    I can get in but I was sent an invite. Maybe for only people who got the invite. Once in their it does seem to direct you to the pages on the current site where there are no offers but can log back in and takes you to the right pages again if you get lost.

    I have always been told it depends on what you buy on a certain date and then they pick you at random. You could always ring up and see how you got on. Once on the list you seem to get an invite to every preview, VIP sale etc. There are 4 VIP sales a year and 2-3 previews. Not sure about free delivery codes. The preview includes free delivery anyway.

    I was starting to think I was in a parallel universe :rotfl:
    Illegitimi non carborundum.
  • I got an invite and I still cant get in !
  • I still can not get in.

    So have phoned up customer service. The customer service man spoke to the internet dept and they dont really know about this preview thing??????? or a preview page

    he said it was a catelog that should be sent out to you

    I am more confused than ever.

    does anyone else want to try and phone in???


    Hi!
    Ok, I just telephoned Customer Service (Internet ordering) and explained my
    difficulty at trying to access the Preview Site.
    She took my Account No. and said that it was not on the Preview Invitation List. She asked if I had been sent the Link directly from Next.
    I told her my SIL had forwarded it to me, as she wouldn't use it.
    She said that is the reason. You have to be personally invited.
    When I asked about the criteria for Personal Invites, she told me that it was
    purely random. Not linked to spend limit, or number of transactions etc...
    Purely random.
    I stated that this seemed unfair, as my SIL has only ordered once, and will 'waste' this invitation, whereas, I order frequently, and would have made full use of it, if I had been given one!!!
    She apologised, and said they obviously couldn't 'invite' ALL customer, so this was the fairest way to select.
    Nothing she could do. Computer generated, and no way to overide manually.
    I was 'invited' to the VIP sale at Xmas, but not to this, so it doesn't always work out that once you are 'in', you are 'in'!!!!

    Like to know if anyone else has sussed anything else!
    Fed up now!

    Sorry FL, I don't understand the above?
    How do you 'log back in and it takes you to the right pages again if you get lost'?
    Does this not take you to the same page with the current Spring stock?

    I'm confused! (it doesn't take much!)

    If you know someone who has a copy of the preview, do you think you could you enter the product codes in quick shop like we all did at Christmas?

    Has anyone tried this with any success yet?

    Sometimes you go to the basket, but press continue shopping.

    Second time I got through to main page.
