About offers
Frugal ways believes that if you click one of our links and make a purchase, it is fair and right that you are informed of how much commission the website will receive.
I believe we are the only website which makes this information available to you, the user.
Where ever possible, we will show the amount of commission we receive for using one of our links, in the form of pence per pound you spend (The price you pay is not affected by any commission payments frugal ways may receive).
We make codes available without you having to click any links, so that they can be used on the company's own website, with no cookies left on your computer by visiting this site, should YOU choose to do so.
If you are happy to use our links, then simply click our link to visit the company's website and away you go, thank you.
WE DON'T:
- Advertise particular companies just because they offer a large percentage of commission
- Feature companies because they are holding a competition for website promoters to win (More sales in a particular month = a trip to Barbados)
- Ask questions of our website visitors to push certain products/holidays, etc. towards an offer
- Sell on any information about anyone visiting the website
- "Phish" for emails in anyway, nor do we use banner code hidden from the user to get information to sell on
- Require any "sign up" or personal information registration, for you to use the discounts we post (If you want to use them, then use them!)
- Promote or advertise codes/vouchers etc, that are given via email or post to certain customers that a company is targeting (The company can charge your card with a further amount if your code is not for general release)
- State that "Using our links will help pay for the website to continue" - this is misleading, server space for a website can be purchased for as little as £10 per month!
WE DO:
- ONLY use offers, etc, from high street/internet, reputable companies (You wouldn't give your card details to a market stall holder or carboot stall owner would you!)
- Display codes/sales/offers that are available with the permission of each company, ie, they are on general release (In 99% of cases where a website states "exclusive" codes etc, this is untrue!)
- Hope that you will use our links provided for your convenience - you can of course use any codes we advertise independantly of our website.
In an ideal world, this section of the website would not be needed as high street companies would just lower their prices overall, but the days of good value seem long gone.
The trick is to only use our links for browsing or when you NEED the product being promoted, to save yourself money!
Keep an eye out for our OPINION section and chip in, you might know a tip for saving money that we don't!
