    boo hoo - no slot for me :-( Oh well, kids have loads of clothes so at least I will save some money (I never usually bother with the leftovers when the proper sale starts!)

    well done to all of you who got one - happy shopping

    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.

    If you look at Next's criteria for VIP's it specifies that you must have recieved a copy of the directory. I always recieved an invite without fail before asked them to stop sending a copy and then suddenly the stopped. I think you have been lucky

    this is what I was told

    Our VIP sale service is only available to a limited number of customers. Priority has been given to our Flexible Account Customers who have a Next Directory however due to our huge customer base not every customer that meets the criteria will be invited to place an order in the VIP sale.

    The selection criteria is used to narrow down the number of customers who will then be randomly invited to have a VIP sale appointment.

    oh well I will save a small fortune so hubby will be pleased

  • my email has just come through now but i booked my slot earlier on by just logging into my account. The emails always come through slowly. I have managed a slot this time but didnt get one in the last sale, and i have done nothing different from usual.

    I've got an account but no slot.

    I'd guess that the people who get the invites are those that actually get the catalogue.

    I refuse to pay £4 anything up to 10 times a year or whatever it is, just for a catalogue, so have asked them not to send them to me and I shop online instead. I guess this is what it means.
