- TOP up your www.amazon.co.uk balance by £50 or more by September 30 using a Visa card and get a £5 bonus. The terms and conditions say the £5 must be used by September 30 but the confirmation email I received said November 15.

As usual with such offers, the bonus credit is applied automatically at the checkout stage when you next buy something directly from Amazon, not the Warehouse or a third-party seller. Some people using this offer said it only worked for them if they set their Visa as the default payment method so that's worth trying if you have any difficulties.

Prime members may also be eligible for a separate bonus. You'll get one per cent when topping up £50 or more (so 50p with that minimum amount) or 2 per cent if you can stretch to adding £200-plus (£4 in that case). Worth doing if you plan to spend a lot on the site. Combining the promotions would give you a total of £209 to spend for a £200 top-up. The link is https://www.amazon.co.uk/asv/reload.

- The code 19805 gets you £5 off and free delivery when you spend £30 or more on The Body Shop website. The code is valid until 9am on Tuesday September 22 at https://www.thebodyshop.com/en-gb.

- Get an exclusive 25 per cent off at www.boohoo.com until 11.59pm on Sunday September 13 when you go via www.vouchercodes.co.uk.

- Boots is running a £10 Tuesday promotion with some great reductions each week. They are announced on the day so I can't tell you what is coming up but join the mailing list at www.boots.com to find out. Latest deals included £19.99 off a £29.99 Olay skin product, £20 off a £30 Maybelline eye-shadow kit and £7.99 off a £17.99 Gillette razor set.

- Get 12 per cent off flowers at www.post-a-rose.com with the code SEP12 until 11.59pm on Sunday September 13.

- Did you have a birthday during lockdown? Greggs is offering a free sweet treat worth up to £1 via its rewards app. Check it out via the Apple App Store or Google Play.
