Advantages: Sound advice and great money making ideas

Disadvantages: Info not updated regularly enough, site can be a bit confusing

This site is run by Martin Lewis and offers advice on money management, how to save money and make a little extra, how to do one over banks and credit card companies that try to charge you additional fees, etc...

I both love and hate this website. I'm sure alot of us will happily admit the reason we are writing here is thanks to advice from Martin on this site. Most of the time, his advice is good.

Credit card recommendations are mostly very shrewd as are account suggestions, insurance and utility offers and all weekly special offers. If you have the time, they work and will save you money. I have got lost in his pages and have mostly found all his advice to be sound and good (I am writing here after all and not only earning a little but having fun and hopefully being a little informative).

My only slight criticisms would be that sometimes his information is out of date _ I don't mean his news letter which is always up-to-sate but on the main site. I suppose we can't really criticise as this is apparently a non-profit exercise but it would be good if they updated more regularly. Nothing is glaringly inaccurate it's just small things like possible rewards from sites not being updated when the company changes policy. For example, slicethepie.com, the music review site, Martin still claims you can earn up to 25p per review but this is n longer the case and the maximum is 10p. It's a small quibble, I won't lose sleep over it, but though I'd mention it in case you're reading Martin.

The site can also be a little hard to navigate but only marginally.
