Anyone in/use m&s club rewards?

Just applied for a 0% card to run up with daily spending and offset the savings against my mortgage (just thought I'd mention it, might be useful to someone).

It gives you the option to join m&s club for £10 a month which seemed steep but benefits I'd use are:
£65 of clothes and homewares vouchers (bound to need some socks!)
£12 birthday food Hall voucher
£20 Christmas voucher for clothes and home

So there's £97. £23 left to break even.

Then there's
32 hot drinks vouchers (value £88) I don't generally do many cafes but I'd use them if I had them.

Free next day delivery (value £5) again I'd use if I had, I regularly use Next if something unexpected comes up and we need clothes!

The fee is taken monthly so I might sign up now and see if I use it, can cancel after receiving Xmas and birthday vouchers in December really 🤔

Anyone have this and find it good value?

I've thought about it and would certainly use the main vouchers as I spend quite a bit in M&S on both food and clothes - providing they are proper vouchers and not £65 off when you spend £300 type ones?

I don't value free next day delivery as I get everything sent to the Simply Food shop that's in walking distance and things do tend to come next day anyway.

You'd think I could use enough cafe vouchers to break even as it's not even one a month, but the reality is that I very rarely want to go for coffee out and when I do, there's rarely a convenient M&S to use and in my experience, their cafes are glacially slow, so it would be quite an effort to use them. I think I decided in the end not to bother. I just have a normal card and get a few pounds of vouchers from the points each year and the odd extra freebie/discount.

Thanks for your perspective. I'd probably end up the same, or pay for it then vouchers expire and such.

Still debating signing up for a while then cancelling after Christmas. Immoral really but within the t&cs.

I thought it was worth it up to recently. M@S are closing the cafes in their Simply Food locations and so coffee vouchers aren’t going to be of any value to me as it’s not worth a 20 mile round trip to the closest cafe just for a ‘free’ coffee. They need to reconsider the Club Rewards offer.
