    We do MS special events with 30% or 20% off, because OH
    is a retired MS employee and gets another 20% off ! plus any
    of my SPARKS rewards offers :)

    How long after opening the account and starting the switch did you receive the gift card?

    If I did the switch today, could I expect to receive the gift card at the start of December?

    I can't remember exactly, but it came within the timescale shown in the incentive T&Cs.

    Is there an expiry date with the card credit? Presumably OP could wait 12 months & sell the card with £220 credit?

    Seem to remember it's 2 years from last use, but I'm sure it'll be on their website/the paperwork that comes with the card.

    Why not just spend it on groceries/christmas gifts etc? Everyone has to eat. It helps that M&S is treating a few of the meals.

    I applied friday and am still waiting for a response, not the typical "you've been accepted" from the other current accounts I've opened in the last few months.

    Is this typical of m&s bank?
