Can I extend the £50 M&S voucher I got when I took out M&S car insurance?

[Johnb0y]

I took out insurance end of July and they expire end of Nov ... which is taking the pee as it's only 4 months! They were one of the deciding factors in choosing M&S over other companies!
Will they extend them if I phone them up?
Or if I buy something for £50, use the voucher and return the item, surely they have to give me a credit note or new voucher with longer expiry period?
Any thoughts?

Surely you should be asking m&s customer service.

I will, but just very busy at work at the moment ...

4 months is fairly generous though, it's a Free Gift with Purchase not the same as buying a Gift Voucher.
And end Nov is still 6 weeks !

YABU. 4 months is a very reasonable amount of time.

No I am sure they won't

Sorry - just realised you didn't post in AIBU My mistake.

But no, I can't see why they would extend it. Best bet would be to buy something and return for vouchers / credit note if you really can't spend it on what you want before the end of November.

Surely if you can find time to buy something you don't need and then time to take it back you'd be as well spending them properly.

Their Christmas stuff must be in pretty soon

Just buy food or wine if there's nothing from clothing, homeware or beauty that you want.
