MSE Blagged special offer deals

Newbies only. Sign up by 30 September

New to cashback site Quidco? You can get an extra £30 cashback when you spend £5 or more online through it. Sign up using our special Quidco link* by 11.59pm on Wednesday 30 September, or before 20,000 people sign up, whichever's first.

Once registered, you have 30 days – or until 30 September if signing up in September – to make a qualifying purchase at one of thousands of participating brands.

You'll also automatically be given a three month trial of Quidco's 'Premium' tier. It says this gets up to 25% higher regular cashback rates and extra cashback on gift card withdrawals. After three months, it'll take £1 from your cashback balance every month you shop with Quidco unless you downgrade to the free tier. If you don't want to carry on with Premium, go to 'Account type' in your account settings to downgrade.

How to maximise the deal

• You'll get the regular cashback rate as well as the £30 bonus. It makes this deal a no-brainer if you have a planned purchase you can make through Quidco. Do check a retailer's threshold for its normal cashback though – for example, Asda online grocery £10 cashback currently requires a spend over £48.

• No planned purchase? Spend the minimum. Buy something useful that only costs £5. For example, a silicone air fryer tray from Dunelm or a pack of screws from B&Q will trigger the bonus.

• Watch out for delivery costs. Choose free local click & collect where possible, as delivery fees don't count toward the £5 minimum spend.

Need-to-knows

• Important. Cashback is NEVER guaranteed. See it as a bonus rather than a certainty. Occasionally purchases can fail to track (see what to do if this happens in 'More info' below) or the company you bought from can go bust. We've further help in our Six major cashback safety rules.

• It can take months to get your cashback. The £30 will appear as 'Bonus Cashback' in the 'Activity' section of your Quidco account. Once your purchase is confirmed by the retailer, it usually becomes withdrawable within a week. However, retailer confirmation itself can take three to six months (or longer). Check the 'estimated payment date' on the retailer's Quidco page before buying. For more info, see its What happens when I make a purchase? page.

• There are some exclusions, so check before spending. The extra cashback isn't available on some categories, including finance, gift cards and telecoms, and on some individual retailers, providers, products and services. See the full list in 'More info' below. Only new members are eligible and you must sign up via our special Quidco link*. The deal can only be used once per household and can't be used with any other bonus offer, including Quidco's refer-a-friend scheme.

For full disclosure... MoneySavingExpert and Quidco are both part of MONY Group (full info in our Editorial Code). Our analysis is always based on what the top deal is – nothing else – and we think earning £30 by spending £5 or more makes MoneySaving sense.

6,000 available. Cheapest we've ever seen it

You can get the WV 5 Plus window vac* for £44.99 when you enter the MSE Blagged code MSEWV5 online at Kärcher*. At full-price, the window vac is £89.99, and it's currently on sale for £59.99, so you'll get an extra £15 off.

This deal is on until 11.59pm on Sunday 2 August or until all 6,000 units are sold, whichever's first. Delivery's free with our code (normally £2.95), and Kärcher says it should take about three working days.

Window vacuums can be good for removing condensation from windows, mirrors and shower screens.

The WV 5 Plus has 35 minutes of continuous runtime and includes a removable battery with LED indicator. It has a three-year warranty (two-years as standard, plus an extra year guarantee automatically when buying directly from Kärcher).

How good is this deal?

Our code makes this the cheapest we've ever seen this model – the previous cheapest was £47.98, which was our blagged deal on it from last year. The next current cheapest price is £59.99 at Kärcher, Amazon, Argos and several other retailers.

A cheaper alternative to buying brand-new is sometimes to look at refurbished items – either on specialist refurbished sites, or via an eBay outlet.

For example, £3.80 instead of the typical £38. Plus get 35% off your second box

If you're new to tailored dog food company Tails.com* you can get 90% off your first box, and 35% off your second, when you enter the MSE Blagged code PDRUZS at checkout by 11.59pm on Monday 31 August.

The code works on meals for one dog, including dry food, wet food and treats. Tails.com creates a recipe tailored to your dog's breed, age, lifestyle and dietary needs, and it says all recipes are developed by vets and pet nutritionists.

As it's tailored food, the price and portion size of the box will be different for each dog. A box of food will last for one month and your first box includes a portion scoop. Tails.com says the typical monthly cost is about £38, so based on that, you'd pay about £3.80 for your first month with this deal.

Delivery's free for most, but if you live in Northern Ireland, the Scottish Highlands & Islands or the Isle of Man it's £2.99 for orders under £30 – see full Tails.com delivery info*.

Important: You'll be enrolled in a flexible monthly subscription. Your second box will receive 35% off, and then further boxes will be charged at full-price unless you pause or cancel. You can do this any time (including within the first month) from your Tails.com account if you don't want to continue with it, and you won't be charged for further deliveries. If you decide to get the second box, the discount for it will be automatically applied when the next payment is taken.

How Tails.com works

Complete a short profile about your dog, including their breed, age, activity level and any dietary needs. Tails.com will recommend a personalised recipe, with a choice of dry food, wet food or both, plus tailored treats if you'd like them. The cost per month depends on the particular recipe for your dog – see more on Tails.com pricing.

Tails.com has an 'excellent' 4.3/5 Trustpilot score from over 46,700 reviews.

Exclusions

The code won't work on toys or seasonal items and there's a maximum discount of £75 (Tails.com T&Cs* has full info), though most won't be bothered by that maximum, with the average monthly price of food being about £38.

See our MoneySaving guide for dog owners for more ways to save on costs.

Barbour, AllSaints, Cat, O’Neill, Radley and Superdry

Been eye-ing up some new prescription specs or sunnies? You can get a pair for £27 delivered (normally £99) when using the MSE Blagged code MSE27 at our special SpeckyFourEyes* link. The code is only valid on the items found via our link from the following brands: Barbour, AllSaints, Cat, O’Neill, Radley and Superdry.

The deal will end at 11.59pm on Friday 14 August, and you'll need to enter it in the vouchers box at the 'Shopping cart - summary' page once you've chosen your frames and lenses.

Need-to-knows for getting the cheapest price

• Pick 'continue with free lenses' when asked to choose your lens package (stage five of the checkout process), as thinner or scratch-resistant lenses will cost £15 to £150 extra. To avoid other extras and keep costs down, select 'skip step & continue' until you reach the checkout.

• You can enter your prescription during the checkout process, or opt to send it later. Some frames aren't suitable for high prescriptions, so keep an eye out when choosing. Do note that only standard lenses are included in the price – you'll pay extra for bifocal or thin lenses.

• Select 'Royal Mail Standard' delivery – our code will make this option free (normally £6.99). Delivery takes 7-20 working days.

You can use the code more than once but can only use one code per item, per transaction – so you'll need to make multiple transactions if you want more than one.

SpeckyFourEyes says there are good stock levels available, but all frames are subject to availability, so they could still sell out fast if demand is high.

If you need to contact SpeckyFourEyes about your order, you can do so via this special contact page.
