    No VIP slot yet again for me. I overspend with them every month so screw 'em. Time to close the account. I never get a slot and can order on OH's account without going overboard because he's go mental. It will save me a fortune.
  • Well i've spent all day refreshing my next account and got nothing then i tried logging on via inprivate browsing and it brought up a vip slot straight away woohoo!!!!!

    I get the catalogue but didnt get a slot, 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.

    hubby is pleased as I wont be spending a small fortune this time lol

    I have both the flex account and the books and have no slot, Im really angry :mad::mad: I cant get online on Sat as Im away first thing in the morning.:mad::mad: Called them up and got nowhere.
    Love your Mum, you'll never get another one when she's gone.

    This is really strange - i've just done the same, and have a timeslot! it says "Time Slot Confirmed - Wed, 7pm - 11pm", however I never even picked this???? confused! not complaining about it of course, just strange as I never had a VIP just an hour ago, and now I do? and this was after phoning CS and them saying there was nothing that could be done.

    No VIP slot for me. Bit disappointed as I was hoping to get some clothes for our daughter and number 2 baby and as I am 8 months pregnant there is no way I am braving the shops on Saturday :rotfl:

    Looks like it will save me some money then!

    Btw, I also fulfill all their criteria to get a slot and have had one in the past except I no longer get a paper copy of the Directory.

    What I don't understand though is why Allocate so many slots 7-11 I think it's asking for trouble, unless they know the number of hits the server can tale before crashing and then using this number of slots for 7-11 hoping that some won't log on till after 7 but even if by a slim chance every slot holder did log in at 7 then the server will handle it. I still think hour slots are more sensible

    I've got a VIP slot. Just noticed that Topcashback offer 1% on purchases. Do you think cashback is payable during the VIP slot by clicking through to My Account and VIP slot from there? I'm looking to spend around over £1000 so 1% would be a nice bonus.

    Has anybody else got cashback this way with Next? Is it straightforward?
