    Nor me:(

    I knew about it (possibly had a leaflet in with my bonus vouchers) so went along especially to my local M&S Store but was told that it was by invite only and that not all cardholders had received an invite. I was told by a member of staff that cardholders were selected randomly and that half of the staff had not received an invite!

    I was a bit fed up to say the least, especially considering I wouldn't get the discount off any shopping either. They are having another day for anyone to attend but the main draw for me was the discount.

    I think its a disgrace that they didnt invite ALL cardholders

    I know I wanted to get up early to get there early but this is ridiculous (4:20am) Now I've got the choice of going back to sleep and risking not getting up in time, or filling 3 hours and having to tank up on caffeine later. Decisions decisions! ... Also don't know whether to go to the massive store like I did last time, or go to a smaller store where there might be less people but I don't know if it's doing it for sure.

    EDIT: Thanks to the previous poster, as I was writing this they posted what I needed and couldnt find. Definitely going to the smaller store now.

    In my experience you will be in a massive queue by 9.15.
    I cant make it this time until about half 9 so I am going to give it a miss as you can only get 5 items and I will be so stressed after a couple of hours queueing that I am going to give my blood pressure a break!!
