Broadband for £3.24/month | 7 secret winter holiday bargains | Win free laser eye surgery | Save thousands in tax

Published: Tue, 11/08/11

Hi ,

THREE THINGS YOU MUST DO THIS WEEK

Get high-speed broadband and phone from just £3.24 a month... with Plusnet . Get up to 20Mb speeds, a 10GB monthly usage allowance (not including unlimited overnight downloads) PLUS free evening and weekend calls to UK landlines - all from just £3.24 a month! That's half the normal price, and you can bag this rate for a full 9 months of your contract here . (This obviously doesn't include line rental though).

You can't go wrong - Plusnet boast award-winning customer service, while Which? Magazine rightly awarded them five stars for value this year. Cut your broadband costs here.  

 
Pick up the cheapest foreign currency... want to get more Euros for your money? Our advice is avoid the high street and get online. Recent research reveals that Brits overpay by a massive £300 million per year by purchasing currency on the high street rather than online.

We like online service Moneycorp as it offers a unique currency exchange service.  They provide a free next-day home delivery service for orders worth £500 or more, or you can collect your cash from one of their branches (or even the airport).  

Completing a single €500 transaction online with Moneycorp costs up to £20 less than via a high street bureau - all from the comfort of your own home! For a great rate on your foreign currency visit Moneycorp now.

 
The only 0% credit card for people with poor credit profiles... a new credit card for people with poor credit ratings is shaking up the credit market by offering a 6 month interest free period on purchases.  Capital One's Classic Card is the only card in the UK with a 0% feature designed for people with limited credit histories, and is the top card in this section of the market.

You won't be charged interest on any purchases made on the card until June 2012 meaning you can spread the cost of Christmas over the next few months.  This offer is available for a limited time only exclusively from credit card comparison site Totally Money.
 

HAVE YOU MADE THE MOST OF YOUR TAX-FREE SAVINGS ALLOWANCE YET?

Make sure you do before it's too late, with ING's cash ISA. It offers a great rate of 3% interest, which is guaranteed for a year so you don't have to worry about it suddenly dropping.
 
As with all ISAs you'll get to keep every penny of interest you make as it's tax-free. Better still you can pay in and make withdrawals whenever you like without being penalised - giving you access to your money whenever you need it.
 
So what are you waiting for? Apply online here.
