    Thanks for the heads up I too have this offer so have ordered the vest today for store collection so completely free. Wonder if it has anything to do with me buying some more gym clothes the other week as to why this offer has appeared.

    I spent almost £300 in M&S today. I suppose I should have got a Sparks card?

    I know you can add your points later if you have one. Is it still possible to get a card and add the points? (I can't get one today, but could get one tomorrow.)

    To be honest why bother.

    You get nothing back in cash. All the card does is allow you to get so much off but you have to shop alot to make it worth while.

    The only benefit from the sparks card that I have ever had is the offers that can be loaded to your card.

    eg £5 off £25 spend 20% off eggs etc. free loaf of bread etc.

    They last for a limited time and vary a lot.

    You could have got 10% off. A new sparks activation usually gives 10% off food, clothing & homeware.

    Edit - I just checked mine (new card) and it has 10% off - (you chose two offers)
    Food and flowers.
    Lingerie.
    Womenswear.
    Menswear.
    Beauty.
    Kidswear.

    Also has free cream tea for 2, free roses if I buy champagne and bogof hot drink.

    I’ve been browsing the M&S site, chose two tops to get my SPARKS 20% discount. When I went to pay even though I hadn’t spent the usual £50 I had the option to have free delivery. No code needed so please try this.

    I really don't get the Sparks system. I have 55,000 points and don't seem to have a 20% off code. It's now got to the point that I won't buy anything till I get one, which I know I will eventually. So, what is gained by them not giving everyone the codes? Who would ever buy at full price when they know a voucher will come along soon?
