Has anyone got a next VIP slot yet ? When do they get given out ?

That's it really . I didn't get one last year so I'm hoping for one this year !

I always got them fairly well in advance of sales, but I had a credit account with them and a balance of around £1000 most of the time as DD used it too. I just found their quality very very poor over the last 12 months, and I've closed my account. I did notice that they didn't like high rates of returns?

Nope, and I hardly ever miss out.

Next thread, Facebook. And looking at some stock of the girls stuff that were in stock this morning alot is OOS now so perhaps couriers/staff had theirs today.

Next VIP slots are available online. Just got mine.

lennoxtown · 20/12/2016 09:08

delilahbucket · 20/12/2016 09:15

Got mine Grin

JDHP11 · 20/12/2016 09:58

Got mine! :)

poppym12 · 20/12/2016 10:20

Me too. Just checked to see if the few things I ordered yesterday are in the sale preview. Typically, they're not.

mejon · 20/12/2016 10:26

Just got mine too - 5pm on Thursday. Does anyone know when the slots start as there's usually very little left by the time I log in?

KimmyH74 · 20/12/2016 10:40

I got Thursday at 5pm too, did anyone get any earlier?

ruthsmumkath · 20/12/2016 10:44

Just got mine too Thursday 5pm too

mumilf999 · 20/12/2016 11:01

Thursday 5pm is the first slot

Bambi1980 · 20/12/2016 11:05

Where does it show up in your account if you have a sale slot?

WildwestWind · 20/12/2016 11:06

the earliest slot I've just been offered is 6pm. Hope to get some new bedding.

Juicyfrooty · 20/12/2016 12:46

bambi You usually get an email or sometimes a pop up when you log into your account.

MissingPanda · 20/12/2016 13:08

I got mine today, 7pm on Thursday. Whether I'll want anything or not remains to be seen.

imjessie · 20/12/2016 13:46

Darn my returns rate !!!

Bambi1980 · 20/12/2016 15:47

I've not got one and had no returns. Just out of curiosity how much are people spending with next over the course of a year, those who have got a VIP slot

PickAChew · 20/12/2016 15:55

I got 5pm.

Need joggers and tops for a rapidly growing teen.

youvegottobekidding · 20/12/2016 16:13

Surprise surprise, I haven't got one. Bastards.😁 If I place an order for a couple of things tomorrow or Thursday, what's the chance I'll get it for sale price?! 🤔

imjessie · 20/12/2016 16:27

I must have spent a few thousand as I buy most things for the kids and home from there and we have bought dinner suits and expensive dresses etc.. I've got the arse !!

I have one. I can sort of understand their reasons behind it. I know what size we are in next so rarely return anything. I do spend quite a bit with them. Ds is mostly kitted out by them, dd about 50% and me mainly in next sale stuff! Plus bits for the house.

I suppose if people spend £300 on sale stuff then return some of it they end up reselling sale stuff which they have tighter profit margins on.

tooclosetocall · 20/12/2016 17:06

This is the first year I haven't received a VIP invite.
I spend a lot with them, kids clothes & school uniform being the regular purchases. I always pay over and above so I have good credit balance and I return very little so going by this their 'VIP criteria' is bullshit.

Well it's said that there's no loyalty anymore and they have lost a good, regular paying customer.
Well done Next!

Whitecovers · 20/12/2016 17:06

I've got one for 5pm but looked through the preview and there's hardly anything I fancy. Maybe a dualit kettle n toaster if they're still there and some photo frames.

ijustwannadance · 20/12/2016 17:15

I got 7pm Thursday. Earliest I ever had was 5pm on the Wednesday but don't buy much anymore.
