  • Does anyone know if the next summer sale includes furniture?? Was wondering whether it is worth waiting for the sale to buy a sofa and table…

    It does include homeware, but the items included in the sale are much more limited than in the clothes section, so really no guarantee that your curtains or furniture would be included. They also sell out quickly. If you have your heart set on a particular pair of curtains, you could always order them just before the sale starts, to make sure you get them, and then buy them again in the sale if poss, and send the original order back?? Couldn't really do that with furniture though!

    Is there a way to guarantee a VIP sale invite? Have had them before but not for a while and really want some furniture this year so am banking on getting in the sale! Am thinking that I may have more chance if I have a balance on my account as I normally pay it off straight away. Have left some on there this time to see if it makes a difference. Any advice much appreciated! Also not sure how furniture purchases happen in store - especially during a sale so don't know if this is an option!

    Hi, I have always had a VIP invite and I have no idea how it works or how I have been so lucky. This year I am not feeling so optimistic because I also normally get an invite for the 15% off preview for the new catalogue where I normally buy a few bits of school uniform. This year I didn't get the 15% off invite. I phoned next and was told invites were sent randomly. I wonder if all those who have had VIP invites in the past have had the preview invite too? or has anyone had 1 without the other? Just wondering if this is any indication as to who might get a VIP slot or not!

    Well I've had the preview this time (but not for last couple of seasons) so hopefully that's a sign!
