If you click a link with an * to go through to a provider, we may get paid. This usually only happens if you get a product from it. This is what funds our team of journalists, and keeps us free to use. Yet there are two crucial things you need to know about this.
- This never impacts our editorial recommendations – if it's in, it's in there because we independently rate it best.
- You'll always get as good a deal (or better) than if you went direct.

1 in 8 chance of 100% cashback at Argos, Nike, Groupon, ShopDisney & more
If the cashback you get elsewhere is trivial, it can be worth it
ExpiredIf you're planning to make an online purchase at one of 22 popular retailers including Argos, Nike, Groupon, and ShopDisney by Tue 11 Aug, then you may be able to get up to 100% of your purchase amount back via cashback site Boom25. There's normally a one in 25 chance of cashback, but if you go via this MSE Blagged Boom25* link, you'll have a much better one in eight chance (no matter how large your spend).
How does Boom25 work?
Unlike regular cashback from the likes of Topcashback* or Quidco*, which typically offer 1%-15% cashback on all tracked purchases, Boom25 instead usually offers one in 25 people the full amount they spent (sometimes it's 50%, see below) – so it's essentially boom or bust. While a gamble, it's popular with MoneySavers and can be good if you can't find a discount code, or you only find low or no cashback elsewhere.
Important: No cashback is ever guaranteed, so only make a purchase if you were going to anyway. With cashback in general, and especially with this offer, you need to see it as a bonus if you get it, not a certainty. If you're new to cashback, see our Cashback Sites guide.
How to get 1 in 8 chance of 100% cashback...
- Visit this special Boom25* link and register, or sign in if you've an account already set up.
- Click through from Boom25 to one of the retailers that pay 100% (first see which retailers pay 100% in 'More info' below). Big names include Argos, Matalan, eBay, FitFlop, Groupon, Holland & Barrett, Shark, Moonpig, ShopDisney, New Look and Topman.
- Make your purchase by 11.59pm on Tue 11 Aug. It can be any amount – there's no maximum cashback.
- Once your spend has been approved and processed (this can take months – see below), you'll be notified by email if you've 'won'. Only then can you withdraw the cashback via PayPal.
For more detail on how it all works, see Frequently Asked Questions in 'More info' below.
When will it be only 50% cashback?
Some retailers listed on Boom25 – such as Boots, Iceland, Just Eat and eBay – will only pay 50% cashback to the lucky one in eight, and not the full amount (see which retailers pay 50%). Make sure you've checked what the retailer you're buying from will pay if you 'win', so you can weigh up if it's worth taking a punt on this deal.
What happens if you're unlucky?
As a very small consolation, each time you don't 'win' you get a minimal amount (10p-£6 dependent on your spend) added to your Boom25 account. However, you can only withdraw these funds after a win, so you wouldn't benefit until you made a future purchase via Boom25 and got lucky. So it's barely worth mentioning – it's essentially all or nothing.

Free protection for all shopping!
There's a little-known piece of legislation that turns any credit card into a financial self-defence superhero. 'Section 75' of the Consumer Credit Act means your plastic must protect anything you buy for more than £100 for free, so if there's a problem or the company goes bust, you can still get your money back.
And although Section 75 doesn't apply to debit cards, there is something else to fall back on if you've paid using a debit card, or used a credit card for a purchase under £100. Known as Chargeback, this is part of banks' and card companies' internal rules and not a legal requirement. Read full details of Section 75 or Chargeback, plus how to claim, in our guides.
What the * means above
If a link has an * by it, that means it is an affiliated link and therefore it helps MoneySavingExpert stay free to use, as it is tracked to us. If you go through it, it can sometimes result in a payment or benefit to the site. It's worth noting this means the third party used may be named on any credit agreements.
You shouldn’t notice any difference and the link will never negatively impact the product. Plus the editorial line (the things we write) is NEVER impacted by these links. We aim to look at all available products. If it isn't possible to get an affiliate link for the top deal, it is still included in exactly the same way, just with a non-paying link. For more details, read How this site is financed.

16 June 2021![]()

Martin Lewis VIDEO: Should you pay off your Plan 1 student loan?
18 May 2021![]()
If you started university between 1998 and 2012, or since then in Scotland and Northern Ireland, you'll have a Plan 1 student loan. While much is written about whether those with savings should overpay the current English Plan 2 student loans, there's little out there about Plan 1. I wanted to change that, so here's a video explaining how to decide...
