Tour sites love of the word 'blagged'

Is there any chance of MoneySavingExpert having an new editorial policy of not using "We've blagged a deal!" on items when your staff have negotiated a cash fee in return for you directing your readers to a commercial operation.

"We've negotiated a deal" sounds just as good and does not distort most peoples understanding of the word blagged. For instance, when I buy a pint of milk in a shop, I'd be laughed at if I claimed I'd blagged it.

I completely agree, blagg almost suggest it was attained free of charge while in reality we're being directed to a commercial operation.

I agree - 'blagged' also infers recommendation by MSE, suggests it should be considered a preferred choice because MSE have specifically chosen to blag a deal for their readers.

I've 'negotiated a deal' for a pint of milk sounds just as laughable. It's a poor analogy.
