M&S Sparks card

[SusannaQueen]

Are there no clothing offers with this any more or am I doing something wrong? All I have is £10 off Gary Barlow tickets and some lifestyle discount. Don't even get in-store vouchers for food shops now.
I've been holding off buying a pair of jeans, In the hope of % off.

Oh yes @sittingdownb - just remembered that I’ve got the free drink on my card too 😊

I got Gary Barlow offer - middle aged 50 something - my DH 60+ got 25% off beauty and clothing (single use)

@Luvacuppatea, is clearly having an affair with the head of Sparks.

Gary Effing Barlow!!! I'm another one feeling insulted!

@MrsBerthaRochester

If you make a new account then you get the money off offers.

I've only joined sparks last month. Got (I think) 10% off clothes - not useful as I needed a new school skirts for my daughters and uniforms somehow aren't clothes so couldn't use it for that

And then, nothing. Currently 0 offers !

I was wondering if my app needed updating because I’ve had nothing the last few weeks except a coffee and I shop daily in there.

The £5 off £40 vouchers seem to have stopped too 🧐

I wonder if they’re in a similar mess to everyone else with spiralling costs and trying hard not to pass them on to customers…. The quality seems to have slumped this last year too that’s for sure.

I've been waiting forever for a 20% off so I can order my mum some slippers but just get bloody Gary Barlow. More offers would def make me consider ordering more stuff from them.

I get nothing at all "We're busy improving your Sparks experience" - well they've been at this for months.... Might want to check whoever had the job is OK.

@Whitney168

Sparks really is the most useless loyalty scheme ever ...

(Boots Advantage Card, on the other hand - barely ever go in there, yet I somehow always seem to have loads of points?!)

It truly is.

Hahahahaha @WhatHoMarjorie - I’ve just looked at DH and he honestly doesn’t have enough spark in him to be the head of anything 😂. Many eons ago, when Sparks was a new concept, I remember one of the assistants in our local store telling me that it’s one of those schemes that gathers pace with use, as in, the more you use your Sparks card, the more offers you get. I think that could well be true. I only started regularly shopping in our local (food only) M&S during lockdown because the queues were shorter than the ‘big’ supermarkets and it was always relatively well stocked. My Sparks offers definitely increased. I’ve stayed shopping there, but there’s only myself and DH to cater for. Not sure I would have done it / could have afforded it when I had a young family......

I've had nothing for months either, but I currently have Gary Barlow and £5 off clothing or beauty.

Last winter I had the free hessian bag and free mince pies.

What's the free blanket like? It seems a slightly bizarre offer!

I think we should ALL book Gary Barlow tickets turn up holding our sparks cards 😂😂😂 and have a good night out 🍷🍷

It used to be good, but since lockdown 2020 they must of cut down on all there offers, I think I've only had one offer of 20% in all that time, I don't use my marks credit card so much, so that could be why as well.

John Lewis is even worse - haven’t had a single offer on my card all year! Have they pulled the card?

I always use my M&S credit card weekly in the food hall and still no offers.

I just thinking this about my Sparks card Not even a free bag of Percy Pigs.

I've got 50p off a TV times magazine. What's wrong with that?!

I’ve currently got 15% off clothing and beauty plus the Barlow ticket offer (FFS I can’t stand him), first time I’ve had a % off in ages though and I’m sure it used to be 20%.

It really is a useless piece of plastic. Has anyone ever scanned it and got their shopping for free?

@Ionlydomassiveones

Another fail for M&S. I mention how useless the card is whenever they ask me for it at the till. Some of the cashiers have agreed with me.

Yep. And I continue to scan mine in the hope that I'll get unmissable offers and freebies from the food hall. Instead, m&s gets all the intel on my shopping habits (which, of course, is what it's all about).

@MadisonAvenue yes, I got mine free fairly recently 😊

@ Madison Avenue

Not me and I don't know anyone who has.🙁

Thing is, it's actually worth scanning because some people randomly win their shopping for free. I live in hope!

Oh fail! Cross posted! DD's friend won her shopping not so long ago

Gary is clearly struggling to sell tickets as I have an offer also coupled with 10% off flowers for delivery. Nothing useful for a while and I have bought some jumpers from there recently.
