This site has some really good potential but they lack a bit in speed. Their offers are often too old, or just not worth the time. Then you have this issue with them using every inch of their page for something. Too cluttered. Try making your site more user friendly and easy on the eyes.

One for my fellow Brits, just for a change. This is a UK-based resource aiming to offer all manner of useful information about discounts and freebies, reaching all the way from finding the best mortgages (relatively speaking) to discovering how many refills McDonalds will give you for your coffee (unlimited, as long as you don't leave or throw away the cup). It's a very simple site to use, has good navigation and an onsite search which roots through several years of correspondence.

Don't be put off by the crowded pages, which sometimes make this look like a tabloid on steroids, because there's lots of useful information here. Well worth a look and updated frequently with news, too.

I was refused in my request to open an account with Starling so for me they did not live up to the credit given them by the Money Savings Expert.

1. I do not have any debts
2. I live within my means
3. My savings are equal to six months salary.

Your faith in this company didn't do it for me. I am so sad but on reflection I may simply be too boring. This is where the Money Savings Expert and I part company. Has anyone else experienced the same?

Great and helpful website for knowing your rights, where you stand and what you can do. I use it for clear, concise and up to date information on things like maternity pay, the difference between types of mortgages, the furlough scheme, claiming a tax refund and so on. For energy bill savings and so forth, I do my own research.

I went to this site because of the positive reviews here on sitejabber when searching under financial. They failed to mention the website is geared towards europeans. Many of the opportunities have a residency requirement. You must be a UK resident.

You get excited, keep reading, hyperlink to another website and then get disappointed when you read the fine print limiting participation to UK residents. I'm a USA resident.

There is plenty that is general enough that applies to anyone, but you have to weed through too much to find what might be worth something to non British citizens.

Good reliable 100% honest site run by a well known British consumer journalist. Some of the deals listed are a bit convoluted but that is not really the fault of MSE. The site is very crowded but it covers a lot of different products and industries. The forum section is extensive and includes discussions and warnings on scam traders (go to search, insert the name of the suspect website and search on the forum list).
