M&S Shareholder Vouchers

Fairwinds

Are there any M&S shareholders out there?

I got some vouchers yesterday but they are in Euros and the Ts & Cs say for use in Rep of Ireland.

Anyone else had this ( from non Rep of Ireland)

I have a few shares in M&S.

But no shareholder vouchers in either €Euro or £Sterling! I get dividends in scrip ........ so it may take a few days longer. But there is one due mid-Jan ............ so I'll book the ferry now!

My annual free cup of coffee courtesy of the Cafe Revive £3.50 voucher could prove a bit expensive? I suspect (if you've read the thread about the chaos with their Statements) they've sub contracted the issue to Santander!

I received mine this morning in good old pounds sterling. Have you (or your broker if holding is in a nominee account) done something to make M&S think you are in the Irish Republic?

Fairwinds

Contacted them todayand advised that a mistake has been made with some of the vouchers that they are aware off.

They are now going to send me the correct vouchers.

Shame .......... the wife was looking forward to an M&S awayday on the ferry!

So the Irish Euro is different from, say, the French one?

Your new ones will be in £Sterling. T&C will say only redeemable in England!

I wonder if there's a noun that has never been 'verbed'?

Not sure what your point is??

Simply that your vouchers are in Euros, but only redeemable in a specific part of Europe.

I was just light-heartedly suggesting that those issued in £Sterling might also be limited to a small part of UK - for example England. Not "Scotland" where you live.

Down here we have a rather warped sense of humour.

Yes, I thought it was £3.50 last year and maybe even the year before that. Now (in 2012) it's gone down to £2.50. How mean can they get? I'm not sure it will even fund a single cup of coffee at M&S prices.
