Has anyone EVER received their shopping for free due by scanning their Sparks card?

[HungrySausage]

I am convinced it’s all one big fat lie. I don’t seem to get any good offers on my card anymore but always scan in the hope I’ll win all my shopping for free. It never happens though

Anyone ever won?

Not yet.

No, nor do I know anyone who has

Yes I have! It was a really boring shop mostly knickers and vests for my children!

I haven't yet but I'm convinced it'll be when I've popped in to buy a 50p tube of mints rather than the hundred pound Christmas shop!

I wonder if it is completely random or whether they have an algorithm to make sure it’s only for boring underwear and tubes mints.

My friend has - it was ages ago though and think the balance was about £25.

Not me, but someone at an M&S food shop did- the self serve checkout announced it

I did, and all I'd bought was a bloody sandwich!

Following with utter intrigue and expectation.

It's a weird loyalty card though isn't it? I used to get a "gift" on my birthday. One, which I posted about on here, could be redeemed for the staggering prize of SOCKS up to the value of £8 - just to make sure I didn't take thr piss and buy some luxury cashmere feet encasements, and keep me in my place at the Everyday Socks part of the store.

My mum did - the shopping was worth about ten pounds I think.

I've thrown away my Sparks card, given the value of the data they get, it's an insult!! I'd rather pay for my own £8 pair of socks and protect my personal information!

I don’t have a Sparks card but I randomly got a promotion called “100% free order” when I was buying some clothes a few months ago.

I am waiting for someone to come and tell me they won a huge shop, but I think I’ll be waiting a long time by the sounds of it!

Was it a good sandwich though?

This is scandalous! So as a loyal Sparks Swiper I’ve won a grand total of nothing but you got a free shop for zero swiping?

The Waitrose card is also rubbish from what I can recall - I don't bother scanning it anymore

Yes, a friend’s mother did.

Ooh I knew I’d get in trouble if I told about this 😂

Yes my friend. Last Christmas. Fifty pounds worth of Christmas food goodies. Lucky lady.

Does anyone also remember the Lloyds Bank promotion that was similar? I didn't win that either....😭

Haha! That's so stingy of them.

To the person re the Waitrose card - what is that all about? A few years ago I moved to somewhere where we had a local Waitrose and I've been in regularly, using my Waitrose card every time. Never a single voucher sent through the post. Yet the people who lived here before got them all the time!?

@Ironmanrocks I've never had a free M&S shop but I did get the Lloyds Bank one many years ago. I can't remember what I bought but the refund was £170!

My sil had this at Superdrug - and the woman servo g her them said "Do you need any perfumes or aftershaves as you might as well get them now"

Her shopping then ended up. About £200 all for free!!

My brother did. When he did a very small shop on someone else’s behalf….

YES I did!! Last year. Sadly on that occasion I had only picked up a couple of reduced pizzas, grand total less than £5...
