To ask M&S to stop sending me “Percy Pig” promotions

So, checked out my sparks card promotions today. As usual, there is only one. It is a bag of “Percy pig“ sweets. This has been a Sparks promotion I have received every month for the last year or two. Once I got a nice candle for free, but that’s it.

Maybe it’s good if you’re five years old. But as a sixty year-old woman I’m sick to death of getting Percy the pig promotions. Should I complain to M&S about this continued pathetic and unhealthy promotion? I am not sure if this is lighthearted, I know it should be because it’s Christmas! But Percy pig sweets, every week/month pls giveusabreak (plus I bet there’s all kind of dodgy ingredients). AIBU?

The sparks offers are teerible. I only do it for the donation to charity.

Excellent username.

Please create a special email address using that, with which to email M&S.

This has made me laugh so much!

I love Percy Pigs but the thought of the Percy Pig swiss roll turns my stomach!!

I'll swap you my free avocado for the Percy pigs. I love Percy Pigs, I have NEVER bought an avocado.

Took this for my friend at the weekend, bloody percy Christmas trees! Reduced to £10
Still didn’t get one!

Why not just redeem the offer get the sweets for free and donate them to a food bank ? At least then a child would be happy with them and the offer would be off your card.

I don’t understand why people like them so much, they taste like TCP, even the kids refused to eat them!

I was delighted with my free yumnut that time, but as loyalty schemes go, Sparks doesn’t really rock my world.

I don’t get the Percy thing either. They were/are popular sweets but think they’ve done it to death now.
