To think the Sparks advent calendar really is rubbish?

[QuestionableMouse]

Just looked at it. 20% off mince pies. I had 20% off personalised books yesterday. It's not even a good discount!

You had me all excited then. I thought you meant the band.

Sorry, just the M&S loyalty card!

I've had £5 off a £20 box of chocs, which would be good if I actually wanted them, which I don't.

The best one is a free hot drink in the cafe, but I probably won't get round to using it. Today's is 20% off charcuterie, and I've had 20% off loungewear, but yes, they're all a bit meh, but then what do you expect, they're obviously not going to give out lots of valuable freebies, it's just a marketing exercise to get you in spending money.

@GeodesicDome I but a saw a brilliant Sparks documentary at the cinema earlier in ther year - it's on Netflix now if you have't seen it already.

I had 25% off clothing yesterday, which was good, I used it to get my dad a jumper and some socks.

I missed the first 2 days, but otherwise I’ve had:
£5 off a light up chocolate box
20% off wonderbly
20% off women’s shoes and bags
30% off crumpets today

So 2 good ones and 3 not so good, didn’t rate the wonderbly one as it’s a separate company and nothing to do with M&S, hopefully you’ll get a few good ones as the month continues.

Just remembered, I also won a chance to enter a competition to win tickets for a Gary Barlow concert, but I don't know if that's a competition that's open to anyone, I don't like Gary Barlow, and DP works in the music industry, so I get to go to a lot of gigs for free anyway.

This Town Ain't Big Enough For The Both Of Us.

I get loads of offers for things I never ever buy. I’ve not once bought alcohol.
And I’ve got £5 off a light up bottle of gin 😆

I've had 2 x 20% off snapfish photo books or something... Was really looking forward to discount off clothes or free percy pigs!

Oh today's is 20% off magazine and newspapers

The rewards have always been a bit rubbish

It doesn't sound good op.

I got the wonderbly one two days in a row. Yesterday I got 20% off cashmere and merino so treated myself to a new jumper.
Today, 20% off crumpets. I like crumpets but I'm not driving 8 miles round trip for the sake of some!

It’s absolute rubbish and the Black Friday deals were almost non existent

20% off crumpets isn't worth the drive to the shop for me. It'd cost more in fuel than I'd save.

There is a whole other thread about this & the Sparks card -
M&S Sparks card http://www.mumsnet.com/Talk/styleandd_beauty/4408133-M-S-Sparks-card

Is it right that if you don’t click them on the day, you don’t get the offer?

Got 20% off cocktail cans which is Ok I suppose!

It’s so crap! I also keep forgetting about it and then realising the thing is only valid for one day! What’s the use in that?!?

Oh are they different for everyone one each day then? Even worse! Mine have been utterly crap! 10 percent off Gary Barlow, 20 percent off a photo calendar and today is a fiver off the light up gin, which I don’t want.

I’ve got 20% off cans of cocktails today 🙄

Not RTFT, but I do think sparks is a bit crappy really.

Yup 20% off crumpets today...

Yesterday was 20% off cashmere/wool

I am actually going to m&s tonight so might takr advantage of crumpets

Has it suddenly stopped for anyone else? Was it only for part of Christmas?
