This includes money off at Pizza Express, Burger King, Rosa's Thai, Itsu, as well as 25 per cent off on alcohol at Waitrose, 25 per cent off meals at Asda and 50 per cent off snacks at Sainbury's, Waitrose, and Morrisons and Co-Op.
Seven lucky users will also walk away with 1 million Avios points to spend on travel.

"Uber One Member Days is about more than just deals, it's about bringing a little more joy and everyday value to the lives of our members," said Danielle Sheridan, Head of Global Membership at Uber.
"Whether it's a random act of kindness, a compliment, or some free food - we all deserve to have a brighter week, and Uber One Member Days is here to help."
As part of the move, Uber is also handing out "Golden" Uber One envelopes in major cities across the UK with extra freebies such as Uber credits and free Uber One trials.

Do house prices really double every 10 years? Why where you live has made a big difference
The old adage that house prices double roughly every 10 years may be broken, according to new analysis by Zoopla. It revealed that on average, prices have failed to double - even over the last two decades. House prices across Britain have increased by an average of 74 per cent over the last 20 years, according to the property portal, rising from £154,300 to £268,200. Consumer prices inflation has been about 76 per cent over the same period, while retail prices inflation has been 107.5 per cent, our inflation calculator shows. Zoopla says the ratio between house prices and earnings has also stayed broadly the same during that time, with the average home costing 6.4 times the typical annual salary. This would suggest that house prices are no less affordable than they were two decades ago. However, this is not entirely true given that house price increases vary significantly across regions. Where have house prices risen most? London has seen the most significant house price increases over the last twenty years, according to Zoopla's data. It says the average home in the capital has risen by 119 per cent since 2005, going from £244,200 to £534,400. House prices in the South East and Eastern England have also seen house prices register greater percentage gains than the national average over the past 20 years. Both regions have seen average property prices increase by 87 per cent during that time. House price to earnings ratios have also increased in both regions, from 7.8 to 8.6 in the South East and 7.1 to 7.7 in Eastern England. Why exactly where you live matters for house prices But even within each given region, there are local areas that have done better than others. Within the South East, the town of Elmbridge in Surrey has seen the biggest average increase in house prices over the last two decades, up from £338,800 to £712,700 - a 110 per cent increase. Despite its high property prices, the area's excellent transport links to London and picturesque countryside make it a highly attractive location for families. However, there are also more affordable areas in the South East, with Southampton in Hampshire registering the lowest average price increases in the region over the last 20 years, up 63 per cent from £138,500 to £225,500. In Eastern England, average house prices in St Albans have seen the most significant increase in the region since 2005, up 108 per cent from £298,600 to £622,100. Just 25 miles away from London, the city is popular with commuters as well as history enthusiasts due to its spectacular cathedral and Roman architecture. However, like the South East, there are more affordable pockets in Eastern England, with the popular coastal town Great Yarmouth seeing the lowest growth in average house price increases in the region over the last 20 years, up 77 per cent from £105,900 to £187,700. The North-South divide: what's happening? What's clear from Zoopla's data is that there is a gap between the North and South of England - but this been closing in recent years. Average house prices have increased by 39 per cent over 20 years in the North East, the smallest rise of any region. House price to earnings ratios have improved the most in the North East compared to the rest of the UK, falling from 5.7 to 4 over the last twenty years. Sunderland has registered the lowest average house price increases in the region, with prices rising from £101,600 to £124,000 - a mere 22 per cent change. Elsewhere, affordability has also improved in the North West and Yorkshire, with house price to earnings ratios falling from 6 to 5.1 in the North West and 5.7 to 5 in Yorkshire. In Blackpool on the North West coast, average house prices have increased by just 26 per cent, with homes now costing £124,300 on average, up from £98,400 in 2005. In Hull, the fourth-largest city in Yorkshire, average house prices have increased by 49 per cent, or £38,100 over the last 20 years. 'The picture is far from uniform across the UK,' said Daniel Copley, consumer expert at Zoopla. 'Our data shows that while some areas have seen dramatic increases, house prices have risen slowly, in line with incomes in northern regions.' For anyone now looking to buy, it means the north will represent much better value for money than in the past. 'If you grew up in north-east England, bought in London and are now returning to your roots, you're in luck,' said Tom Bill, head of UK residential research at Knight Frank. 'You will get significantly more bang for your buck and the equity accumulated means your mortgage could be wiped out altogether. 'The gap between the capital and the rest of the country has narrowed in recent years as more affordable parts of the UK have seen stronger house price growth. 'The squeeze in London means more buyers are looking beyond the M25 and that often includes locations where they have roots, a trend that was accelerated by the pandemic and shifting work patterns.' Best mortgage rates and how to find them Mortgage rates have risen substantially over recent years, meaning that those remortgaging or buying a home face higher costs. That makes it even more important to search out the best possible rate for you and get good mortgage advice, whether you are a first-time buyer, home owner or buy-to-let landlord.

Revealed: The top 12 TV shows that cause the most rows in Brits' homes
It is a row that is regularly played out in homes across the country – who gets control of the television remote. And it has emerged that the programmes most likely to cause a squabble are Match of the Day and Love Island. In a poll of 2,000 Britons, 17 per cent confessed to arguing over the football highlights show. Love Island was second on 13 per cent. Researchers found that 55 per cent regularly row over which TV show to watch. A total of 48 per cent said they often 'gave in' to their partner, but then went and watched their programme on their phone instead. Gina Allen, 33, of Watford, said: 'When Saturday comes round, I know that he [my boyfriend] will want to watch Match of the Day. 'I enjoy it too, but only if Spurs have won that day, which isn't often the case, so I prefer watching something on Netflix or Disney at that time of night.' She added: 'Now I have my own Saturday night shows that I watch without my boyfriend while he shouts and screams at the telly in the other room.' Saturday is the day when arguments are most likely to kick off, and 25 per cent of those polled confessed to hiding the remote control or taking the batteries out. One in ten also admitted telling their children that the TV 'stops working' at 5pm. A spokesman for Toshiba, which commissioned the survey, said: 'It's no wonder that 58 per cent of respondents say they own a second screen to reduce TV-related arguments.' Lawyer Henry Nelson-Case said: 'In the court of living-room justice, the battle for the remote is the ultimate trial by fire. 'I've seen less drama in actual courtrooms than when someone tries to switch off Match of the Day mid-match.'

100,000 electric vehicle charging points to be installed with £381m funding
The cash aims to help the uptake of electric cars among motorists who do not have their own driveways and charging points. The new charging points come on top of 80,000 already installed publicly across the UK, and tens of thousand more installed privately. Transport minister Lilian Greenwood said: 'This Government is powering up the EV revolution by rolling out a charge point every 29 minutes, and our support to roll out over 100,000 local charge points in England shows we're committed to making even more progress. 'We're delivering our Plan for Change by investing over £4 billion to support drivers to make the switch, while backing British car makers through international trade deals – creating jobs, boosting investment and securing our future.' The money comes from the Government's Local Electric Vehicle Infrastructure fund, which helps councils to instal new EV charging points. Meanwhile, in a sign of growing market confidence in EVs, London-based firm Believ has secured £300 million to roll out charging points across the UK.
