M&S Sparks card

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.

Not sure about Gary's 'intimate' performance as an incentive...
Shades of Full Monty and a fairly sweaty and awkward lap dance spring to mind Confused

Ha @Eaumyword! It gets worse...

It's a chicken and an egg thing with the Sparks card isn't it? No point using it if all the offers are useless but if you don't use it you may not get good offers.

Not had any offers for ages (other than the Gary Barlow tickets Grin). Last week, I gave up waiting and spent quite a lot. Just checked, and now I have 25% off clothing. I might buy again & return the full price stuff Wink

Sooverthemill · 25/11/2021 08:22

I get offers from time to time but usually for stuff I never buy online ( bras, knickers). If the system worked they would know that I have never ever been into a shop since I got a card online because I am housebound so the in store only offers really piss me off. Even if I could get to a store we are about 20 miles from the berparest one so why would I go?

Heyvedge · 25/11/2021 10:12

Yay! 25% off clothing for me as well, glad I held off

Just Gary for me :(
IamGusFring · 25/11/2021 10:33

I only got 15% off today ! Boo!

DukkaDukka · 25/11/2021 11:09

I only got the 15% too. Did anyone else get emailed a survey asking what you thought about Sparks?

APurpleSquirrel · 25/11/2021 11:43

I've got a 20% of clothing offer but the bloody things I wanted to buy have disappeared from the site!!!

NewModelArmyMayhem18 · 25/11/2021 12:19

I haven't got any discount :-( I am really cross because it's not as if I haven't spent ££££s with M&S over the years.

TheWeeDonkeyFella · 25/11/2021 12:23

After months of non-MS related offers (stately homes, Gary etc) I too got 15% off clothing this morning - better than the previous offerings but still a bit galling when they're also issuing 25% vouchers too.

Bokky · 25/11/2021 12:26

I don't have anything at all on my offers 🙄

TheWeeDonkeyFella · 25/11/2021 12:33

Maybe you'll get something tomorrow Bokky if they're doing updated offers to tie in with Black Friday.

Classica · 25/11/2021 12:39

You're clearly considered a cut above by M&S if they didn't even try to insult you with the Gary offer.

SusannaQueen · 25/11/2021 13:23

Still just me and bloody Gary at my Sparks pity party. Had to give in and buy DH some chinos for work and a Percy blanket for DD.
I'm always in there buying bits, but I used to get more offers when I did my food shop there, but stopped because they were only giving £12 of £120 instead of the £4 off £40 and I can't afford a £100+ shop. I don't get any vouchers now. Haven't ordered any Christmas food either as their veggie offerings were woeful.

ADreadedSunnyDay · 25/11/2021 13:26

@SusannaQueen. I only have Gary too. No useful discounts for me despite spending ££££ online with M&S recently.

MrsBerthaRochester · 25/11/2021 13:26

I have the 10% off but am determined to hold off until I get 25%.

Heyvedge · 25/11/2021 13:45

£12 off £120 for foodShock, I thought that Waitrose was bad enough sending me £8 off £80, there are only two of us plus DS at Christmas so I find it difficult to spend that much in one shop even at M&S and Waitrose, both shops used to give money off £40 shop which was much better

I haven't bought clothes from there for ages, maybe that's why I got the 25%, I do need to get some of their boring but comfortable straight leg joggers for in the house though so I will get myself a pair in each colour, instead of just one pair now I have the discount

hedgehogger1 · 25/11/2021 14:00

I've got nothing. Not even Barlow

Eaumyword · 25/11/2021 14:06

You can have my Barlow? I don't want him Grin

Classica · 25/11/2021 14:13

Ha, this is the only thing I have on my shopping list from M&s too. The £15 ones.

Heyvedge · 25/11/2021 15:09

Haha, I must be a cheapskate, it’s the £12.50 ones. I just bought them and a Percy pig nightshirt I spotted when in the shop. It’s very busy maybe people are using their discount if they got it

1moreglassplease · 25/11/2021 15:15

Just checked and I have 10% off plants and flowers online and the bloody Gary Barlow offer.

Ashue · 26/11/2021 01:08

Still just me and bloody Gary at my Sparks pity party Grin.

Same here! I think there'll be quite a few of us.

But I don't really spend much in M&S anyway. I spent a small fortune on an M&S turkey last year and it was very average; this year it'll be a random one from Tesco or Lidl. But I do like an M&S red cabbage ...

I suspect they are changing their whole modus operandus at the moment - with all the White Stuff, Jaeger, Nobodys Child concessions. As I said before, it used to annoy me, the bizarre offers of a random "mango" or 10 pence off some ice cream. But now I try to laugh about it ...

onitlikeacarbonnet · 26/11/2021 08:17

I’ve seen quite a few free shops going through on self service in the last year. One lady had a trolley load so would’ve been at least £50. The rest were either lunch stuff or baskets so less than £20.
A member of staff told me that they’d served someone who had got a £100+ clothing shopping for free.
But I doubt the folk getting their sandwich free are shouting about it.

I got a 10% off yesterday too so the dcs xmas pjs are ordered. At least it’s one thing off the list.
