Can the vouchers be used for items other than cakes? E.g. a scone or millionaire shortbread.

Also, as an aside, do you have to pay for the jam separately if buying a scone. The jam comes is rather expensive looking jars, hence my question.

As far as I can tell all cakes and bakery items are included but if u want jam or cream for your scone u have to pay for that. But it can depend on each store policy. Some are more generous than others. Best just to ask when u in the queue. Before you get to the till

Our JL does scones with jam and cream already on which I've had previously.

Mine too, and they're massive.

Unusually, I made a large purchase at JL the other day - around the £500 mark - and commented to the guy making the sale that using the My John Lewis card was more likely to reduce the chances of the free cake/coffee vouchers than increase it.

Interestingly, he agreed. So maybe there is a system - and maybe the Partners are well aware of it!

Just received 2 vouchers today - drink & cake for 7-31 January & £5 voucher to be sent if I spend £50 in store or online. First cake & tea voucher for me for months.
Also note to check contact preferences on website to allow them to send updates, treats and rewards.

I stopped getting the emails, even though my preferences showed I was set up to receive them. I spent several weeks emailing and finally ringing them and got the emails coming through again for about a week. Now they have stopped again. I only know because DH is still getting the emails two or three times a week. I haven't received any vouchers in the last round either, or the one before.

One of the emails I received from them stated I hadn't purchased anything since 2014, when my account details clearly showed the last time I bought something was October 2015. So they can't even get that right. The tone of the email was a bit snooty too.

I feel like giving up now. It's not just about a free cup of coffee, it's about feeling appreciated as a customer and I certainly don't feel that any more.

Has anyone picked up the "free" Christmas cracker instead of the hot drink and cake, which is shown on our latest voucher for December.


I fancy getting the cracker for a change ,but OH wants to stay with the hot drink.


Is the cracker worth trying?

Just received one new JL tea and cake voucher valid 29 Apr - 27 May. Also a voucher for £5 gift voucher on £50 spend. All three members of my household received the same voucher. As usual no loyalty, I purchased several items at JL before Christmas whereas other family members didn't.

Chatting about that with a John Lewis partner recently - his advice was that using the card actually reduced the chances of receiving a voucher.

Odd company, John Lewis, sometimes. The wife wanted various small haberdashery items which weren't in stock too. £2 'delivery' charge just to reserve them for collection when they come back into stock. How daft is that?

Result - items purchased on eBay, and another customer lost to John Lewis.
