Shoppers claim that a ChatGPT hack can provide an instant discount

Savvy shoppers, however, have discovered a clever way to snag discounts every time they shop - and it couldn't be easier.
While many people rely on Googling discount codes, this often means wading through endless websites, squinting at the fine print, and sharing your personal details, only to find the code doesn't even work.
But some deal hunters have uncovered a much simpler trick.
One shopper, known as 'linzooutloud' on TikTok, shared a clever money-saving tip that's taking the internet by storm. The secret? Using ChatGPT.
She claimed it was 'the best ChatGPT hack.'
ChatGPT is an AI tool designed to help with all sorts of tasks, from answering questions to offering suggestions.
It's like having your own virtual assistant that understands your queries and provides helpful responses - perfect for making shopping easier and potentially cheaper.
According to shoppers, all you need to do is type in the company or retailer's name, the month and year, and ask for an active discount code.
They claim it scans the internet for you, finding codes in seconds.
Many users are calling the hack 'life-changing' and a 'game changer' for their shopping experience. So, naturally, I decided to put it to the test.
I asked ChatGPT to help me glow up for summer - I did all the tweaks at home myself
Trying out a range of shops and sites, I found it's definitely worth a go - even if it doesn't always work. Since it's so quick to search, it only takes a few seconds.
First, I searched for general discount codes, simply entering 'activated discount codes for June 2025,' and the results were impressive.
ChatGPT provided a wide variety of codes across fashion brands like Next, BloomChic, and True Classic; technology and electronics, including Temu and HP; and home and lifestyle options for sites like eBay and AliExpress.
When I narrowed down my search to clothing, it got even more specific, offering codes for ASOS, JD Sports, Boohoo, River Island, M&S, and Fashion Nova.

But it didn't stop there.
I tested discount codes for medical items, including weight loss jabs like Ozempic and Monjaro, and found plenty of options from reputable online pharmacies.
After trying out a few, they worked seamlessly.
As for fashion codes, the success rate was more mixed. While many worked well, codes for Marks & Spencer, Next, and River Island weren't recognised.
It's easy to see why this trend is going viral on TikTok – it's a quick and simple way to potentially save a few extra quid on your purchases.
Even if it doesn't work every time, it's worth a shot for the chance to avoid paying full price.

Crackdown on dodgy streaming as 100s of sites used for watching Hollywood films and sport for free BLOCKED for all Brits
People can sometimes evade restrictions by using a VPN - a service which keeps your internet activities private People can sometimes evade restrictions by using a VPN - a service which keeps your internet activities private OUT OF STREAM Crackdown on dodgy streaming as 100s of sites used for watching Hollywood films and sport for free BLOCKED for all Brits Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) HUNDREDS of illegal streaming sites have reportedly been blocked for viewers in the UK - and will be impossible to access even with a virtual private network (VPN). Piracy sites with servers in the UK were blocked earlier this month by Cloudflare, an internet infrastructure giant that acts as the middleman between websites and their visitors, TechRadar reported. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 The company uses geo-blocking, meaning the websites are simply unavailable in the UK Credit: Getty Those visiting the pirate streaming sites are expected to be met with Cloudflare's Error HTTP 451 - a block reserved for law-breaking websites only. Pirate streaming sites are already blocked by most internet service providers in the UK, such as BT, Virgin Media and Sky. People can sometimes evade restrictions by using a VPN - a service which keeps your internet activities private. But due to a recent legal order, Cloudflare has reportedly blocked access to up to 200 pirate streaming websites. READ MORE ON STREAMING STREAM OVER Dodgy streaming networks closed in raid as 'piracy barons' caught with £430k And this block cannot be bypassed with a simple VPN. Cloudflare is the company connecting web users to their desired websites - which means they can step in and block access at any time. The company uses geo-blocking, meaning the websites are simply unavailable in the UK. While the sites were barred earlier this month, the legal case calling for their blocking may have started as early as February 2024, TechRadar reported. A private law firm delivered a court order to Google, requesting to block 14 piracy sites, according to the Lumen Database.

It forms part of a European crackdown on piracy. In May, French streaming giant Canal+ scored a legal victory when a landmark ruling ordered five popular VPN providers to block access to over 200 illegal sports streaming sites.

Are YOU owed money? 1million UK workers can still claim refunds worth £1,000s
Plus, we share how you can check to see if you are owed money back TAXING TIMES Are YOU owed money? 1million UK workers can still claim refunds worth £1,000s Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) NEARLY one million UK workers are missing out on refunds worth £1,000's. You could be owed money from the taxman if you overpaid on income tax or other forms of taxes. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 1 You can claim money you are owed if you over paid on income tax Credit: Getty - Contributor There are many reasons why you may have overpaid on your tax, such as being put on the wrong tax code when you started a new job or starting to receive a pension at work. Under current time limits, you can reclaim money back for any tax you over paid going back four years. HMRC has issued a call out on social media encouraging working Brits to check if they are missing out on a backdated payment. A statement on X read: "Don't miss out on your tax refund! Almost 1 million people haven't claimed the money they're owed." Typically at the end of each tax year, which runs from 6 April to 5 April the following year, HMRC works out whether you paid the right amount of tax. The taxman usually issues rebates automatically, but if you think you have been overcharged you can put in a claim yourself. There are steps you can take if you think you have overpaid. You can check what income tax you paid for the last year by visiting the website and logging in with your Government Gateway ID. You can then use the government's income tax estimation tool to see how much income tax you should have paid for a previous tax year. This tool can be found here, How to Qualify for Free or Discounted Council Tax! When you know how much tax you paid you can then work out if you are owed a refund. You can also check and claim a refund via the HMRC app, which is free to download. The tool also lets you file a Self Assessment tax return if you are self employed. HMRC issues letters to four million It comes as HMRC said that it is sending out around four million P800 letters to inform people that they are owed an income tax refund. Workers who pay PAYE tax and pensioners who may have overpaid their tax on pension income are among those who could receive the letters. If you receive a letter it will include a link to the Government's website where you can complete an online form to nominate the bank account you want your rebate paid into. It should then be around five working days until you receive your payment. In some cases if you don't complete the form HMRC will send a cheque, your letter will state if this is the case. If you've received a letter but don't have access to a computer or phone with internet, you can contact HMRC via phone or post. USING HMRC APP The HMRC allows users to get information about tax, National Insurance and benefits. You can use it to check your: tax code National Insurance number income and benefits employment and income history from the previous 5 years Unique Taxpayer Reference (UTR) for Self Assessment Self Assessment tax and how much you owe Child Benefit State Pension forecast gaps in National Insurance contributions You can also use it to: get an estimate of the tax you need to pay make a Self Assessment payment make a Simple Assessment payment set a reminder to make a Self Assessment payment access your Help to Save account use our tax calculator to work out your take home pay after Income Tax and National Insurance deductions track forms and letters you have sent to us claim a refund if you have paid too much tax ask HMRC's digital assistant for help and information update your name update your address save your National Insurance number to your digital wallet check for gaps in your National Insurance contributions and the benefits of paying them check if you can make a payment for gaps in your National Insurance contributions choose to be contacted by HMRC electronically, instead of by letter How to access the app Open the app and enter your Government Gateway user ID and password to sign in for the first time. If you do not have a user ID, you can create one via the app.

SPFL side hit by shock transfer embargo which lasts until NEXT season
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) HAMILTON ACCIES have been hit by the bombshell news that their transfer embargo will last until the end of the season. The news came after John Rankin insisted the relegated Lanarkshire side were working 'around the clock' to get the ban overturned. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 3 Hamilton Accies now play at Broadwood Credit: Kenny Ramsay 3 John Rankin has his work cut out Credit: Kenny Ramsay 3 Hamilton Accies Credit: Kenny Ramsay - The Sun Glasgow Relegated Accies have been under a transfer embargo since they were hit with a 15-point deduction in April for breaching multiple SPFL rules. This ultimately proved insurmountable as the Accies - who now play out of Broadwood - were demoted to League One. And now the club have been told that they'll be prevented from signing any new players right through to the end of next season - including the January transfer window. The SPFL said in a statement: "The SPFL can today confirm that an independent disciplinary tribunal has imposed a season-long transfer embargo on Hamilton Academical FC. "The William Hill League 1 club was already subject to a transfer embargo following remuneration and tax defaults which were determined or admitted during season 2024/25. "Any SPFL club that fails to settle its tax obligations or pay its players on time is subject to an automatic transfer embargo under SPFL Rules. "At a hearing which took place on Thursday 24 July, Hamilton Academical FC admitted to further breaches of SPFL Rules by failing to settle its tax obligations to HMRC on three occasions, and for failing to notify the SPFL that it had been in default of its tax obligations to HMRC on each occasion, as required by SPFL Rules. "Following these latest admitted breaches by the club, an independent disciplinary tribunal imposed the following sanctions: • a transfer embargo which will remain in place until the opening of the registration window, which follows the end of season 2025/26; and • A fine of £7,500 - £5,000 of which is suspended."
