M&S £5 voucher for donation to Oxfam

[Polly]

Forgive me if this is not the right place for this but have spotted the following:


Bring your unwanted M&S clothes to an Oxfam shop near you, get a £5 (€7) M&S voucher and help to end poverty. Be part of the M&S and Oxfam Clothes exchange


Note: The £5 voucher can only be used for a spend of £35 or over

See oxfam.org.uk for further details

I saw this- it could be really good. I know I've got some old M and S stuff somewhere...

[Caterina]

Ah great, I have some old M&S to give away, and also £20 worth of vouchers from my surveys! Will be able to buy £35 worth of stuff for £10 (BARGAIN!). Thank you for this!

I did this last week. But beware, the elderly sa opened my bag and asked whats this, these arent m&s. I had to explain that Per Una, Limited, etc, etc are all m&s clothes.

The vouchers are for the month ahead too, so in february you will get march vouchers and so on. I think its for a 6 month period.

Do you think that they would accept shoes or just clothing?

the leaflet says clothes but not lingerie, underwear, socks or damaged or soiled clothes. Will accept shoes, hanbags,belts hats or scarves. £5 spend is against £35 spend on clothes, home or beauty and lasts for 30 days.

The voucher I was given today expires on the 29th February - was told they will expire the end of the month that the goods are brought in - i.e. whether you take something in on the 1st of the month or the 21st, you will have to use your voucher by the end of that month.

Is there a limit to how many items you take in ie 1 or10?

[renegade]

forget that last question. I have just read on ther web site that you can take 1 item or as many as you like to claim the #5 voucher. I have loads of tee shirts which I pais #5.00 last year I could take one each time and get my voucher- or do you think this is cheating and unethical?

I work for Oxfam.... The shops do have vouchers for the following month early and we have been told that if customers ask for the following calender month we can give them out..... The minimum donation is one item of 1 m&s clothing, as someone said you can make lots of trips but the vouchers can only be used one per transaction (one per £35), so if you regularly shop there then its a great offer. Plus the constant donations to our shops can be nothing but good!!!

I have found second hand clothes so expensive at our Oxfam that it would be cheaper to buy new clothes in M & S.

Marks and Spencer and Oxfam have a joint venture - if you take your unwanted M and S items to Oxfam, they will give you a £5 voucher for M and S, to spend on purchases over £35. Need to check your local Oxfam is signed up, but as the M and S website says that over 700 branches of Oxfam are involved, there should be one nearby.

I may be wrong but I had one of these vouchers and I think the M&S vouchers have to used by this Friday though (29th) - so be quick!

[kookie]

The assistant in my local shop thought that the scheme is ongoing and there will be March vouchers - advised me to wait to take in more stuff.
Hope she is right.

[kookie]

Sorry Tigwell, just seen your post.

[purplepatch]

Was going to do this to get an extra fiver off their already very good 30% discount on wine cases at the moment instore, but reading the small print you cannot use the voucher in the food department :rolleyes:

What a shame.

i donated a per una suit to Oxfam and got my voucher - then realised you need to spend £35 to get £5 off and it is only on beauty, clothes or home. as my local M&S is small, there is no home section to speak of really. i would have given the suit to Oxfam anyway but think the offer looks more appealing than it actually is - you still need to spend £30 in M&S!

[tigwell]

Hi costingbunny! Did you forget to pick up your warm fuzzy feeling when you got your voucher? That Per Una suit (in the shop i work in) would have raised at least £20- which could help feed a child orphaned by aids for three and a half months......
