Did anyone else get the free Victoria Sponge this week from M&S at train stations?

yes I got mine on Thursday at Euston, nice old fashioned taste and we split it between 3 of us - yes the others need their own app

very nice but for £1.30 I think you make an entire Victoria sponge at home

Eek I thought it was just on Wednesday :eek:, I'm gutted as I could have got it yesterday, oh well saved a few calories :rotfl:

One thing I would like to know by the early users as each offer is added to the list please - I am a newbie to this app and still working things out - is how many minutes from the point of activation do you get to use each code.

for instance today in Thorntons I got the chocolate slab and I always press activate at the till and it just gave 5 mins :eek: If the till froze then it would have been an issue. I think it was 15 mins in caf! nero - always a very long queue in there. 2 hours in Pizza Express. Each time the time is different and it would be useful to know how long before expiry.

also if you save an item what does this actually mean - is there a list somewhere of your saved and unused offers?

thank you in advance

Hi mhoc :hello:

It's not always clear how many minutes you have until you actually activate the code. There was a 2 minute limit for Boots but the other day it had gone back to 5 minutes. Meanwhile with Caffe Nero it's always been 15 mins.

When saving an item it should be viewable when you open the app's menu and tap on activity.

Odd - the Boots meal deal's appearing on my phone (was there last night) but no sign of it on the wife's.

Is it appearing generally this morning yet?

It is on mine but I have really old phone which won't update the app. Have you looked under "Picks" I know when DD has trouble finding it it is often there?

Thanks. Still no sign of it anywhere on the wife's phone.

Oh dear I'm just back from picking mine up, does she have a search facility in the app?

Well there was a new girl on the self-service till and she didn't even make me press the use it now button so it shows the codes are not unique.

Thanks - it finally appeared a minute or so after 10. Odd, because mine was there to save last night.

Different versions of the app I guess - mine still shows the separate £1 deals, but my wife's are merged into one.

Mine appeared after 10 as well - I am on an iphone 5.

OH finally added the app to his phone - he is on a Samsung so it will be interesting to see the differences between the 2 types

does saving an offer actually do anything or is it just like bookmarking a webpage?
