supermarkets such as Tesco, Sainsbury's, Morrisons, ASDA, Waitrose, Co-op, Ocado, Boots, Iceland, Spar, Superdrug, Marks & Spencer, Aldi and Lidl.

At the time of writing, offers on the website include £2 cashbask on Illy coffee at Tesco, a free Peperami Chicken at Asda and Sainsbury's and a free Rockstar strawberry and lime drink at Co-op.

Where cashback is available on a specific product, you have to buy it at the stores stated on the app to be able to claim it. Apply this to your shopping basket every week, and you’ll be amazed at just how much your rewards could add up to – you could save hundreds of pounds a year simply by shopping smarter. Available on Google Play or Apple's App Store .

PriceSpy compares the price of electricals, beauty products, toys or computers from 6,100 retailers. You can search for an item you want to buy and it will find you the cheapest retailer. For example, if you’re looking to buy running shoes, PriceSpy shows at the time of writing that a pair of Asics Women's Kayano 30 trainers is currently £86.40 at Amazon but available at Runner's Need for the full price of £180, a saving of almost £100. Meanwhile, a Gtech Air Ram Mk2 cordless vacuum cleaner is £229.99 at Gtech but just £179 at Currys, a saving of just over £50.

Sometimes the price difference of products can be significant, so this really is a handy money saving app. You can also set up product alerts, and maybe buy from your wish list when there is a price drop. Available on app via App Store or Google Play or on the PriceSpy website .

Vouchercloud

One of the oldest money-savings app around, Vouchercloud has been sharing vouchers and discount codes with its customers since 2009. The range of retailers is impressive, across travel, transport, home furnishing, fashion and hospitality, including TUI, AA, Morrisons, Currys, easyJet, Dunhelm, UberEats and John Lewis. The app provides users with voucher codes for various retailers and restaurants, allowing you money off or meal deals.

You simply find an offer and show the code on your phone to staff, so you don't have to worry about printing off vouchers before you head out for a meal or worry about missing discounts when not shopping online.

If you’re eating out, the app features discounts at popular chains such as Pizza Hut, Prezzo and Domino's – current offers include 50 per cent off Domino's and 2 for 1 on meals with Ask. If you put location settings on, it will show you nearby deals, which is handy if you don’t know the local area well. The app, available on App Store or Google Play , also features offers for online shopping.

Is your area crying out for a new supermarket to broaden your options and push prices down with a bit of competition?

Last month, the UK’s fourth largest supermarket - Aldi - asked shoppers to get in touch with their views on where it should open new stores.

The discount chain says it received thousands of replies, which it has used to hone its search for new store sites.

At the moment, Aldi has more than 1,020 stores. It says it wants more than 1,500 stores across the UK in the long run.

The 27 areas of priority to Aldi are:

Woodford, London
Surbiton, London
South Croydon, London
Notting Hill, London
Walthamstow, London
Beckenham, London
Bromley, London
Barnet, London
Redhill, Surrey
Aldershot, Hampshire
Haywards Heath, West Sussex
Burgess Hill, West Sussex
Chatham, Kent
Cheadle, Greater Manchester
Chorlton, Manchester
Formby, Liverpool
Newark, Nottinghamshire
Chesterfield, Derbyshire
Wellingborough, Northamptonshire
Rayleigh, Essex
Brentwood, Essex
Dorchester, Dorset
Clarkston, Scotland
Cathcart, Scotland
Penzance, Cornwall
Warwick, Warwickshire
Bath, Somerset

Jonathan Neale, managing director of national real estate at Aldi UK, said: "We want to make high quality food accessible to all, but we can’t do that while there are still some towns and areas that either don’t have an Aldi or have capacity for additional stores.

"We recognise there is huge demand in certain regions for more stores, which is why we decided to get the public’s input on our latest list of priority locations."

Which?, the consumer website and magazine, has ranked Aldi as the cheapest supermarket in the UK consistently this year.

Using a typical list of popular items, Which? ranked Aldi as the cheapest place to shop from January to May - with rivals Lidl coming in second.

However, for a longer list of items and a bigger shop, Asda and Morrisons have typically been the top two for Which? this year.

There could be good news on the horizon for borrowers, as an economist says the Bank of England is likely to cut interest rates in August.

Michael Saunders, a former member of the Monetary Police Committee (MPC), said the Bank has "clearly signalled" it wants to cut rates soon "if data are okay".

He told the Reuters Global Markets Forum that inflation and wage figures would need to align with the MPC's forecasts back in May.

"If so, I would expect the rest of the internal [members of the MPC] to move as a bloc to vote for a cut," he said, saying that markets had been given enough warning.

The BoE held interest rates at 5.25% for the seventh time in a row last week despite inflation falling to its target of 2%.

Mr Saunders predicted that the Bank would slash rates seven times in increments of 25 points by the end of next year, bringing the headline rate "close" to what he calls a neutral rate of 3.5%.

"I expect two to three cuts this year, the rest next year - again, depends a bit on the monthly data," he said.

The government has accredited three new forms of ID for purchasing restricted goods and services.

Lloyds Bank Smart ID, Post Office EasyID and Yoti ID can now be used to watch age-restricted films in cinemas, enter gambling premises, or pay for tattoos and tanning salons.

They cannot be used to buy alcoholic drinks in pubs and shops, but are recognised when buying alcohol online, along with tobacco, vapes, lottery tickets and fireworks.

"More UK businesses can now accept our Digital IDs to reduce the risk of fake IDs, increase compliance and improve the customer experience," said Robin Tombs, CEO of Yoti.

He said more than four million people have already downloaded a Digital ID app.

"This is a strong sign that people are ready to embrace reusable Digital IDs and want a more secure, private and convenient way to prove who they are."

Each of the Digital ID apps includes the approved PASS hologram.

Most of us know the feeling of rushing back to your car when you realise your ticket is about to run out.

The good news is, new rules mean you won't have to race back quite as breathlessly in future.

Drivers are to get a 10-minute grace period when their time runs out at private car parks.

The changes are coming in after industry bodies the British Parking Association (BPA) and the International Parking Community (IPC) published a new code of conduct.

However, the AA said it still leaves room for drivers to be ripped off because it misses out "desperately needed" measures such as a cap on charges.

The electric carmaker Tesla is recalling more than 11,000 of its new Cybertruck vehicles after safety regulators found a potentially dangerous fault with its giant windscreen wiper.

The US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration also said a trim in the boot may be improperly attached.

"Excessive electrical current can cause the front windshield wiper motor controller to fail," the safety administration said in a recall acknowledgement letter.

Tesla said it would replace the wiper motor at no cost to owners.

It comes after nearly 4,000 Cybertrucks were recalled in April to fix an accelerator pedal pad that could come loose.

Mass production of the vehicle, which starts at a price of $79,990 (£63,130), is expected to start next year.

It's not yet known how many trucks have gone to consumers, but the Blade Runner-inspired car has been plagued by problems.

Customers of both Tesco and OVO Energy are entitled to 2,500 free Clubcard points, the supermarket has announced.

The points can be redeemed as a £25 voucher or at double their value with Clubcard reward partners.

Customers can unlock the points by linking their accounts with both companies.

"The cost of living remains a key challenge for households and our partnership with Tesco is one of the many ways in which we are giving back to our customers with rewards that they can spend how they choose," said Mat Moakes, chief commercial officer at OVO.

New customers can link their Tesco Clubcard account when they sign up as an OVO customer, while existing OVO customers can log into their account, go to their profile, click "our partners", and select the Tesco Clubcard logo.

Want to see a show in London this summer without breaking the bank?

You're in luck - as new data has revealed the most affordable musicals to see in the capital right now.

The data, collated by theatre ticket site SeatPlan , shows the most affordable musical to see in London right now is Two Strangers (Carry A Cake Across New York), with the average cheapest ticket price at £17.90.

The rom-com musical follows a British boy (Dougal), who lands in New York for his dad's second wedding.

At the airport, he meets the bride's sister, and a quirky, offbeat love story ensues.

Also in the top 10 are Marie Curie The Musical (£20), Guys And Dolls (£23.90) and Sister Act (£26.40).

Shows are ranked by the average price of the cheapest ticket, with the top ranked show having the lowest price.

On the flip side, the data also revealed the most expensive tickets, by analysing internal pricing data for musicals from SeatPlan.com.

Musicals including Cabaret (£85.10), Mean Girls (£64.60) and Starlight Express (£43.70) make up this list...

If you've been reassured by positive recent news on inflation and a widely anticipated cut in interest rates later this year, unfortunately the Bank of England has a worrying update for mortgage payers.

About three million UK households are still set to witness hikes in their mortgage repayments over the next two years, the Bank has said.

Its Financial Policy Committee (FPC) added there are likely to be "very large increases" of more than 50% for the mortgages of around 400,000 households.

But the central bank stressed that UK lenders are still in a strong position to support households and businesses, even if the economic backdrop worsens.

The concerning update is in the Bank's latest Financial Stability Report.

It also showed that most households have already had an increase in their mortgage rates since borrowing costs began rising substantially in 2022.

Why is the outlook so bad if interest rates are expected to fall?

Interest rates are at a 16-year-high of 5.25%, with the central bank voting to maintain the figure for a seventh consecutive meeting earlier this month.

But many economists have predicted the base rate could be reduced at the Bank's next vote in August.

However, at the moment, around 35% of households with mortgages, or more than three million, are paying below 3% for a range of reasons - like existing deals which pre-dated the recent crisis - and are expected to see an increase between now and the end of 2026.

A typical household rolling off a fixed-rate mortgage before the end of 2026 is due to face a jump of around £180 a month, the report said.

It highlighted that an "increasing proportion" of households have been choosing to borrow over a longer period of time, reducing monthly repayments but leaving them with more debt to service over time.

Higher mortgage rates have resulted in many households and renters reducing their savings, the Bank also found.

PrettyLittleThing is facing more criticism after announcing it would issue refunds on delivery subscriptions for accounts it has banned for returning too many items.

The online fashion giant says it will refund outstanding gift cards and store credit, as well as £9.99 to closed accounts which had already purchased its royalty service entitling them to unlimited next day delivery for a year.

The company said: "We have noticed an extremely high returns rate from a small pool of customers who have demonstrated behaviours that were inconsistent with what we experience with the rest of our customer base.

"The actions taken are not designed to limit our customers who do need to return or deter them from returning, it was taken to address a small proportion of customers who have a high returns rate."

PrettyLittleThing added it does not plan to close any further accounts.

Some customers were not happy with the response, with one posting on X: "This is bullshit my last return was December 2023... and of course you turned off the comments."

Another wrote: "PrettyLittleThing expects us to order our clothes twice because their sizing is off and is closing people's accounts because of frequent returns. What a way to ruin your own business."

Amazon was grabbing attention overnight.

It's become the fifth US company to reach a $2trn market value milestone.

Can you name the others? Answers below!

Analysts are crediting strong demand for technology-related stocks amid the rush for AI.

They also point to the growing hope among investors for a late summer/early autumn interest rate cut by the US central bank.

Amazon's shares ended the session on Wall St almost 4% up at $193 apiece.

The FTSE 100 has had a fairly muted start after falling almost 0.3% yesterday.

The index was one point up at 8,226 in early dealing.

In the wider market, Halfords stock was trading 6% lower.

The cycle sales and motor-focused retailer had earlier reported a fall in annual profits of almost a fifth and said that trading remained "soft".

The message to the market from Currys, the electricals chain, was more upbeat.

It revealed a 10% lift to its bottom line in the year to 27 April and said it was more confident about demand ahead.

Currys shares were 1% down, however, potentially reflecting concerns that its profit performance was not driven by higher sales.

Before I go... the answers to the $2trn+ club question above, as promised - the other members of this elite grouping are: Microsoft, Apple, Nvidia and Alphabet.
