A well kept secret obviously. I get the Times every day and this is the first I've heard of it!

From the email;

We'd love you to become a regular reader of The Times and The Sunday Times. If you let us know you've been buying the paper regularly over the coming weeks, we'll send you £25 to spend at M&S - on the finest food, fashion and beautiful items for your home. Why not start with The Rich List which comes out this Sunday, and see how the wealthiest individuals and families are faring in the downturn?

Get a £25 M&S voucher when you buy 21 different editions of The Times and The Sunday Times.

To receive your £25 M&S voucher, just collect and send us 21 differently dated mastheads from The Times or The Sunday Times dated between 26 April and 8 June 2009 and send them to the Freepost address below by 12 June. Please print off and complete the form at the bottom of this email and include it with your mastheads so that we know where to send your voucher. (You can find a picture of a masthead above, to show you which part of the paper to return to us.)

Once we've received your mastheads we'll send you your £25 M&S voucher which you can use at any branch of M&S nationwide (excluding BP stores).

We're really proud that The Times won 'Newspaper of the Year' at the recent 2009 British Press Awards, and look forward to welcoming you as a regular reader so you can see the quality of our journalism for yourself. We are sure you will enjoy every copy of The Times and The Sunday Times and hope you enjoy spending your M&S voucher.

Does look as though this is a targeted promotion. Manda in earlier post says you will need personal collectors number but Cat72 says can phone customer services or e-mail for application form.

Times has certainly been trying to get more subscribers by offering various vouchers if you sign up to subscription & take delivery (if within M25).

Can someone who has received invitation e-mail let us know why they received it - are they subscribed to something on the website? I do receive e-mails from the Times but certainly have not received this one.

For me it would be an easy £25 as I already subscribe for the Times, although I would probably send this off in my daughter's name.

Hope someone can clarify a bit more. Thanks

All I've done with the times is once booked a free preview of wall-e with them and also ordered those book of money off coupons they've done in the past. So I guess that then entered me to their mailing list (as I dont usualy x the box). I get regular emails from them telling me about previews now too and got this one for the m&s vouchers on sunday. People have said they did it last year too. But I suspect if loads of people email/telephone them to try to get the email sent to them, they're gonna soon stop it cos they obviously only target certain people.

Yes, I subscribe too - got the cheapie deal and the £25 Ocado voucher.

I dont think this promotion is aimed at those who already subscribe somehow.
