Are there no clothing offers with this any more or am I doing something wrong? All I have is £10 off Gary Barlow tickets Grin 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.

It's getting worse
Day 8 for me is to enter a competition to win gifts from Holly Willoughby.
🙉🙁🙉🙁

IamGusFring · 08/12/2021 00:14

Me too - win gifts from Holly Willoughby for one day only 🙄 Its getting worse

IamGusFring · 08/12/2021 00:14

It's a copy of her fricking book .

Bootsnshoes · 08/12/2021 00:32

Same. A Holly Willoughby competition.

YouGotThisKeepGoing · 08/12/2021 00:59

I didn’t think there was competition I could be less interested in than the one for Gary Barlow tickets. M&S have proved me wrong.

BasiliskStare · 08/12/2021 02:29

I know it is not quite the same thing but I have recently got a Tesco club card - no faffing around with collecting points or vouchers - just some things are cheaper at the checkout with a club card - very simple. I have a little local Tesco - not a big one , but there are a fair few things which you do get proper money off at the till . So over Christmas will stock up with a couple of bottles of Gordons - saves £8 - pringles last look 1.50 instead of 2.50 - there are other things - woman cannot live by pringles and gin alone Grin but the simplicity of it really appeals to me.

I buy quite a bit from M&S if you include family underwear / basics , some food , Ocado deliveries etc but I have never really understood the attraction of the M&S card . Last year we got a free tin of M&S shortbread from Ocado - could not give it away for love nor money. I think we have been sent some battery operated snowman/ father Christmas lights this year - well I did not order them . I'll put them somewhere but honestly there comes a point where I couldn't be bothered with the hassle I would have to go through to be offered a chance of a Gary Barlow ticket - I think at that point I would have defenestrated my Sparks card. Surely the whole point of these cards is you let them see your shopping habits and they tailor things accordingly. & make it worth it to you. That said some have obviously had things they appreciate.

I would love to see a You Tube video of people at a GB concert having set fire to their Sparks cards and waving them over their head - ha ha

chalkyc2 · 08/12/2021 05:41

The Holly comp here too. I've had one good offer so far. (This is not it!)

Bokky · 08/12/2021 05:44

Holly offer for me, too. My calendar has been crap. I'm really disappointed with it. I kind of look forward to opening it now to see what rubbish I get each day.

helloitsme3 · 08/12/2021 06:23

20% off clothing

BrownTableMat · 08/12/2021 06:32

Also the Holly book offer. Who is she?

chalkyc2 · 08/12/2021 06:48

Ok I think this is what I'm finding really annoying. Why do some get holly and done 20% off clothes?!? They are in no way comparable?!

CheesySausageFishTrifle · 08/12/2021 07:05

Finally got something decent! 25% off clothing and shoes.. it's almost been worth putting up with Gary for weeks on end.

PomRuns · 08/12/2021 07:07

How could Holly possibly have anything interesting to write about ? Fake laughing maybe.
My offers have been rubbish.

Fairyliz · 08/12/2021 07:33

@slalomsuki

For those of you still with the Gary Barlow tickets-as an added incentive to buy them this Thursday only his special guest is Peter Andre.

I'm afraid no amount of money off a ticket would make me want to see that combination.

@slalomsuki What a great present for the person you don’t like Grin
LBB2020 · 08/12/2021 07:41

Finally 20% off clothing! (single use expires today). I’ve already ordered the coat that’s been in my basket for weeks waiting for a code! I’m happy Smile

APurpleSquirrel · 08/12/2021 07:47

I got the Holly Willoughby comp too - utter rubbish. Not had anything decent & we're on Day 8 of 12???!!

Plantsandpuddlesuits · 08/12/2021 08:05

Holly here too and some other person I've never heard of. Jealous of the person who got 20percent off clothes my ds1 needs new school trousers literally this week they've gone from fine to bursting at the seams and resembling shorts now! We always buy m and s uniform

Westcott313 · 08/12/2021 08:51

25% off clothing finally!

SunsetSmartmeter · 08/12/2021 08:51

@YouGotThisKeepGoing That's exactly what I thought! 

@BasiliskStare "I would love to see a You Tube video of people at a GB concert having set fire to their Sparks cards and waving them over their head" GrinGrinGrin

@Bokky It's the same for me - just when you think they can't top Gary Barlow they plumb the depths & offer you Holly Willoughby! 

@Plantsandpuddlesuits I'd never heard of the other person either Grin

PoshWatchShitShoes · 08/12/2021 09:00

A competition to win a book or a message from someone I don't recognise. That's got to be shitter than 20% off something I don't intend to buy 😂

stopringingme · 08/12/2021 10:38

I have just checked again today and I have 20% off multi packs of Christmas cards - in store only for 6 days.

ShaunaTheSheep · 08/12/2021 11:00

Ooh, joining in, had no idea the offers were random. I've used my 20% off cashmere jumpers, 20% of clothes.
Ignored the money off light up gin and chocs - piled high in the local store so they must be keen to shift them. And the cocktail cans - still haven't got over the disappointment of their pornstar martini dupe Confused
Entered the Gary ticket draw.
Ignored Holly and the random bloke, and a personalised book.
Might take up the credit card just to get £40 back.

SusannaQueen · 08/12/2021 11:03

Today was a a prize draw for Holly Willoughby's bookHmm. But I've also got £5 of snow globe gin, really like the bottles, but I don't drink gin, something off Christmas cards, already bought mine and Gary of course.

ArabeI · 08/12/2021 11:19

Another Holly Willoughby book and/or voice message competition offer here.

This is possibly worse than Gary. I can't decide!

Eaumyword · 08/12/2021 11:30

Holly Bloody Willoughby for me too! Angry
It's official, they hate me.

M&S - all I wanted was a hot drink, or a candle, or a hand wash, or 20/25% off!

Even Co-Op who I hardly spend with are giving me for Christmas a lovely £5 credit spend, which I will use to buy a nice treat and a Foodbank item, win-win!
