Banesto

 

 

 

Banesto is offering a free car or scooter to new customers opening an account.  Sound too good to be true?  Well obviously you need to deposit a substantial sum to qualify, but even so, it has to be the first time in Spain that a bank has made such an offer.  This is not a prize draw where you have a snowballs chance of winning - each and every customer depositing the minimum required amount will receive a vehicle.  Plus, they pay the registration tax, car tax and delivery to your nearest dealer.

Now before you get too excited and run off to your nearest branch, this is how much you have to deposit to qualify:

Mopeds
 .............Cars
18,000 euros   - Piaggio Fly 50 99,000 euros   -  Citroen C2
33,000 euros   - X7 Scooter 120,000 euros -  Citroen C3

38,000 euros   - Vespa GTS

 160,000 euros -  Citroen C4

You will have to commit to a certain length of time which varies between 24 to 36 months which does not seem unreasonable.   Of course, we don´t know what the rate of interest would be that they are offering as you are led to a form you have to complete to receive more details.  As there is no such thing as a free lunch, I would not expect it to be one of the highest interest accounts, but it certainly is a good gimmick!

Work from home with amazonDesperate times call for desperate measures!  If you are looking for a way to earn a few extra euros you might want to try Amazon Mechanical Turk.

Buyers list tasks that they want done ranging from visiting websites to writing articles and you get paid per completed project.  Different to bidding sites, there are a certain amount of ´hits´ available and you can choose to grab one of these ´hits´or jobs available.  Your work is then accepted or rejected by the buyer.

Be warned however that you are unlikely to find anything that pays more than 8 euros per project with most of them paying much, much less. However, if you are new to working online, it can be a good way for you to practice and familiarise yourself with the internet.  You can also put any work that you complete in a portfolio which you can use for freelance websites.

Multi lingual instant messenger
Do you have a Spanish friend you would like to chat to but find it really difficult understanding each other?

Or would you like to meet new friends to chat to online just so that you can practice your Spanish?

With MeGlobe instant messenger, you can type the message in your own language and it will automatically translate it to the target language of the person you are chatting with. How easy is that?!

They have even set up multi-lingual chat rooms so that you can get to know new people to chat with. So no need to worry if you just want to find someone to practice with.

This is a beta service so may not be perfect just yet, but it is a fantastic idea that could make life a whole lot easier. Imagine companies like Telefonica and pals started using this on their support sites - no more struggling to make yourself understood.

We would be very interested in feedback on how easy you found it to use MeGlobe - try it, it´s free!

If you are moving to Spain with children, one of the most important decisions you will have to make is where to send your children to school. Private or public school?

Both systems have their advantages and disadvantages and the right choice will depend on your particular situation, and also on your children - their personalities, their ability to adapt etc.

This guide from KidsinSpain.es covers the differences and has a question and answer section to show you what to expect.

It´s a great price at only €8.00 and could save you alot of headaches when trying to decide which type of education is right for you.
