Can you promote in r/ukpersonalfinance?

Discuss, learn and request advice on how to budget, protect, save and invest your pounds and pence in the UK.

The short answer

Do not mention or promote your product/company — provide neutral, high-quality, on-topic personal finance advice and point users to the public wiki if relevant.

What works here

  • Provide helpful, on-topic personal finance answers
  • Refer users to the sub's public wiki/resources
  • Participate in discussion without promoting a product or requesting contact

What gets posts removed

  • Posting about your product, service, tool, blog, app or launch
  • Sharing referral codes or asking users to DM you
  • Posting surveys, commercial solicitations, or ads without prior moderator approval

Where this comes from

View the current official rules on Reddit

No ads or self-promotion

Rule explicitly bans promoting websites, tools, apps, calculators, blogs, newsletters and requires mod approval for surveys/AMAs/journalist enquiries.

No referral codes

Rule forbids posting or requesting referral codes and asking people to PM for them.

No requesting or offering DMs

Rule forbids soliciting private messages as a result of subreddit activity to protect members.

High-quality, on-topic help required

Top-level comments must be on-topic and helpful; the sub emphasises civil, constructive finance advice and use of the wiki.

Use the wiki and flowchart

The sidebar repeatedly directs users to the sub's wiki and flowchart for common questions; promotes pointing people to those resources instead of self-promotion.
