Beauty Advent Calendars Thread 13 - lucky for us, unlucky for Ryan the Bot

[SheilaFentiman]

Welcome to Thread 13 and happy unboxing to all who sail (sale??) in her as we swap tips, tricks, frustrations and joys of the BAC/FAC journey.

Not too long until Black Friday discounts so keep your fingers crossed and some room on your credit card

Though lots of ACs are out of stock already, so beware (and extra double beware of anything Selfridges Fragrance related!!)

Oooooh I’ll have to have a look next time I’m in Bristol! Thanks

My Sparks offers have just updated and there's £10 reward for £30 spend including beauty

Sadly my new M&S offers are rubbish but thanks for the heads up @TheOnlyMrsW

I really don’t like the new Sparks programme. It’s great if you are getting the good offers, but M&S seem oblivious to what I actually buy in there 🙈

Mine is from either the teal or burgundy jute beauty tote bag with the pattern from the Summer- GWP? I can’t remember.

Call me suspicious but they give me offers a few days after I’ve bought the relevant item. This has happened so often I refuse to believe it’s just coincidence. It really pees me off. 🤬

Not for me. I just have 25% off specific beauty brands such as as aveda and origins. I have been waiting for a generic code so I could purchase the BAC. Oh well it’s at least good for my stash and I really don’t need any temptation.

I have similar branded beauty offers, though I got an £8 reward with £40 beauty spend the other week.

Just seen that the Cult Beauty special edition advent is now out of stock...regretting not having got it now, especially as could have got the free gwp. Wondering if it might come back in stock? Do they usually, does anyone know?

They’ll usually get a few returns/dig stuff out of the back of a cupboard which pop up randomly.

I never get these types of offers and I spend a bloody fortune on clothes, homeware and beauty in M&S 😤

I have got a £2 reward on kids clothes - which I rarely purchase; and a £3 reward if I spend £20 on Munch Mix tins (that's not happening). I will use the £5 if I spend £25 on champagne reward to ease my sorrow 😂

Yours sound like exactly the same offers as me. They sent me a box early thing year saying I was one of their most valued customers (spend the most), Containing sweets, hand cream and a bag. Since then it’s like they’ve decided that I’m hooked so I don’t need any good offers. Well my spend has plummeted so hopefully when they reflect they can see this new sparks rewards really doesn’t reward their most loyal customers.

I have a £2 reward on low alcohol drinks and a £5 reward on champagne 😀😀

I usually stop using my sparks cards after July and suddenly the offers pop in. I use my husbands account if needed or just dont add my details. Last year I got some money off beauty and a 20% discount on anything up to £100. I got 10 quid off a £50 spend this month so far.

I have £2 off Christmas crackers. Very handy 😼

I've also got the champagne voucher 😍but don't normally get anything useful at all from Sparks!

We call it Nadvent in this house 😂

Does anyone know if any more SFAC will go on sale?

My DD’s Kiko advent has arrived and it looks lovely, she will be thrilled. Thanks again @JoRaRaRa dir the discount code.

And a pic of the inside

Oh that’s gorgeous @Georgieporgie29 !
@Pinkballoon5 That’s great, that didn’t even occur to me! Mind you I’m on annual leave and my brain is totally off.

Just checked mine - I have that, too - thank you!

I have those, too ... but when I scrolled down a row it was there

I never used my sparks card. Then last month checked my offers and had 20% off bras and knitwear which I was going to be buying anyway, so very happy!!
This month I just have money off food hall if I spend X amount :/

Looks beautiful 🤩
