Head to your personalised promotions page on Amazon and you might be offered £5 off a £15 spend. If your account is eligible, the offer stops on 13th February 2022.
Half Term Days Out
How are you going to keep the kids entertained during half term? If you’re looking for a family day out, look no further than Blackpool Sea Life Centre. You can find out all about life in the ocean and save 20%if you book your trip before you go. If you fancy a couple of days in Blackpool you can save even more by purchasing attraction tickets at the same time. You’ll save 25% if you book Sea Life and one other attraction. A 35% discount is available if you book Sea Life and 2 other attractions. The other attractions include The Blackpool Tower Eye, Madame Tussauds, or The Blackpool Tower Dungeon. You can also reschedule for free if your plans change.
Of course, you don’t need to spend any money on days out this half term. Enjoy an afternoon in the local park, take your own flask of hot chocolate with you. Get board games out the cupboard on rainy days or relax in front of a family film.
Bank Switching
Another £150 bank switching incentive has become available. Now there are three of them, all offering £150 for you to switch your bank to them. First Direct has increased it’s incentive from £130 to £150, joining RBS and NatWest at that price. Furthermore, First Direct have the best customer service rating and will give you your bonus within 28 days. The other two banks will give you your bonus by June 2022.
I hope these Thrifty Thursday top tips save you some cash.
