  • Looking on the preview, I can't see any electricals. If there aren't any, I don't feel so bad now about not getting a VIP slot.

    It took me a long time to be able to log on. I could see the VIP link but when I clicked it I was taken back to the home page. I had to change my browser I changed it to google chrome and got through straight away.
  • Seems like most of us have been lucky. I have been lucky in the past and unlucky for the last couple of end of season sales. I was set to be disappointed again when I logged in and it said 'only select number of customers blah blah blah'. Then I got an email so I have my slot and I am very pleased. I know how disappointing it is not to get one.
    What is so frustrating when you don't get one is when they start offering VIP's a second slot, this is ridiculous and they should be offered to people who have not got one.

    hooray! I came up to check my emails and had left the next website up and after all these hours i got my slot at 7pm - fingers crossed it doesn't crash now lol.
    Just a question, do they change the order numbers of the items in the sale list or can i write down in advance the order no of the items i want and then put them in quickshops? Thanks x

    I was also wondering the same thing. I hope so as it would make things a lot easier.

    Just logged on to find I have a slot, and I UNchecked the box, in the hope I wouldn't get one as the temptation is to great, and I overspend! Oh well, I'll have one unhappy hubby lol!!

    They didn't put electricals on until the vip slots went live last time

    I always shop online with Next so (to save the trees) I asked them to stop sending me a directory and ever since then I have never had a VIP slot having always been offered one before. Next always have a bit on their website saying save paper - switch to paper, yet they descriminate against customers who choose to opt out of paper directories. Come on Next sort it out!!!!

    I've not had a directory for many years, I do have paper statements but don't shop online as I don't like to pay delivery charge so I have to go in store and I order on myt credit card and have delivery to store. I don't have a card for my Next account. I got a card giving me a VIP slot for the xmas sale, I don't thyink I'd used the account for a couple of years. I think it's really random who gets a slot. I don't think they actively discriminate against anyone, for 100 people in your circumstances some will get offered a slot year on year, some once in a blue moon and some never. It's just down to luck I think.
  • I've got my VIP slot and have spent the last half hour "browsing" sale listings, I need to stop looking before my wishlist gets too big.
