The M and S Sparks card?

[girlfriend44]

What is the point of the card, other than them knowing what you buy and when?
I didn't use it today as I don't seem to get anything back?
It's not like you get money off and collect points is it?
Anyone enlighten me as to whether or not it's worth carrying on?
Does anyone benefit from theirs?😥

You get the odd freebie (bakery item for example) and there usually are about 8 or so offers on the app e.g. 10% off skirts.

Sometimes the vouchers are good
I used 5 out of 6 last month and got some good savings

They do that lottery thing where you can get your shopping free

I never seem to get the money off vouchers now when they added up the points.
The advent calendar thingy they did last year. Had a couple of decent % off useful things and a few freebies too. Perfume & Christmas cake 👍

I won an £80 shop which I got for free, a few free loaves of bread, cookies, bars of chocolate, Percy pigs etc. I’ve been quite lucky with it I think. I’d prefer points if I’m honest, I shop there regularly so would have accumulated a good amount!

I've got 20% off bedding at the moment.

IME they give you an offer of money off an item when you have just bought said item. I bought a small suitcase a couple of weeks ago and sure enough my latest Sparks offer gives me 20% off luggage. 🤬

I've given up on mine, it's utterly useless.

The only thing I really wanted it for was the odd 'free' coffee in the coffee shop, but everytime the woman tried to scan my Sparks card it wouldn't work.

I've never had anything from them. Give me Tesco every time.

I really dont see the benefits either

I haven't used mine for ages. Just checked the app and it's giving me £1 off a £7 spend on chicken and 20% off bedding.

I get money off when I’ve just bought something too! It’s annoying.

I never even bother with mine. Worst store card ever.

I used to find it quite good but the offers are rubbish now. Just checked and I've got 20% off throws. It's always so random like 10% off kids footwear or women's tights.

Do you not get offers in the app that you can ‘add’ and use? Right now I have a ‘free treat’ (hummus) and 20% off bedding, last week I had 15% off cleaning products and 15% off salads.

Using it also gives you a chance to get your shop for free. They did a daily advent last Xmas too which I hope they do this year.

I've got 15% off all clothing, home, and beauty and several 10% offers for the foodhall at the moment.

I agree, offers recently have been really poor. I do remember with great fondness getting a 1kg jar of Percy pigs a few years ago.... best reward ever! 😂😂

If you go there a lot the christmas advent can be good, I got a bottle of light up gin one year. Also the odd freebie and some discounts which can be for the food halls or other stuff in M&S.

I save quite a bit of money with it. I seem to regularly get 20% off clothes, home and beauty and lots of more specific offers (e.g. 20% off socks) so stock up when I get those. I also get several free treats a year.

I have never understood it. Thought it was just me!

I stick with it for the online Advent event. I got a room spray 2 years ago (easily pleased!)

I think it’s rubbish too, currently £1 off coated poultry, fishcakes and bakes, Chinese meals and 20% off throws for me. The first three would give me indigestion and I don’t need the last one.

I’ve got money off bedding. I just want the friends and family 20% off discount back.

Just got a freebie offer for my birthday: a punnet of grapes or some chocolate biscuits. Whoop. I'm sure I got chocolate truffles or a bottle of wine in years past.

I think it's rubbish. Spent '000's with them and don't even get money off like nectar. Don't use mine anymore. Love M&S but hate their sparks card. Pure rubbish

Total waste of time I think - just stupidly complex and weird offers
