Luxury 5 star holiday for £13/night | Xmas money-makers | Half-price toys | Avoid paying interest for 22 mths

Published: Tue, 11/01/11

Hi ,

THE ONE THING YOU MUST DO THIS WEEK

Moneymagpie Christmas Holiday Exclusive!
 
How does having a holiday in luxury 5 star accommodation sound - for as little as £13 per person per night?  

Great? We thought so too, which is why we've teamed up with the award-winning Cornish holiday resort Gwelan Mor to offer you just that.
 
Based in the picturesque seaside town of Portreath, the site is surrounded by stunning sea views and gorgeous beaches (you really have to see the landscape for yourself - check it out here).

Gwelan Mor's luxury 5 star Scandinavian style wooden holiday lodges (guaranteed to get you in a festive mood!) provide you with a home from home, complete with fantastic swimming pool and club house, relaxing spa facilities and wildlife activities and walks.

A group of five can stay in one of their luxury lodges from as little as £429 a week - that's less than £13 per person per night!

Your exclusive extras!
 
What's more, if you enter the exclusive Moneymagpie code MASPE11, you'll get £50 to spend on site in The Well Being Spa, Terrace Restaurant or Wildlife Centre - and they'll be wine and canapes waiting for you in your cozy lodge when you arrive! Offer applies to any break booked from now until departures up to February 10th 2012.

Book your break now.  
 

HOW TO AVOID PAYING INTEREST ON YOUR DEBT

If you have debt that is charging you interest, why don't you move it to a card that doesn't charge you interest while you pay it off?

We recommend Barclaycard's Platinum Card, as it gives you the longest 0% deal on the market - a massive 22 months at 0% interest!

Make interest payments a thing of the past. Why pay money to a bank if you don't have to?
 
T&Cs apply - you need an income of at least £20k to apply. As with all such cards, remember you will need to pass a credit check (check your credit rating for free here). Always try to pay off your debt within the 0% period so you avoid interest charges.
