Credit cards are like fire. Used right they're a useful tool, but get it wrong and they burn. Many use them to collect points or cashback on spending they'd do anyway, but for others they're just another debt that needs to be paid. So this week, we want to know if you have a credit card and if so, whether you've debt on it and how much?

An easy-access savings account allows you to deposit and (perhaps more importantly) withdraw whenever you like. But, with rates often lower than for fixed savings accounts, where your money's locked away for a set period, we wondered how often you're taking advantage of the 'access' element of your easy-access account. Let us know in our poll below.

Haggling can result in big savings – on anything from digital TV and broadband to breakdown cover and car insurance. Each year we try to gauge the success rates of those who have done it.

There's less than a month until Christmas day, and with the Black Friday sales over we want to know how much of your shopping you have done so far (if you have decided to give presents this year- see MSE Christmas pre-nupp for why sometimes the best present is not giving at all). So is your Christmas in the bag, or are you leaving it until the last minute?

The festive period is the highest spending period of the year for most people. However, for many the current cost of living crisis might mean spending a little less than usual. So this week, we want to know – including food, drink, decorations, presents, travel and more – how much are you planning to spend on Christmas this year, and is it more or less than you would typically spend?

Both Morrisons and Sainsbury's have recently made changes to their respective loyalty schemes – with one becoming more generous and one less. So we thought it would be a good time to ask whether you use a supermarket loyalty scheme, and, if so, how much money it helps you save.

Amazon is the first port of call for many when it comes to online shopping, with nearly half of you heading straight to the retail giant without comparing prices elsewhere, according to our 2021 poll. As we're entering the high-spend period in the run-up to Christmas, we want to see if that's changed – so tell us, do you compare prices when shopping online, or just head to Amazon out of habit?

With top-pick rates at their highest level in over two years, it's important to check your savings are earning as much interest as they can – and if not, move them (see Top savings accounts for the current best buys). Yet we know switching savings isn't everyone's top priority. So when was the last time you moved your cash into a higher-paying account?
