- TEN per cent off something might not sound like much but if your employer offered you a 10 per cent pay rise, your ears would prick up. Well how about a tenth off your shopping bill? for a limited period, buy a £50 Tesco gift card and you’ll get a bonus £5. The £5 card must be spent by the end of January but the one with the £50 balance is valid for five years. Look out for the promotional cards (pictured) in selected stores only, while stocks last. If you’re intending to spend them yourself, be aware that the cards can take a little while to become activated after you pay for them so perhaps leave it until your next visit. In Northern Ireland the participating stores are Antrim, Bridgewater Banbridge, Carrickfergus Extra, Cookstown Broadfields Superstore, Craigavon, Crumlin, Dungannon, Belfast/Holywood Knocknagoney, Lisburn, Magherafelt, Newry, Newtownards and Glengormley Northcott.
- Get £25 off your first online shop from Tesco when you spend £70 or more. Use the code XXHTFL at the checkout stage at www.tesco.com. It's valid for orders delivered or collected by Wednesday December 18.
- Not bought an Amazon gift card from www.amazon.co.uk in the past three years? Check your account for a special offer. If you’re eligible, you should get a message that if you spend £50 or more on gift cards you’ll get a bonus £6.
