Hi there ,
 
We've been celebrating the Chinese New Year in the Moneymagpie office - here's hoping our fortune cookie predictions come true...
 
But you don't need Chinese cookies for your fortunes to pick up - just follow some simple money-making advice! Start today by claiming your FREE GUIDE on how to boost your retirement income. I know how eager you are to get as much money out of your pension as possible, and this fabulous guide will help you to do just that. Find out more below.
 
On a lighter note if you're looking for a bargain break you will be delighted to hear you can snap up a hotel room at Premier Inn for just £19 (hurry though - those rooms go fast!)
 
Right, I'm off to see what's left of our Chinese takeaway...
 

THE ONE THING YOU MUST DO THIS WEEK

Boost your retirement income with our FREE guide!
 
Want to know how to increase your retirement income? Just follow the simple steps in the fantastic FREE guide I've secured for you.

The Top 10 retirement tips guide is just that: 10 tips you can't afford to miss (even if you're not yet retired).

It's full of easy-to-follow advice, doesn't cost you a penny and will seriously improve your retirement bank balance.

It explains how to use tax breaks; how to protect your pension against inflation; and how to easily ensure your pensions earn you the best income.

Don't miss out - claim your FREE copy here.  
   

WANT 6% INTEREST ON YOUR SAVINGS AND A 0% OVERDRAFT?

Switch to an HSBC current account and you'll get a market-leading rate of 6% on your savings - that's far better than any fixed-rate savings account or ISA!
 
(And as it's a current account, you can access your money whenever you like). 

To make a good thing even better you get a 0% overdraft for a whole year, making it a great all-round package.

It's so simple to switch accounts these days. Use HSBC's guaranteed hassle-free switching service and you'll be earning extra interest on your money in no time.
 
Don't hang around though - if you want to take advantage of this savings rate, you'll need to fill in the form by 31st January.

KEEP THE TAXMAN OFF YOUR SAVINGS - WITH OUR 'ISAs MADE EASY' GUIDE

This year's ISA deadline is creeping up on us. But is the choice of ISAs baffling you?

Don't worry - I take you through the process step-by-step and show you the best ISAs around. My guide could save you literally hundreds of pounds in tax - see it here. 

MAKE OVER £200 A MONTH WITH ADS ON YOUR CAR

Taxis and buses do it, so why not your car? If you don't mind driving around with a logo splashed across your bonnet, you could make more than £200 a month for very little effort. See how here.

GIVE ME CASH! HOW TO GET A CHEAPER LOAN

When your finances are under pressure, getting a loan can seem daunting. But if you're looking for a cheap loan (or you've already got one and want a better deal) make sure you check out my loan tips and best buy options here.   

HOW TO SAVE MONEY WHEN YOU DON'T HAVE ANY

How do you save money when you don't have any? I show you some simple ways to cut the cost of living and show you how to find sources of money you didn't even know you had! Find out how you can start saving here. 

WIN AN M&S VALENTINE'S DAY HAMPER!

Enjoy Valentine's Day! This romantic hamper would certainly spoil that special someone, with a bottle of Italian Sparkling Rosé wine, a gift-wrapped red rose plant and a large luxury wrapped chocolate heart.
 

P.S GET 50% OFF EVERY TIME YOU EAT OUT

Fancy knocking 50% off your bill each time you eat out?

Get a Gourmet Society card and you get up to 50% off when you dine out at over 5,000 restaurants across the UK.

It covers big names like Café Rouge, Loch Fyne and Prezzo, to award-winning independents and everyday family favourites - and you can get one for free.

Try it for FREE!

Register today for your discount card, pop it in your wallet, and enjoy all the benefits of membership FREE for 2 months.

If you then choose to continue your membership (though there's no obligation) you'll be entitled to a fantastic discount price of just £39.95 for a full 12 months membership.

That's a massive £30 off the RRP (these cards normally cost £69.95!)

If you enjoy eating out it's a no-brainer - your Gourmet Card will more than pay for itself after just a couple of meals. 

There's no risk of being disappointed either, as you can try the card free for 2 months first.

I think you, your tastebuds and your wallet will love it!
