Millions of Tesco credit card users face a huge drop in the number points they collect when spending, with some set to see their benefits culled to just a quarter of their current value.

Tastecard customers have complained about being stung by a £30 fee for yearly membership they didn't want, after phone lines to cancel were busy or the firm failed to act on emailed cancellation requests.

If you come to the end of your tether over a complaint about goods or services, from today you may be able to take it to the new Consumer Ombudsman.

Major supermarkets are using 'confusing and misleading pricing and promotional practices' which in some cases could breach consumer law, a three-month investigation by the UK's competition watchdog has concluded.

If you have the latest iPhone or Apple Watch you can replace your plastic and make your device go BLEEP to pay at major retailers and on London transport. You can also use Apple Pay, which launched today in the UK, via some apps.

Tesco shoppers have been left furious after the supermarket announced it will add a £4 charge to all grocery deliveries under £40 later this month. See below for how to beat it.

Users of certain Apple devices will soon be able to pay for goods at some UK retailers including Boots and Starbucks and for travel on Transport for London simply by touching their handset or watch to a contactless reader.

Shoppers can now get legally binding decisions on complaints from Ombudsman Services if they get nowhere with the retailer itself, although they'll only be able to complain about members of the voluntary scheme.
