“With university students preparing to take on more debt than ever as a result of the Government's decision to raise the cap on tuition fees, budgeting is essential,” said ILoveCashback managing Director Brad Blake.

“On top of tuition fees, housing costs, food costs, transport costs, and of course, entertainment fees, it soon adds up! With high inflation and economic uncertainty set to continue, any help we can provide through online savings is crucial.”
