It means you will find a different selection on offer available to start your week.
This includes prizes such as a £300 voucher for a lastminute.com holiday with 100 up for grabs each week.
There will be bigger savings on Vue cinema tickets too, with two for £6 or four for £12 on Mondays only - compared to two for £9 or four for £18 at other times in the week on the app.
And they are throwing in some freebies as well, with Tony's Chocolonely bars to claim.

Giffgaff's 50p 'unlimited everything' deal is £180 off and rivals EE, O2 and Three
Giffgaff has slashed £180 off its 'best ever' unlimited data, calls and texts plan. Giffgaff has launched an unlimited data deal to rival major networks like EE, O2 and Three. On Friday (August 15), giffgaff announced it has slashed £180 off its 'unlimited everything' plan, offering unlimited data, calls and texts for £15 per month. Usually priced at £25, the price cut means customers will pay 50p per day over a 30-day period. The plan – which giffgaff calls its 'best ever' – also provides 5GB of inclusive roaming in the EU and select destinations. It's available on an 18-month contract, with customers receiving a £10 discount each month to a total of £180. Giffgaff runs on the O2 network, with coverage including 5G at no extra cost in areas where 5G is available on the 'unlimited everything' plan. The provider also allows new customers to keep their existing phone number. After the minimum term the plan will revert to the usual £25, but at this point customers are no longer tied into any contract. For those looking for a new phone to go with their data plan, giffgaff has knocked £80 off the iPhone 16e – Apple's latest model. It now comes in at £539 when paying up front, or £14.42 per month over 36 months with a £20 upfront payment. Announcing the new 'unlimited everything' deal, Ash Schofield, CEO at giffgaff, said: 'We're always looking for ways to improve our SIM plans to make life a little easier for our members, so we're proud to launch this absolute steal of a deal. Not only that, but while many other network providers increased their prices this year, we stuck to our commitment to no mid-contract price rises, so our members can rest easy that their mobile bill will stay the same for the length of their contract.' Giffgaff isn't the only brand tempting new customers this month, as Currys-backed retailer is giving away £120 cashback with select SIM plans. The deal is with iD Mobile's 50GB SIM only plan, which usually costs £8 per month. However, this essentially works out at £3 per month across the 24-month contract after cashback. Elsewhere, Sky Mobile is throwing in a pair of free Galaxy Buds3 Pro worth £219 with its £22 Samsung Galaxy S25 package. But for those sticking with giffgaff, the company has earned thousands of positive ratings from customers, as one five-star review says: 'Giffgaff offer a simple, straightforward service with competitor beating prices. I have never had problems with their coverage and I have been with them for many years now. I honestly don't think that there's a better provider out there.' Another says: 'Good service and value for money. Monthly contract means you can change the contract each month if you need more or less data, calls or texts in the coming month. No call centre but all issues are quickly fixed in the community section of the website or app.' This customer offered a more mixed review, saying: 'Would like an easy way via email or phone etc to contact giffgaff when an issue occurs. You provide a good service, but contacting giffgaff not easy.' While another glowing review says: 'Very fair prices, excellent customer service. A website that is easy to negotiate and good communications. The best mobile company I have been with.'

Brits warned to change up passwords as hacker reveals 10 most common phrases
It can take under three minutes for hackers to discover a password online. With technology and the internet becoming an everyday part of people's lives, whether it be social media, online shopping, streaming sites or browsing the web, many of us have a variety of passwords we use for different accounts. Now while many sites have password requirements new users need to meet - such as length, numbers, punctuation and capital letters - many of us are guilty of using the same or easy phrases for different accounts. Well for those in need of a wake up call about the dangers of using simple passwords, a professional ethical hacker has shared how easy it is for cyber crooks to discover their new victim's password and take over their account. In fact, many can do it in under three minutes. Ethical hacker Brandyn Murtagh provides his expertise to companies to help identify and address digital security weakness, reports the Mirror. By utilising solely publicly accessible breaches, Brandyn left volunteers shocked as he was able to easily uncover their passwords - even ones they were using at the time. However he didn't stop there, as he was able to expose a variety of personal information including mobile numbers, home address and even more worryingly the locations they had recently been too. These are all forms of data that cyber crooks regularly exploit to gain access to more accounts and commit fraud. After shocking the volunteers with how much data he was able to acquire, Brandyn went on to give crucial advice for creating new passwords. He advised that account users should never reuse an identical password and should always employ a minimum of 14 characters with random phrases. On top of this, he recommends activating two-factor authentication whenever it is possible. The latest company the professional hacker has joined up with is Virgin Media O2. The firm requested his help to promote safer password security this summer after research conducted by the company showed that more than one in 20 Brits use the word 'password' as a password. On top of this, the survey also highlighted that of 2,000 adults, the same amount (seven per cent) use 'password1' as a regular login. Director of fraud at Virgin Media O2 Murray Mackenzie said: "We're seeing a trend where, despite people worrying about online threats, weak and short passwords are putting them at risk. "That's why we're lifting the lid on how easy it is for cybercriminals with the right know-how to get their hands on your data and passwords online - and providing quick, simple steps to help people protect themselves." The research also showed that despite scams and hacks being at an all-time high, six in 10 adults admitted to using basic passwords while online. In terms of repeating passwords across multiple sites, 45 per cent of respondents shared that they rely on a 'trusted' phrase even though they know it's wrong. However, a further 11 per cent of people declared they didn't see the harm in using their predictable password. The research also discovered that a high number of people use personal information in their passwords, including children's or pet names (27 per cent) or their own date of birth (14 per cent). By doing so, online users are basically spoon feeding hackers their personal information. Many respondents also admitted that they viewed changing passwords as a hassle, with 27 per cent sharing they have never altered their email account password, while 35 per cent haven't bothered to update the combination to their bank account. Additionally, of the 37 per cent of Brits that have fallen victim to online breaches, only 26 per cent of them changed their password to something different. Top 10 most commonly used tech passwords by Brits Password1 Password 123456 123456789 Abcd1234 Iloveyou Football Querty 123456a Secret In terms of generations, Baby Boomers are seen to be more cautious about online security in comparison to the high tech Generation Z. In the OnePoll survey, a whopping 43 per cent of Gen Z people admitted to using guessable passwords, while this dropped to only 20 per cent in the older generation. Murray Mackenzie added: "We're working tirelessly to keep customers safe from cybercriminals – blocking millions of fraudulent texts, malware and spyware, and flagging harmful websites and suspicious calls. "But with bad actors stopping at nothing to access your accounts, we all need to take action to stay safe online from fraud. That starts with using strong, unique passwords - especially for your email, phone, social media, and online banking." Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

Ethical hacker exposes how criminals access YOUR data with just an email address
Criminals are finding sneakier ways to access your data and steal your cash. Sophisticated scams are on the rise, and new research from Virgin Media O2 shows one in five 5 Britons have already been hacked. An investigation by the telecoms giant and Good Morning Britain shows how easily your data can be accessed... How an email address can give criminals your details While personal scams are on the rise, so too are cyberattacks on well-known high street names. M&S has been a recent casualty after criminals froze critical systems. Freelance ethical hacker Brandyn Murtagh works with businesses, including Virgin O2, to identify and fix these vulnerabilities to prevent further attacks. Murtaugh does not have a criminal background, he uses the same techniques used by criminals for good to see what information hackers might have access to through just an email address. He told Dave Fishwick, who has been working on preventing scams, that he has an ethical hacking system that can search up to 28 billion 'hacked' records from 2010 to 2025 within three minutes. There are also marketplaces online where criminals can pay for hacked information. With just the emails of two volunteers, Murtagh was able to find current and previous passwords, including a work one, email addresses and phone numbers. He even found their addresses and the places they've recently visited. All of this information can be used by a hacker to access banking passwords that can then be reset to give criminals full control of their accounts. Murtagh says one of the worst instances was a hacker having access to an email address, from which they were able to lock out access to every account associated with the user, including financial and social media profiles. How to protect yourself Dave Fishwick has worked with ITV to help people protect themselves from hackers. His number one tip is to choose a strong and unique password for each login and use two-factor authentication. Virgin O2's research shows that a quarter of people use basic passwords, with nearly half reusing the same one across different sites. Most worryingly, one in 20 admits to using 'password' as their password. People should be cautious of cold calls out of the blue from big organisations, like HMRC, particularly as hackers keep up with current affairs to trick people into handing over their information. The most recent example of this has been a winter fuel payment scam text sent to pensioners, but Murtaugh says the most common scams are in connection with recruitment. This Is Money revealed this scam two years ago, when a reader was scammed out of £16,500, leaving her penniless.
