Hey there! I know we’re all a bit done with spending money by the time December comes around…

So this week, we’re mainly focusing on making money and bagging freebies.

Now if you only take one thing from this week’s newsletter, let that be downloading Cheddar so you can grab a £5 bonus and start earning some cashback for your shopping.

It’s an app I’ve been telling you to use for years and I love it that much, I’ve written an entire article about Cheddar on my website so you have everything you need to know.

Anyway, let me show you how to get the £5 bonus below…

PS. As a thank you for subscribing to my newsletter, I’ve got a beauty advent calendar to giveaway below!

💰 Free £5 Bonus With Cheddar

You’ve heard me shout about cashback a million times and if you’re still not using it, you’re literally leaving money on the table.

Cheddar is one of the best and easiest apps. Here’s 3 reasons why you should be using Cheddar:

1. Gift Card Cashback
You buy a gift card on the app, and you’ll be rewarded with a percentage of your gift card amount as cashback. You can then use this gift card to pay for your shopping.

Example: Say you spend £200 on groceries at Tesco every month, you’d get up to 4% cashback = £8 back in your pocket.

2. Auto Cashback
You link your bank accounts on the app, and you’ll get cashback automatically when you shop with certain brands.

You can then withdraw your cashback earnings to your bank account. It’s super simple.

3. Track Your Spending
Linking your accounts gives you free access to spend tracking tools, that categorise your spending across multiple accounts and credit cards - giving you insights on where you spend money every month and suggests ways to save money on your purchases by pointing out any missed opportunities to earn cashback.

💰 £5 Bonus
Use code CHLOEDC to get a £5 bonus when you download the Cheddar app and buy a gift card within 14 days.

By using my code, you’ll also get maximum cashback rates for the first 2 weeks, and when you continue to buy gift cards each months you’ll maintain these higher cashback rates too.

✨ WIN: Revolution Advent Calendar

Fancy winning a Revolution Advent Calendar worth £48? Well, it’s your lucky day because we have one to giveaway, thanks to the team at Boots.

🌈 £15 Off Buy A Gift

You can get £15 off Buy A Gift experiences when you use code: JHW83171ONG

There’s lots of options from spa breaks and driving experiences, to beauty boxes and theatre tickets. Here’s some examples:

Junior Sports Car Experience for one = £10

Afternoon Tea at Marco Pierre White for two = £20

OK! Beauty Box 3 Months = £20

Merlin Theme Park Ticket for one = £14.99

There’s no minimum spend, but I tested the code on lots of experiences and it typically seems to be experiences worth £25 or more it works on.

📮 Personalised Card for 50p

You can get a personalised A5 card from the Card Factory for only 50p when you use code: MSE50PCARD

This deal is brilliant for sending Christmas cards, as the 50p includes free 2nd class delivery too!

The code is limited to 15,000 uses so grab yours quickly. Did you get yours ordered?
