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.

Rakuten 10% off code
MSE Blagged code valid on everything for 48hrs. Min spend £5
ExpiredIf you sign in or register at Amazon-style online marketplace Rakuten* you can get 10% off when you spend £5+ and enter the MSE Blagged code MSE10RAK. The code will expire at 11.59pm on Thu 24 Sep, or as soon as it's been used by 2,000 people (whichever comes first).
It's valid on everything Rakuten sells - including iPads, game consoles, DVDS, books, beauty and clothing - but you won't be able to use the code with more than one seller/shop as Rakuten's checkout requires you to pay separately and the code can only be used once, maximum £40 discount.
On Tue 22 Sep, we found the following prices after applying the code:
- iPad Air 16GB* - £265.50 delivered (next cheapest we found, £304.95 delivered at Laptops Direct)
- Xbox One 1TB console* - £279 delivered (next cheapest we found, £329.86 delivered at Amazon)
- Marc Jacobs 50ml fragrance* - £27 delivered (next cheapest we found, £38.99 delivered at Amazon)
Like Amazon, Rakuten's prices do fluctuate but in certain areas it can often be the cheapest to begin with - so in these cases the 10% code gives a great price. Delivery costs vary by seller.
As ever, do your own price comparisons with our MegaShopBot Tool.

Use the Money Mantras
Before spending, use Martin’s Mantras. If you answer 'NO' to any, then don't buy!
Then ask:
- Do I need it?
- Can I afford it?
- Have you checked prices elsewhere?
Then ask:
- Will I use it?
- Is it worth it?
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.
