This is to keep it a safe and useful space for MoneySaving discussions. Threads that are – or become – political in nature may be removed in line with the Forum’s rules . Thank you for your understanding. UPDATE 11 May: Tags are now live in Competitions Time. If you haven’t already, please take a look at the new tag-following system, which lets you follow tags you’re interested in and could really help improve the section: https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/tagging-page At the moment, tags are not especially prominent, but that will change in the coming months when we move to a new layout. In that layout, tags will be much more visible on the competitions list and should make it easier to find the types of competitions you’re interested in. 🙏 For now, please, please could you use tags whenever possible when posting competitions? 🙏 It would really help us build up a useful bank of well-tagged open competitions, ready for when tags become more prominent in the new layout. Please don’t worry about getting everything perfect. Just add the tags that seem most useful and relevant to the competition you’re posting. Thanks again for all your feedback and help with this. We’ll keep listening, reviewing how tags are being used, and making improvements where needed. Following on from , I'm planning out Tagging on Competitions time. Starting off with a pilot test for ' Entry Method ' tags. If Compers find them useful, we can keep them and even add more in future if there is demand. If they aren't useful, we can disable them. Please let us know what entry methods you would like to have a tag?

Particularly the handful of tags you think we should start off with. We may try adding a small amount of key tags even before we move to new layouts that make tags really powerful - just so that they're all ready, in place and being used. As a sneak peak at one great new tag feature, when we upgrade you'll be able to follow tags to get notifications when a new comp is posted with that tag 2026-04-29_12-53-13.jpg 29.7K 2026-04-29_12-56-05.jpg 57.5K Join the MSE Forum Get the Free MoneySavingExpert Money Tips E-mail To report inappropriate posts: click the report button Flag a news story: news@moneysavingexpert.com 5 Please keep your suggestions for tags coming.

Edit: My mind maybe too focussed on the filters! - I guess it could be useful if displayed on the list view so you can see before opening.
