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.

3 current deals

ALL GONE

Via MSE Blagged code. Comes with a one-year manufacturer guarantee

Update: 11.52am, Wednesday 30 September. Dyson's website is displaying this offer as sold out.

If you want to clean up on a vacuum deal, you can get a refurbished Dyson Cyclone V10 Absolute cordless vacuum* for £183 delivered – enter the MSE Blagged code MSE183V10 at the payment stage of Dyson's website. It's currently £320 without the code.

There are 1,400 available and the deal will run until 11.59pm on Tuesday 6 October, or until all vacuums have been sold, whichever’s sooner.

You'll get free next-day delivery if you order by 9pm (includes weekends), or you can choose a particular delivery day.

What is a refurbished model?

These are vacuums previously sold by Dyson that have been returned. Dyson says each vacuum is inspected, serviced and tested, as well as being cleaned, sanitised and fitted with genuine replacement parts where needed.

There may be cosmetic imperfections, which Dyson says can range from micro-scratches and light scuffs to more visible marks or discolouration to paint finishes and surfaces – you won't be able to see your exact unit until it arrives.

Dyson's 35-day returns policy still applies to refurbished machines, and they come with a one-year guarantee. For comparison, brand-new Dyson vacuums usually have a two-year guarantee, which may be longer, but buying refurbished is a good way to get a big-brand model at a big discount.

How good is this deal?

Dyson products aren’t MoneySaving, but if it’s a brand you like, then this deal (unlike the vacuum) doesn’t suck. 

The cheapest we've previously seen a brand-new (not refurbished) Cyclone V10 Absolute is £279.99. The cheapest refurbished model we can currently find is £219.99 at Brand Alley – £37 more expensive than our blagged deal.

Dyson has an eBay outlet selling more refurbished models if you'd like to see its full range – we found this model being sold for £307.79 at its outlet recently, though stock has since sold out.

Where to enter the discount code

You'll need to add the vacuum to your basket, then head to the checkout. Enter our Blagged code MSE183V10 at Step 3.

Dyson checkout payment page showing step 3, 'Payment'. A highlighted section contains a 'Have you got a promotional code?' link, a promotional code entry field, and an 'Apply' button.

MSE Blagged code

Been eye-ing up Calvin Klein prescription specs or sunnies? You can get a pair for £35 delivered (normally from £95) when using the MSE Blagged code MSE35CK via our SpeckyFourEyes* link. The code's valid until 11.59pm on Saturday 31 October.

The code only works on the Calvin Klein items shown via our link, and you'll need to enter the code 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 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 delivery option free (normally £6.99). SpeckyFourEyes says delivery usually takes 7-20 working days.

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 £35 all-in for a pair of branded prescription specs or sunglasses is decent. They normally cost from £95 at SpeckyFourEyes, and when I checked on Wednesday 23 September, I found some for up to £190 at M&S Opticians.

SpeckyFourEyes may not always be cheapest, so do your own price comparison before buying. As ever, with branded items in particular, be sure to check reviews if it's a retailer you've not heard of.

See our Cheap Glasses page for other deals on specs.

More info

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

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.

National Theatre at Home newbies

Plus 20% off your first two months (makes it £8/month) if you decide to continue

Theatre lover? Here's a way to watch top shows without paying for a pricey ticket or travelling to London.

The National Theatre's streaming service has 120+ performances from hit productions including Fleabag, All My Sons, Macbeth and A Streetcar Named Desire – and for the first time, it's offering a seven-day free trial for new subscribers.

Plus, enter the code MSE20 when signing up at National Theatre at Home* to get 20% off your first two months if you want to keep it (or you can cancel within the first seven days if you just want the free trial). It normally costs £9.99 a month, so the code will get it for £7.99 a month for the first two months.

The 20% off is valid when signing up by 11.59pm on Monday 5 October, or once 4,000 codes have been redeemed – whichever comes first.

Important. You'll need to enter payment details when you sign up, even if you just want to use the seven-day free trial. When the trial ends, your subscription automatically continues unless you cancel. If you signed up with the code MSE20, you'll pay £7.99 for the first and second months, then the standard monthly price (currently £9.99) until you cancel.

If you want to cancel, you'll need to do it by 11.30pm on the final day of your free trial (so on day seven) or the day before your monthly plan renews. Do this by logging into your account, selecting your avatar, then 'manage subscription' and 'cancel subscription'.

MSE Laura F says:

The National Theatre features award-winning productions that often have international stars. National Theatre at Home lets you experience these shows, plus those from its partner theatres in the West End and beyond, without paying theatre ticket prices or travelling to London.

This is the first time it is offering free access to the service. Add that to our blagged 20% off, and I reckon it's worth a standing ovation.

More info

This code can't be used on annual subscriptions but it can be used on monthly gift subscriptions. It can't be used alongside any other offer, except for the free trial.

Depending on your card provider, you may see a 75p authorisation hold which is used to check payment details are valid. This may show as a pending charge for three to five business days, before dropping off without being charged.

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.
