    I didn't buy anything from the last mid-season sale, but still got a VIP invitation for the summer sale, and albeit a little late, one for the latest mid-season sale - my slot is for 10pm tonight. So despite what the small print says, chances are you will get a VIP invitation in the future.
  • my slots at 10pm but it wont let me in, the timer has gone back to 5 minutes, not impressed:mad:
  • My slot is at 10pm as well and cannot get in, just message saying sale is only available to a limited amount of numbers sale starts on Saturday.
    I will ring tomorrow and see what they say. Has anyone else managed to sign in for 10pm slot ?

    I had a 10pm slot and a bit of a problem logging in for it, but just tried a couple of times and got in. Bit disappointing how much stuff had sold out in earlier slot. Not the end of the world tho !
  • For those of you who are still trying to get into your slot, I have just phoned next who told me to log out of my account,open new tab type https://www.next.co.uk, sign into my account, once you have signed in click on vip sale on left hand side and it then takes you to the sale. Apparently they are having problems
  • my slot was 10pm also, struggled to log in, them when i did and was in sale part, nearly everything in my basket was out of stock. two items that werent were showing as full price. bit of a nightmare. emptied my basket of those items and left the site. have saved some money at least . hope others have more luck.

    I also had a 10pm slot - logged in fine and managed to get most of what i wanted - no problems for me so I must have been one of the lucky ones

    Thanks op for the heads up.
    My slot was for first thing which I got up early for - I can only echo what others have said the sale is rubbish - nothing in stock and loads of tat left over from the last sale. I am certainly not paying £3.99 to order something in-case I don't get another slot - like others have said it's there loss and I have saved money:) Roll on the Tu 25% sale :):)

    just to let you know if you dont use your vip slot you will not be eligible for any in the future,it might just be worth ordering something cheap to have the chance of future vip slots.

    I've not used past VIP slots when there's been nothing I wanted and have had one for the last two sales. I managed to get all the things I wanted except one (a very cute girls' rainmac) in my 6pm slot last night including three sets of curtains for my new house. So I am delighted :j

    It seems that if you usually pay off your account in full you're more likely to get a sales slot. I get my stuff delivered to my mum's place because I'm out of the UK most of the time and her next door but one neighbour is also a VIP sale shopper - she and my mum have become friends through taking in each other's parcels from the courier :rotfl:
    Organised Birthdays and Christmas: Spend So Far: £193.75; Saved from RRP £963.76
    Three gifts left to buy
  • I had a 7am slot and every single thing I added to my basket was sold out! Just glad that the slot didn't start any earlier, waste of time.
