How do cashback websites work
Cashback sites make money by channelling shoppers through to retailers' sites.
Retailers pay cashback sites for the traffic, with some of this money given to shoppers as a thank you.
The amount of money you can get from a cashback site depends on how much you've spent as well as the deal struck between the cashback site and retailer on a specific product.
Data manager Nicola Frapwell revealed how she has made £1,000 while retail manager Lakhan Chauhan has earned £5,000 by using cashback sites.
There are two main cashback sites - TopCashback and Quidco.
Both are free to sign up to and both offer premium memberships which pay out bigger amounts of cashback for a fee.
TopCashback's Plus Account subtracts £5 from your annual cashback earnings for a boosted 25% cashback.
Meanwhile, Quidco takes £1 from your monthly cashback earnings through its Premium account and offers up to 10% cashback.
Just remember with cashback sites to only buy a product if you were going to anyway, not just because you're getting free cash for it.
Remember to always shop around to ensure you're getting the best price for a product too.
You can do this through price comparison sites like Price Spy, Price Runner and Trolley.
You can always do a quick stop search on Google via the Product/Shopping tab as well.
How to bag a bargain
SUN Savers Editor Lana Clements explains how to find a cut-price item and bag a bargain…
Sign up to loyalty schemes of the brands that you regularly shop with.
Big names regularly offer discounts or special lower prices for members, among other perks.
Sales are when you can pick up a real steal.
Retailers usually have periodic promotions that tie into payday at the end of the month or Bank Holiday weekends, so keep a lookout and shop when these deals are on.
Sign up to mailing lists and you'll also be first to know of special offers. It can be worth following retailers on social media too.
When buying online, always do a search for money off codes or vouchers that you can use vouchercodes.co.uk and myvouchercodes.co.uk are just two sites that round up promotions by retailer.
Scanner apps are useful to have on your phone. Trolley.co.uk app has a scanner that you can use to compare prices on branded items when out shopping.
Bargain hunters can also use B&M's scanner in the app to find discounts in-store before staff have marked them out.
And always check if you can get cashback before paying which in effect means you'll get some of your money back or a discount on the item.

UK house prices rise by the most in six months in July, Halifax says
LONDON, Aug 7 (Reuters) - British house prices rose by the most in six months in July when they increased by a slightly faster than expected 0.4% from June, according to figures from mortgage lender Halifax that add to signs of a stabilisation in the housing market. Economists polled by Reuters had expected prices to rise by 0.3% in month-on-month terms after a 0.1% gain in June. Halifax said on Thursday house prices were 2.4% higher compared with July last year, slowing from June's 2.7% increase. Britain's housing market has settled after a rush to beat the expiry in April of a tax break for some home buyers which depressed sales immediately after the deadline. "Challenges remain for those looking to move up or onto the property ladder. But with mortgage rates continuing to ease and wages still rising, the picture on affordability is gradually improving," Amanda Bryden, Halifax's head of mortgages, said. "We expect house prices to follow a steady path of modest gains through the rest of the year," she said. The Bank of England is widely expected to cut its main interest rate to 4% from 4.25% later on Thursday but the outlook for further reductions in borrowing costs is unclear due to persistent inflation pressures, even as the jobs market cools. Rival lender Nationwide said last week its measure of house prices rose by 0.6% in July compared with June.

Transfer news live: Arsenal's Eze bid, Man Utd close on Sesko, Liverpool given boost for Isak move
Arsenal are preparing to bolster their forward line further by signing Crystal Palace 's Eberechi Eze. Palace want a fee in excess of £60m and the Gunners are on the verge of submitting an official. Benjamin Sesko wants to move to Manchester United despite RB Leipzig accepting an offer from Newcastle for the 22-year-old striker. The Premier League clubs are battling to sign a No.9 but the Old Trafford hierarchy are confident they can secure Sesko's signature despite a lack of Champions League football. Newcastle also have issues with Alexander Isak. The 25-year-old has been trying to force a move away from the club amid interest pursuit from Liverpool but the Magpies want a huge fee, having rejected Liverpool 's first bid of £110m. Elsewhere, Liverpool have agreed to sell Darwin Nunez to Saudi Arabian club Al Hilal which should open up funds to purchase Isak if they are willing to match Newcastle's valuation and Ruben Dias is close to agreeing a new contract with Manchester City while Nicolas Jackson is set to leave Chelsea this summer. Good morning! Welcome to The Independent's transfer blog. We'll have all the latest comings and goings from the Premier League and more throughout the day. Mike Jones7 August 2025 07:26 Alexander Isak forced to train alone at Newcastle amid Liverpool transfer links Newcastle striker Alexander Isak was told he must train away from the Newcastle squad as uncertainty over his future continues. The 25-year-old Sweden international was told to report for training on Wednesday but only after the rest of the squad had left. Isak did not travel with his team-mates on their pre-season trip to Singapore and South Korea, ostensibly because of a minor thigh injury, after Liverpool, who subsequently tabled a £110million bid for him, let it be known they remained interested in acquiring his services.

However, they are waiting to see if the striker will agree to leave Anfield after a three-season spell. Nunez also attracted interest from AC Milan but there were doubts if the Serie A side could meet Liverpool's asking price, whereas Al-Hilal are willing to pay a fee that could rise to £56.6m, including add-ons. More from senior football writer Richard Jolly: Darwin Nunez on verge of Liverpool exit as striker faces decision over future Darwin looks set to depart Anfield this summer after the arrival of young striker Hugo Ekitike and with the club chasing Newcastle's Alexander Isak Chris Wilson7 August 2025 06:30 Everton approach Man City about signing Jack Grealish on season-long loan deal Everton have approached Manchester City about the possibility of taking Jack Grealish on loan for the season. Grealish, 29, was stuck on the fringes of City's squad last season and his prospects look no brighter after a summer in which the talented 21-year-old French midfielder Rayan Cherki joined Pep Guardiola 's squad. Guardiola left Grealish out of his selection for the recent Club World Cup after coming to a mutual agreement with the winger that he needed a break. Everton approach Man City about signing Jack Grealish on season-long loan deal Everton have made initial enquiries about taking Grealish on loan after sealing the transfer of Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall from Chelsea Chris Wilson7 August 2025 06:00 Rio Ngumoha: Get to know Liverpool's teenage sensation ready to star in Premier League It is quite the statement to say that, amid a £269m outlay to bring in players with the quality of Florian Wirtz, Jeremie Frimpong and Hugo Ekitike, Liverpool's most exciting prospect this season comes in the form of a developing teenage striker. Yet that is the building hype concerning 16-year-old forward Rio Ngumoha and the quality his possesses at such a young age. Then again, hype is one thing but performing on the pitch is another and in this arena Ngumoha is showing why football fans are getting excited about his future. On Monday 4 August, Liverpool played two pre-season games against Athletic Bilbao at Anfield. The games had different starting XIs with a mix of senior players and potential first team starters combining with fringe members of the squad in order to give Arne Slot a better feel for how his players are coping ahead of the start of the new season.

Quite a lot, it seems. Which, given the numbers involved, it really should. But the Anfield bows of five lavish arrivals offered an insight into Arne Slot 's remodelled Liverpool. The goals came from the old, with Mohamed Salah and Cody Gakpo scoring to defeat Athletic Club 3-2, the intrigue from the new. Giorgi Mamardashvili, Jeremie Frimpong, Milos Kerkez, Florian Wirtz and Hugo Ekitike made Anfield bows, albeit in an unofficial outing and after each has featured further afield in preseason. Even as the £110m bid for Alexander Isak indicated Liverpool did not necessarily intend their business to stop with those five, it is half a team. Jurgen Klopp called the side he left Liverpool 2.0. Perhaps this is 2.0 for Slot's Liverpool, significantly different to the title-winning outfit.

The England Under-21 international, who made 14 first-team appearances for Liverpool, joined the Ligue Un club after passing a medical. Liverpool also have a 20 percent sell-on clause for Morton if the 22-year-old, who helped England win the European Under-21 Championships in June, continues to improve.

With a return to the Champions League, the Magpies need to strengthen their squad to compete at the highest level, but despite boss Eddie Howe making it known that he is looking to work fast this summer, Newcastle have missed out on several of their top targets so far. Benjamin Sesko is the latest high-profile target to opt against a move to St James Park, while key striker Alexander Isak remains linked with a move to Premier League champions Liverpool. Newcastle have been without any major recruits over the past two seasons due to PSR rules, and started the summer with a big move for Anthony Elanga – with the Nottingham Forest winger joining in a deal worth £55m – but have been thwarted in attempts to sign Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbeumo and James Trafford since then too. And it means that there are a big three weeks ahead for the Magpies ahead of the start of the 2025/26 season and the transfer deadline on 1 September, with the club needing to strengthen in several key positions.

Sources in Italy say the first bid for the 23-year-old has been rejected though, and it is not known whether the Magpies will return for the defender. Chris Wilson6 August 2025 22:00

A new era of Mercedes will begin the new GLC EV – here's all you need to know
Successor to EQC will go toe-to-toe with forthcoming BMW iX3 in Europe's most hotly contested segment Close Mercedes-Benz will launch a radical new GLC next year, an important new model for the German firm as it looks to gain a foothold in Europe's most hotly contested new car segment. Launching at the same time as the new BMW iX3, its key segment rival, the electric GLC not only marks Mercedes' next step in electrification but also will be the first car to embody the brand's bold new-era design language – something that will be adopted across the rest of the range in the coming years. It will be sold alongside the current, second-generation combustion-engined GLC, which was launched in 2022. That car has regularly been Mercedes' best-selling model since its introduction in 2015 and the firm hopes the new GLC EV – successor to the discontinued EQC SUV – can leverage the equity built by the GLC name and be a catalyst for Mercedes' EV sales. Going on sale in early 2026, the electric GLC – which we've already driven in prototype form – will become the first model to use the Mercedes-Benz Electric Architecture ( which will also form the basis of the upcoming electric C-Class, due at the end of 2026 or start of 2027. It supports an 800V electrical architecture and has an expected maximum charging speed beyond the 320kW of the new MMA-based CLA EQ – the longest-range and most efficient EV currently on sale. Mercedes officials have confirmed to Autocar that the electric GLC will draw electricity from a 94.5kWh battery, which will provide up to 435 miles of range in its most efficient form. While that is a significant amount of range for an SUV, matching today's class-leading Peugeot e-3008, it will be beaten by the new iX3, which is promised to offer 497 miles. The electric GLC will be sold with single- and dual-motor powertrains, offering up to 482bhp in dual-motor guise. An AMG performance flagship is due in 2027 and is tipped to offer up to 600bhp. In styling terms, the GLC will introduce Mercedes' new look. A key aspect of this is the new nose. Official pictures from the German firm show a reinvented grille design that fuses classic styling with bold lighting elements. This includes a chrome front perforated with 942 small holes. Behind the panel are more than 100 LEDs, which enable the grille to light up in a variety of customisable ways. The central star logo is also illuminated, although the extent to which it is will be dependent on local regulations. Mercedes boss Ola Källenius said the new design would ensure Mercedes could maintain its identity through its EVs 'in current times, with 100-plus Chinese firms' and others entering the market; and ensure it could carry 'the calling card of Mercedes, the unmistakable Mercedesness' into the future when new ICE cars finally go off sale from 2035. Like the smaller CLA, the GLC's overall design is of a progressive look. It draws heavily on Mercedes' Vision EQXX concept car in terms of aerodynamic performance and minimising the loads on the motors to maximise efficiency. For reference, the streamlined EQXX extracted 627 miles from a 100kWh battery pack last year. As a result, this approach will yield a futuristic-looking design, with a rakish bubble-like roofline. According to Mercedes design chief Gorden Wagener, the ambition is to give the new model 'a strong identity' in the 'sea of sameness' that he perceives among today's EVs. Much of the GLC's cockpit design remains under wraps, but the new CLA hints at what to expect. That car's dashboard is designed around the latest iteration of Mercedes' Superscreen, which spans the width of the dashboard with three digital displays – a 10.25in screen for driving information, a 14.6in infotainment screen in the middle and a 14in screen for the front passenger. Like its iX3 rival, the GLC will dispense with many physical buttons and instead use voice controls backed by artificial intelligence systems.
