    2011 booked on 20th (Tuesday) for 22nd (Thursday)
    2012 booked on 19th (Wednesday) for 22nd (Saturday)

    I don't think I had the first slots either of the last two years, so expect the invites to start being sent around this time next week.
  • I have just booked my slot for Sunday 22nd.
  • Qualifying criteria for Next VIP sale invitations which I found. Thought it might be useful.
    VIP SALE Selection Criteria - Please Read Carefully...

    To be selected for an invitation you must:

    1. Have a Next flexible credit account with at least £250 credit available.

    2. Have placed and kept an order from the Next Directory this season.

    3. Have an up to date email address and be registered to receive sale and promotional emails. (You can amend or update your e-mail address when you sign into your account online.)

    4. Have received a current season copy of the Next Directory.

    5. Have returned less than two thirds of the items you’ve ordered.
  • Yes didn't receive an invite due to my returns being high. Find this disgusting when I am a good next customer. Plus there local store doesn't provide a full range. Get the impression your can't try before you buy!

    Not impressed!!
  • I didn't receive an invitation to this Next VIP sale, so I wanted to find out why...

    I meet all the criteria and have received a VIP invitation for each sale for the last couple of years - I always use my VIP slot and return very little.

    So I phoned Next to complain and got passed around to each department and getting fobbed off each time with 'I'm not sure why you haven't received an invitation but so what' to 'well you've changed address recently so that must be why' (all my details are up to date though).

    Well, I finally got to speak to a supervisor, she said sorry but all the excuses you were told today aren't true, basically it is pot luck and they can't offer all the customers that qualify for a VIP slot. I told her that I no longer felt a valued or important customer and I have spent more than ever in the last 12 months with Next and now I'm no longer seen as important!

    I suggested that they put a message on the VIP conditions website, stating that it is random and they can't give all the customers that qualify a slot. I also suggested that they rename the VIP sale to random customer selector sale, so not to alienate they loyal customers.
