With five weeks until the big day, shops are putting up lights, extending their opening hours and playing those festive tunes, which can only mean one thing… it’s Christmas shopping season!

If you’re looking for bargains but can’t face the Black Friday madness, fear not. With Portfolio Perks, you’ve got more than one way of saving on your shopping.

Ways to save

If you’re braving the high street, you can buy discounted gift cards from Portfolio Perks to use at a variety of retailers. You can give these as presents or use them to do your own Christmas shopping. On top of the discount, you’ll still benefit from the retailer’s usual offers including Black Friday deals. Also, take a look at the In-Store section of Portfolio Perks, for discount codes you can use at the till.

Prefer shopping in the warmth of your home with a mulled wine? Sounds good to us! You can save on your online shopping too, with cashback offers in the Shop Online section. If you’re feeling really savvy, buy a discounted gift card AND claim cashback on the same purchase.
