Do you still get offers with your Sparks card?

I’ve been checking but it’s a long time since I’ve had any M&S offers (not this month when it’s my birthday)
Do they not do them anymore?

I’ve not had much at all since the advent calendar in dec - usually get a free loaf every now and then

NoDairyNoProblem · 15/02/2023 15:35

I get some now but I had a time where I didn’t get any for 3/4 months and I eventually called after 2 months and the woman told me ‘it’s the way the algorithm works’ 🫣

alwayscheery · 15/02/2023 15:38

Nothing at all.
I no longer log in to sparks and I no longer buy anything from M and S.

Theraffarian · 15/02/2023 15:38

Free loaf of bread this week , don’t remember anything in January , but had a free bottle of Buck’s Fizz in December and sweets in November I think

raffys · 15/02/2023 15:40

Free bar of chocolate last week and discount on lingerie which I used

PolkadotsAndMoonbeams · 15/02/2023 15:43

I have 25% off theatre tickets, and 40% off cinema tickets. Maybe because I used the My Fair Lady offer?

xogossipgirlxo · 15/02/2023 15:48

Nope, but could it be because I don't shop in M&S too often now? Maybe some odd item from clothing section few times a year.

reluctantbrit · 15/02/2023 16:06

Nothing free since the advent thing and most offers are not of any use for me. I scan it because I like the charity link and I don't mind if they know I buy bread, chocolate and fruit.

Has anyone tried their Sparks Plus for £120/year or the Delivery Pass for £20? I wonder what will happen to those who aren't having it and trying to order?

Sartre · 15/02/2023 16:09

Just the odd discount on things I wouldn’t buy. Haven’t had a freebie since the bag of percy pigs in early December.

Not just me then! I like the Good Move stuff & I thought they would maybe give some offer for my birthday month like most other places do

Yes but it is weird stuff like a currently one is 75p off when you spend £4.50 on tinned fish. I don’t think I’ve ever bought tinned fish there.

mybunniesandme · 15/02/2023 16:17

I just checked mine and have a free bag of Percy pigs 😋

drspouse · 15/02/2023 16:23

I just looked and I have 8, including 3 non M&S. Mainly food.

Yalz · 15/02/2023 16:29

Nothing at all to do with shopping with M&S in store or online.

Currently I have the chance to win a car, up to 25% off theatre tickets in places nowhere near where I live, and something to do with Sparks days out which would give me up to 40% off some cinema tickets when I haven’t been to the cinema for years and don’t want to.

I am happy that they give 1p or whatever to the RNLI when I scan my card. That’s “Yah Boo Sucks” to Farage for me.

Fairyliz · 15/02/2023 16:29

In January last year I bought DH a coat in the sales which he wanted for his birthday.
Since then every single month I have received offers off men’s clothes; nothing at all off women’s, beauty or any freebies.
I actually contacted them via the app saying do you know I am a woman but no reply. Perhaps they think I have transitioned?

popandchoc · 15/02/2023 16:45

I get quite a few food ones like 50p off cheese etc.

magbob · 15/02/2023 16:48

Free Percy Pigs last week. Free loaf of bread this week. I just pick up my freebies - don't buy anything else!!!

Surroundedbyfools · 15/02/2023 16:49

Yeah. Always shite offers. My husband gets things like free cookies, free tenner to spend, free juice. I get shit like 40p off a bag of potatoes

QuietlyConfident · 15/02/2023 16:51

Yes. So far this year I've had discounts off clothing, food and homeware, the days out/musicals offers, a free loaf and a free bar of chocolate.

I used the money off jeans offer and a money off bedding offer, so I guess they thought it was worth their while to keep on sending me offers.

Xandarien · 15/02/2023 16:54

I picked up a free box of cereal today (never had that offer before!) also have an offer for a free loaf of bread.

MudLady · 15/02/2023 16:54

Money off cinema or theatre tickets (couldn't use either as we don't have anything locally), chance to win a car (we don't drive), but I have a voucher for a free pack of apples. We eat a lot of apples.

I had noticed that the offers seem useless lately, they rarely have money off stuff I actually want now. Like a PP I continue to scan it mainly for the charity donation.

woodhill · 15/02/2023 16:54

Yes had some offers and vouchers

fussychica · 15/02/2023 16:58

Never had anything free. Get a few £1 off/15% off offers on food and a few clothing discounts. I don't have a branch locally so only shop there every couple of months at most. My visits don't usually coincide with my offers still being valid.

Floralnomad · 15/02/2023 17:03

I get less than I use to but I had a period of about 3/4 months before Christmas where I had none at all .

Favouritefruits · 15/02/2023 17:04

I’ve had 1 new offer since the advent calendar at Christmas. I was beginning to think it was just me.
