Does anyone do the saving thing for Xmas where you get the vouchers to spend in November?? I'm tempted this year ready for 2014, I'm terrible at saving so this way it'll be gone out my back and sorted. It will def spread out the Xmas payments a lot! X |

My Nan used to use park but there is a risk, a similar company went bust shortly before Christmas a couple of years ago leaving people without vouchers and without cash.
Could you set up an ISA then a standing order each payday to deposit money to the ISA? |

I put £20 a month away in a savings club at work and also into a voucher scheme through the school ...
It seems tough at the time, but you do reap the benefits at this time of year  |

When that happened park sent out a letter of assurance that that would not happen to their customers if ever they had problems.
Trouble with an ISA is you can take money out when you want. |

That is the only real issue, have to have willpower with an ISA.
I save up everything lower than 50p and managed to save about £90 this year  also Tesco points can be saved and released in Nov and I save my Boots points up. |

A much easier and safer way to save for Christmas is to buy a saving stamp at a lge supermarket, like Asda, anything from £1 upwards, when you do your weekly shop. |
