So I followed this link about a free ipod. Apparently the BBC ran a news item on it and it’s legit. All you have to do is buy, try or participate in one of their offers and sign up some friends to do the same. Unsurprisingly the offers include insurance, sky TV etc. I’m not convinced yet… If you’re interested and want to help me get a free electronics item, click here.

If not, why not sign up for greasy palm? It’s a similar idea but every time you buy something from hundreds of online stores (Argos, John Lewis, Boots, etc.) you gain cashback on your account. Having just bought a kitchen, it’s saved us a packet!
