MSE Blagged special offer deals

Below are the latest MSE exclusive deals arranged by the MSE Deals team – we call them MSE Blagged deals. We include these and more of the best deals we've spotted in the weekly MSE Money Tips email.

6 current deals

MSE Blagged

New members only. Sign up by 1 May

Pocket an extra £30 cashback when you spend £5 or more via Topcashback. Newbies to the cashback website must sign up through our blagged Topcashback* link by 11.59pm on Friday 1 May or before 5,000 new members have joined, whichever comes first.

You've then got three years (or 1,095 days if you prefer) from when you sign up to make a qualifying purchase from one of the 6,000+ brands Topcashback lists and bag the bonus. As you might expect, there are some exclusions and some other bits you ought to know, so peepers this way please...

Membership's free, but you'll need to opt out of 'Plus'. When you sign up, you're automatically a Topcashback Plus* member. This costs £5 a year and you get top-ups, payout bonuses and exclusives in return. If you want to stick with it, you'll still get the full bonus as the charge will come from the cashback you earn each year. If you'd prefer not to pay, see Topcashback's end Plus membership* page.

You'll be paid the regular cashback rate AND the bonus. If you've a purchase planned that you can make through Topcashback, this deal's a no-brainer. If you've not bought groceries for Morrisons online before, and you spend £95 or more on a shop, you'll get the £8.80 currently being offered to new customers for doing that and the extra £30, so a total of £38.80 cashback.

Maximise your earnings by spending the minimum. It's easy to do by spending a fiver on something that'll come in handy – for example, a four-pack of birthday gift bags from Argos or a 1m phone charging cable from B&Q. But check that where you buy from has free click & collect nearby to save on delivery fees, which aren't counted as part of the minimum spend.

Cashback IS NEVER guaranteed. It's uncommon, but things can go awry, like purchases not tracking or companies going into administration, which is why we've long-warned that cashback should be regarded as a plus rather than being locked in. Avoid unnecessary risks with our six MAJOR cashback safety rules.

Double-check you'll get the bonus. Some companies, categories and products aren't included in the deal – full list in the 'More info' section below. It's for new Topcashback members only, can be used only once and can't be used in conjunction with its referral scheme*. You must sign up using our blagged Topcashback* link. More info in the Topcashback T&Cs* (go down to 'About this promotion').

More info

There are the categories not included in this deal...

Broadband contracts, mobile phone contracts and takeaways (so sadly no extra cashback for treating yourself to the likes of Pizza Hut or Uber Eats).

...and these retailers, providers, products and services ain't included either:

All takeaways, Affordable Mobiles, Animal Friends Insurance, Apple Certified Refurbished, Apple Store Online, Asda Money pet insurance, Autotrader, Confused.com gap insurance, Confused.com home insurance, Confused.com life insurance, Confused.com motorbike insurance, Confused.com pet insurance, Confused.com temporary car insurance, Confused.com travel insurance, Confused.com van insurance, Confused.com van, bike & car insurance, First Direct current account, Gocompare van insurance, Homeprotect landlord insurance, O2, O2 mobile broadband, Policy Expert home insurance, Purely Pets insurance, Quotezone, Skyscanner, So-Sure mobile phone insurance, Swinton landlord insurance, Three Sim contracts, Topcashback broadband comparison, Topcashback mobile comparison, uSwitch broadband comparison, uSwitch car insurance comparison, uSwitch home insurance comparison, uSwitch mobile comparison, Wealthify stocks & shares ISA, and Xe money transfer.

How long will it take for your earnings to arrive?

According to Topcashback, the key factor is who you made your qualifying purchase with, as it has to wait for them to confirm it and stump up the money, which "can take on average between one and three months".

The purchase should show in your Topcashback account* within 24 hours, though it can take up to seven days. The bonus should also show there after seven days, and you'll also be given an estimated payable speed* so you have an idea of when your cashback will get to you.

The Topcashback T&Cs* state that your bonus will be ready to withdraw "once your qualifying purchase is confirmed (shown as 'confirmed' in your account earnings)".

Has your qualifying purchase not appeared in your account?

Give it seven days to do so. If it's still not there, you can ask Topcashback to chase up the company you spent with by raising a claim. For how to do that, see its Why didn't my purchase track?* help.

Note: The Topcashback T&Cs* say that "the cashback bonus may not apply where a missing cashback claim needs to be lodged to get your purchase to track correctly".

1,000 codes available

Via MSE Blagged code. Valid for multi-activity camps for ages 8-16‎

Adventure holiday company PGL* is offering 50% off all kids' multi-activity camps as well as UK family adventure breaks when you book online and enter the MSE Blagged code MSE26 at checkout. If you booked, say, a two-night camp in August, prices would start from £104.50, rather than £209.

Our booking link* will take you to kids' camps by default, but if you want to book a family adventure break, select it in the menu at the top.

There are 1,000 code redemptions available, and the offer's on until 11.59pm on Sunday 31 May, or once all codes have been claimed if that's sooner. Alternatively, you can book via telephone on 0333 3212 114 (quote MSE26).

It's worth noting if you qualify for the Tax-Free Childcare scheme or childcare vouchers, you can use these to pay for your child's camp.

What trips does this work on?

This offer is valid at all nine PGL centres across the UK. There's one in Scotland, two in the North of England, two in central England, three in the South East, and one in the South West, although the family adventure breaks only run at two centres (Barton Hall, Devon and Caythorpe Court, Lincolnshire).

You can use the code on all kids' multi-activity camps and family breaks during May half-term, summer and October half-term, with travel taking place no later than Saturday 31 October or no later than Sunday 1 November for family adventures.

You can book multiple trips or trips for more than one child on one booking (uses one code), but when 1,000 redemptions in total are hit, the deal's finished. If you book two different trips under one booking, PGL might offer you a 'multi-buy' discount of 15% off, but ignore this - our code gives you a bigger saving (and you can't use both).

The first available trip starts on Saturday 23 May for a three or seven-night kids' camp.

For Family Adventures, you can choose from a two, three or four-night holiday at either Devon or Lincolnshire, and the first available trip is from Friday 22 May for a three-night stay.

The following camps are excluded from the offer: Specialist kids' camps, Family French Adventures and family activity days.

You can choose from two to seven-night stays for multi-activity trips (it won't work on 'specialist adventure camps', such as trips solely for horse riding, cooking or watersports) or two to four-night family adventures.

Here are the different trips, with prices including the discount code:

  • Two-night Kids’ Camp – from £104.50 (normally from £209)

  • Three-night Kids’ Camp – from £134.50 (normally from £269)

  • Four-night Kids’ Camp – from £209.50 (normally from £419)

  • Seven-night Kids’ Camp – from £324.50 (normally from £649)

  • Two-night Family Adventure – from £69.50 for a child and from £74.50 for an adult (normally from £139 child and £149 adult)

  • Three-night Family Adventure – from £104.50 for a child and from £114.50 for an adult (normally from £209 child and £229 adult)

  • Four-night Family Adventure – from £129.50 for a child and from £144.50 for an adult (normally from £259 child and £289 adult)

Kids will be grouped by their ages in the following categories: 8 to 11 years old, 11 to 13, and 13 to 16.

PGL kids’ camps are all-inclusive, so kids get three meals a day, accommodation in bedrooms, and a schedule of activities (there are over 40 to choose from), plus evening entertainment, all with 24-hour pastoral care.

It's worth noting that extras such as travel, camp kit, bedding, and early drop offs/late pick ups are not included in the offer and will be charged at full-price.

If you want these optional full-price extras, you'll need to add them at the first stage of your booking when you select your holiday.

How good is this deal?

This is one of the strongest deals we've seen from PGL and we last ran this offer in June 2025. In the past we've spotted an 'up to 60% off' sale but this was for last-minute trips so availability was limited. There is currently 25% off kids' camps, but of course, our code offers a deeper discount.

The average place at a non-sleepaway daytime holiday club in the UK is £175 per week, according to charity Coram, so if you're looking for childcare anyway, £209.50 for a four-night camp including food and accommodation is decent.

The code only applies to full-price camps and can't be used alongside any other offer. See full terms and conditions for kids' adventure camps and for family adventures.

Normally £38 to £50

Update Friday 17 April: Grüum decided to allocate more sets to this deal, and there are currently 8,000 remaining.

If you go via our special Grüum link* you can choose one beauty set that would normally cost £38 to £50 for £4.95 (just the cost of delivery). You can pick one from the following sets:

Spring Reset Skin & Hair Set – Grüum says the items would normally cost £38 separately

  • Hair and body wash in 'Bergamot & Grapefruit' (35g) – £10

  • Brightening face wash (35g) – £9

  • Facial moisture bar (35g) – £12

  • Roll-on fragrance in 'Scandinavian Spring' (9ml) – £12

Skin & Scent Set with SPF (Spring Fragrance) – normally £49 separately

  • Roll-on fragrance in 'Scandinavian Spring' (9ml) – £12

  • SPF30 5-star UVA face sunscreen (50ml) – £8

  • After sun bar (35g) – £15

  • SPF lip conditioner (9ml) – £14

Skin & Scent Set with SPF (Summer Fragrance) – normally £50 separately

  • Roll-on fragrance in 'Santorini Summer' (9ml) – £18

  • SPF30 5-star UVA face sunscreen (50ml) – £8

  • Tan intensifying moisturiser (50ml) – £10

  • SPF lip conditioner (9ml) – £14

If you don't want to pay for any extra items, make sure to click "No thanks, I'll skip this one".

The offer is available until all 10,000 sets have been claimed (there are more than 3,000 of each set), and it's limited to one set per customer. Delivery takes three to five working days.

While Grüum doesn't usually offer these particular sets for sale, similar bundles on its website start from £22, so we reckon this is a decent deal.

What is Grüum? It's an online beauty and grooming business. When we checked on Tuesday 14 April, Grüum had a 4.6 out of 5 Trustpilot score based on 6,600+ reviews.

What if I have questions about my order?  You can contact customer service by searching for your issue on Gruum's Help page.

Gousto newbies only

Plus 25% off your second month. Cheapest deal we've seen if ordering 3+ boxes

If you're new to Gousto and your household's never ordered from it before, go via our special Gousto link* for 50% off your first month of its recipe boxes and 25% off your second month – you can get up to four boxes per month. The offer should be automatically applied, but if not, enter the code MSE50252M to add it.

The deal ends at 11.59pm on Monday 4 May, or when 5,000 boxes have been redeemed, whichever is sooner. You get free next-day delivery on your first box (depending on availability and time of order), then delivery costs £3.99 from then on.

Important: You'll be automatically signed up to an ongoing subscription which you can skip, pause or cancel at any time. Your first month of boxes will be 50% off, then your second month of boxes will be 25% off – but you can stop the subscription at any point. After the two months, any subsequent boxes will be charged at full-price, unless you cancel. Your discount is valid for two months from the date of sign up.

How good is this deal?

MSE Olivia says: "Based on two people, we found you could get a five-meal box for £23 with our code – that's £2.33 per serving. This offer is the strongest we've seen if you want to try a Gousto subscription for a few weeks. We've spotted it's offering a refer-a-friend promotion which gets '65% off your first box, 40% off your second, then 25% off your third to eighth box' – our deal works out cheaper if you want to order three or more boxes, but if you know you're likely to just order one or two boxes, you may be better off going with a larger first-box discount."

What do you get in a box?

Each box contains recipe instructions and pre-portioned ingredients for two to five meals that'll feed one to five people. You can pick from over 175 recipes that change weekly, such as stews, pasta, and curries.

If you continue after the first box and you forget to choose recipes for your next box by the deadline, Gousto automatically chooses for you based on your previous picks. For more information about cancellation, deliveries and more, see Gousto's help centre. If you need to, you can contact Gousto's customer service team.

Some recipes (marked with an additional charge, such as '+£2 a serving') and marketplace items (such as wine, desserts and honey) cost extra and aren't included in our discount code. If you add those to you order it will incur a surcharge.

How to cancel your subscription

If you want to cancel or skip a box, Gousto says you'll need to do it online or in the Gousto app via your account by midday, three days before your next delivery day – you can check this in your online profile. For example, if your next delivery is scheduled for a Friday, you'd need to cancel by midday on Tuesday.

35 days left

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 Sunday 31 May.

The code works on meals for one dog, including dry food, wet food and treats. 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.

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 cancellable monthly subscription. After the first two months, 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

Give it some basic info about your pooch, including age, breed and any medical or dietary requirements they have. You can then choose if you'd like wet or dry food, if your dog has any preferred flavours and if you'd like any treats included. The cost per month depends on the particular recipe for your dog – see more on Tails.com pricing.

While we're obviously not experts in dog nutrition, Tails.com has an 'excellent' 4.3/5 Trustpilot score from over 45,600 reviews. Tails.com says all of its food is developed by vets and nutritionists.

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.

Via MSE Blagged code

If you've been eye-ing up Ted Baker prescription specs or sunnies, you can get a pair for £37 delivered (normally £135), with the MSE Blagged code MSE37TB via our link at SpeckyFourEyes*. The code's valid until 11.59pm on Thursday 30 April.

The code is only valid on selected Ted Baker items found via our link, and you'll need to enter it in the vouchers box on the 'Shopping cart - summary' page once you've chosen your frames and lenses.

Need-to-knows for getting the cheapest price

  • To get them cheapest, 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-£150 extra. To avoid other extras and keep costs down, select 'skip step & continue' until you reach the checkout.

  • You can either 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.

MSE Georgia-May says:

It's tricky to compare prices for these exact frames, as many of them are end-of-line and aren't sold elsewhere – but I reckon £37 all-in for a pair of branded prescription specs or sunglasses is pretty decent. They're normally £135 at SpeckyFourEyes, and when I checked on Friday 20 March, I found some for up to £190 at Boots.

SpeckyFourEyes may not always be cheapest, so do your own price comparison before buying. See our Cheap Glasses page for other deals on specs.

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.
