I think you get them if you have a M&S credit card

You have to have their credit card and the more you spend the more vouchers you get!

If you have an M&S credit card, you get 1 point for every £1 spent at M&S and 1 point for every £2 spent elsewhere. So 100 points = £1 reward voucher. M&S send out your reward vouchers 4 times a year and always include other vouchers for extra points or special offers at the same time.

Thanks for the replies, really appreciate it - I do get quite a few things from there so I think it might be worth me joining - I have never considered if before..

Thanks again.

Hi there,

DH and I have an M&S credit card. We pay for everything on it (£1000) a month, and pay it off in full every month. We normally get £15-£30 each quarter, depending whether we have been given any extra point vouchers in mailings.

We are changing now to priority points as you get more for your points. For 1500 points you get a £25 voucher. You get 1 point per £1 spent. In M&S you would only get £15 for the same amount of points, and you get 1 point per £2 spent (1point per £1 in M&S) so you would get more M&S vouchers using this CCard!! Its WWW.priorityclub.com I think!!

This is fine but the downside is that there is a monthly charge of £10 and you are committed for one year.

Obviously if you use the card for everything and clear your balance each month it is worthwhile but if you have a smaller spend it may not be worth the £10 monthly charge.

If you don't clear your balance each month, it could be better to go for a card which has 0% interest on purchases.

I currently use a 1% cashback card so wondering if moving to the M&S would be better for me..

Well you have to do some sums!

Say you spend £5K pa on your card each year. On your cashback one you would receive £50 cashback.

Assuming that £5K spend is split as £1K in M&S & £4 elsewhere, you would receive
1000 points on the M&S spend
2000 points on the other spend
giving you £30 M&S vouchers
if you have just the M&S ccard.

If you join the Premium Club, this would increase to
3000 points on the M&S spend
still 2000 points on the other spend
giving you £50 M&S vouchers

But you would be paying £10 per month.

Have to say, the card does also give travel insurance free which might be useful to you. Also they send drinks vouchers to the value of about £120 each year, which would cover your monthly charge if you would use them in M&S.

As you see, you really have to work out using your own expenditure, remembering that your current card allows you to use the cashback anywhere rather than just at M&S.

I don't think the Priority Club card that superflygal is taling about is anything to do with M&S.

M&S do have their Premium Club though. I joined about 6 months ago and am glad I did. See: http://money.marksandspencer.com/premium-club/overview/

For that £10 a month you don't only get triple &More points, you Family Annual Travel Insurance (that's a huge saving in itself if you take even a couple of holidays a year), and 12 x £2.50 hot drinks vouchers for use in the Cafe Revive per quarter (that's basically a "free" coffee each week). You also get other "Extra points" vouchers which means sometimes you are getting 4 or even 5 times the amount of points.

You also get other "free gift" vouchers throughout the year - in the Autumn I had a voucher worth £15 to spend on gloves or a scarf, at Xmas I got a £10 voucher to spend on a tie, cufflinks or jewellery, and on my birthday I got a voucher for Free Afternoon Tea for 2 in the Cafe Revive (usual cost over £10).

I personally think it's worth it, but then I am an M&S girl and really do feel I get my monies worth from the Premium Club.

Did anyone get extra points vouchers through with their reward vouchers this month?

I just got £25 in vouchers and no extra points ones at all:(
