It's not a treat.

I've never had anything via my Sparks card - I've given up on it.

Best freebie I had in M&S food hall was when I spent about £100 & got a ton of those toy groceries. I gave them to a little girl in the queue behind me at the checkout & she was thrilled.

@starsinyourpies I would be! Surely you just get the free loaf of bread and buy yourself a muffin or whatever as you don't have to buy bread.

LadyKenya · 25/11/2022 14:41

Well I got a free cucumber once. I do buy a lot from there though.

I got Percy Pigs this time and I really hate Percy Pigs so that is not a treat for me. I class loaf of bread, a croissant, a pastry, a pack of Pink Lady apples or anything else that comes up as a treat though, I'm not fussy!

John Lewis treats are better this month. Two glasses of fizz and cake in the cafe, plus a Christmas cracker with truffles in. Very treaty!

Thomaslovesalison · 25/11/2022 14:43

I wasn't sure as when I clicked it just took me to the offers page. But there was a free body lotion offer so guess must be that.

simonthedog · 25/11/2022 14:43

I've got Percy pigs which I would never eat.

Supersimkin2 · 25/11/2022 14:45

I’ve got 50p off a croissant.

I shop in there daily. Meh.

greenbirdsong · 25/11/2022 14:47

I got a free loaf of farmhouse bread

LadyKenya · 25/11/2022 14:48

I think that the sparks card is rubbish. It should be more like Sainbury's nectar card.

AntiqueCestChic · 25/11/2022 12:46

I just checked - I don't have any freebies but I do have 75p off cleaning products. That definitely isn't a treat for me - I hate cleaning!

Is yours a free bottle of cleaning product?!

I treated myself to a bottle of all purpose cleaner....only 50p off though!

TurquoiseDress · 25/11/2022 15:03

Also, nearly forgot, I got a free loaf of bread with my Sparks card a few months ago!

Wish the offers were better, but won't knock the free loaf of bread Grin

BarbaraofSeville · 25/11/2022 15:03

I too am excited about the 12 days of treats in December now I know about it.

I've had a few freebies

a pack each of bananas, apples and pears,
porridge pot
loaf of bread
chocolate bar
couple of bags of percy pigs

That's what I can remember, there could be more.

Plus a good few money off vouchers and free extra sides on the meal deals.

I'd say I spend £1-2k a year in M&S usually in small food shops and some clothes. I pay for it all on my M&S credit card so I don't know if that makes a difference?

JesusMaryAndJosephAndTheWeeDon · 25/11/2022 15:04

I keep getting a deal on tinned soup.

Not much of a treat

Whydoiwearsomuchleopardprint · 25/11/2022 15:08

I don’t understand how it works!! Why have I no offers and other people have loads of free stuff?? Is it down to how much you spend there? Most confusing loyalty scheme ever!!

Sleepyquest · 25/11/2022 15:14

Does anyone remember the Gary Barlow 'treat' ? God that annoyed me

TooBigForMyBoots · 25/11/2022 15:16

Bin bags that don't fit your bins?

Tryingtokeepgoing · 25/11/2022 15:20

Chrysanthemum5 · 25/11/2022 13:17

I got a packed of broccoli recently I thought that was a pretty poor 'treat'

That’s no treat at all…and I like broccoli. I rarely bother swiping my sparks card now, it’s the most useless ‘loyalty’ card out there imo. Almost an ant-loyalty card!

TheTeddyBears · 25/11/2022 15:21

Brussel sprouts

😂a cucumber! They obviously value your custom!

shazshaz · 25/11/2022 15:25

I got a loaf of bread a couple of days ago which came in handy because we needed bread but it certainly didn't feel like a treat, especially because I was eyeing up the pastries.

londonmummy1966 · 25/11/2022 15:26

@TheTeddyBears beat me to Brussels sprouts but actually I think a turnip would be even worse.

canina · 25/11/2022 15:27

Where does this gift show up, I've never had one.

Mary46 · 25/11/2022 15:29

Its crap. I had free pack crumpets ran back to aisle. Out stock.

Mary46 · 25/11/2022 15:30

Canina I think u have add on your offers on the app its shows at till then

pimlicoanna · 25/11/2022 15:33

I get so much free stuff on Sparks. It's my favourite loyalty scheme.
