Martin’s round-up: he knows he can trust Snoop

This month Snoop prompted me to look at savings. Specifically, apps that ‘round-up’ for you. Say you spend £3.74 at your local shop, these apps will take the £0.26 and put that aside into a savings account. Whilst you are technically spending more from your debit account, you are saving a little on the side.

This has been a large part of me using Snoop. Financial decisions can often be daunting and overwhelming, but I have found using Snoop has taken the sting out of looking at my finances and has given me more confidence to actually do the things I need to and look at new opportunities like ‘round-up’ saving. Obviously since the pandemic, spending like that has taken a downturn, but I’ve still got £35.42 in a savings account just by rounding up my transactions.

As a side note, all recommended financial products within Snoop are regulated by the FCA, so you know they are reputable and legitimate. Which is more important to me now more than ever in an age of online scams and schemes. I know I can trust Snoop.

Over the last few months I have found myself turning to Snoop more and more before I shop to check there isn’t a cheeky little trick or code to help me get it cheaper or a better version elsewhere - or even from the same place I’m already looking! It’s the little things like a trick to get £10 off M&S Food when you spend £20.

This month more than others I seem to have seen a lot of advice on Snoop regarding things to watch out for.

One such piece of advice was about rising Vehicle Tax and another about the lockdown rules changing in Scotland. I haven’t been keeping tabs on the news for a while now, so these are updates I would otherwise have not known about. There are loads of examples of this kind of thing all over Snoop and I find it a really great way to stay on top of my fiscal responsibilities.

Something I haven’t used yet is the function to recommend content to Snoop. I think I may use this next month although I’d need to find something useful that Snoop hasn’t already claimed dibs on!

I know there’s a whole host of new features coming up which I’m looking forward to trying out and I’ll let you know how I get on with them when they go live.
