Fares. They're a pain in the backside, aren't they?
No sooner than our monthly salary enters our account, our commute seems to be draining it again — and with prices growing by the year (this January saw a 3.4% rise), we'll take any money saving tips we can get.
It's no surprise then, that thousands of savvy Londoners have cottoned onto CommuterClub. This nifty membership lets you bag all the benefits of an annual travelcard, with all the flexibility of monthlies. Not only do you get a whole month's worth of travel thrown in for free, but Londonist readers signing up before 5 August can pocket an extra £20 discount too.
Once you're signed up, CommuterClub will send you a brand new Oyster card, preloaded with an Annual travelcard of your choosing, or rail tickets, depending on where you're commuting from. You're then free to zip around London as you please, paying in convenient monthly instalments (rather than coughing up for the entire year at once).
Compared to TfL prices, CommuterClub members could save an average of £300 per year — not to mention those precious minutes wasted in queues at the top-up machines. And the best bit? It's fully flexible. You're free to change your route at any time, and can cancel at any time without penalty, which is handy for those who aren't ready to commit. Because commitment is scary, right?
So go on, flash that CommuterClub wallet in your mates' faces. Flash your free Network Rail Gold Card too. Oh, we didn't mention that? It gives you a third off National Rail travel, a whole host of other money-saving offers, and comes included in your membership. Snazzy.
Frankly, we're not sure how anyone commutes without it.
Sound good? We've teamed up with CommuterClub to offer Londonist readers £20 off their first month. You'll need to be quick though, the offer is only on until 5 August 2018. Click here to get started.
