Did you get an email or was it via your account?

Check your account as I did earlier. Still not received an email so don't wait.

Some emails are being sent out shortly, I have been a next loyal customer for the last 13 years and so far have no invite, does bother me as my friend who opened one last month got one and has never ordered a thing from them, it doesnt go on ordering balances or anything it clearly is randomly generated..but still gets my goat, lol

This is apparently how it's decided;

but I meet all the criteria and haven't had one this time, so far anyway! I even went back through all of the statements this year to check I hadn't returned over 2/3!

Not heard anyone mention for a while that they have got a slot. Maybe this is the next batch coming. Fingers crossed.

Yes but if the majority meet it how do they not give them out!!

Will have to sit patiently and wait for them to press the release button for my email /account link :cool:

I'm not sure this is true!

I recieed a summer slot after buying nothing, yet havn't recieved a slot this time despite spending alot, meeting all that criteria!

There are people on the facebook page for next who have also said the same thing, one person who just opened an account this past month, bought nothing, yet got a slot!

The only thing that makes me a bit cross, is the secretive nature, and odd criteria rules that Next play!

got an email and booked through the link. i think the next critieria for the invites is nothing like what their website states. i only buy a few items outside of the sale and never keep everything from the sale either. i think its just pot luck

well they should give us the chance to have one if we are loyal customers who always spend with them no just people who buy one thing here and there
honestly if i dont get one i will be getting rid of my card ( i dont care if people say i am selfish) i am just stating a fact

I don't think you are selfish. I think the slots should be for people who shop lots online and meet their supposed criteria too. It should be a reward for loyal customers not some random choice. I'm skint anyway so shall be paying off the Boden sale items on my credit card instead of spending more as I tend to order more as it's a bargain so I just have to have it. Sod them. Of course if I had a slot I'd be happy - it's feeling rejected and unappreciated that annoys me. I won't be going to store either as with three children - including a toddler and a very grumpy, crowd hating autistic son it's just not possible.
