    My 500 reward points for my initial spend are showing in my account. Just waiting on the first quarter to come along.

    Still awaiting the first person to confirm they've received their £30 voucher. Getting quite impatient......

    I'm also using the card for stoozing with a £4k limit so well worth getting.

    I think the original MSE article encouraging people to apply said that the vouchers will be sent out by the end of July, so no need to panic yet, and as I think the closing date was the end of June, they will probably do them all together in mid/late July.

    Same here, quite pleased :j. I'm guessing everyone will receive it at a similar time.

    I received a £5 (500 pints) voucher with the welcome pack.
    Is this in addition to the £30 + £5 when using the card for the first time at M&S?

    The £5 is a points voucher that is added to your account and sent out as rewards 4 times a year. http://bank.marksandspencer.com/banking/credit-card/overview/?WT.ac=MASM_HPL_CC#further-details

    "Your points are converted into M&S reward vouchers four times a year and posted to your door – so you can use them to treat yourself or your family in M&S."

    My chronology:-

    04-05-16 applied and accepted.
    07-05-16 received agreement, signed it and returned.
    18-05-16, received card, pin and £5 points voucher, activated card over phone.
    20-05-16, used card in local supermarket.
    06-06-16, used card in M&S and gave points voucher, this is showing on my online statement 07-06-16.
    10-06-16, £30 voucher arrived via email, to be used by 31st August 2016.

    TY 'derrrik' for your reply and the link.
    Is the £5 points voucher a one off?
    Or will it be sent 4 times a year?

    Another issue:
    I used M&S Credit card for the first time at M&S to buy some vests for £12.55.
    Did not use the £5 points voucher.
    M&S points total shown at the website is only 12
    I was hoping to see 500 M&S points worth £5
    Something gone wrong somewhere?!

    It is a one off, all the info is in the link.


    You will not see the points until you use the voucher, it has a use by date, so use it pretty quickly, you should then see it on you online statement within a day.

    As you have used the card at M&S your £30 voucher should arrive in your inbox soon.

    "We give you one point for every £1 you spend in M&S and one point for every £5 you spend elsewhere."

    I received £5 worth 500 M&S points voucher with the card.
    Don't we also get, another 500 M&S points when we use the card for the first time?
    Quote MSE,
    "Plus the first time you use the card to buy most things at M&S (including food), you get 500 M&S points worth £5. So use the card to buy a Tesco banana and you're £30 up - use it to buy an M&S banana and it's £35."
