    I had a £5 spend via the M&S Sparks card on my birthday but not sure if everyone gets it. Collected lots of the ones linked above ��

    We did have this one on the list, but many people told us they weren't getting it, and M&S were a bit cagey on details of who gets it - so you may have been lucky :)

    Vintage Inns email a voucher for you to get a bottle of bubbly when 4 or more people have a main meal in the week before or after your birthday.

    I was told in Hobbycraft that I'd get a £5 birthday voucher if I signed up for a loyalty card and gave them my D.O.B - I didn't receive one though.

    To my amusement, I got a chit for a free bar of top end own brand Morrisons chocolate.
    And left son gawking as he held the shopping & I marched the coupon to the shelf, picked my preferred bar & pattered back to the till & redeemed it.
    There's still one piece left - it is *nice*, so I am rationing it to make it last longer!

    Seems Body Shop, Superdrug, & IKEA, have all forgotten me & Playmobil have decided that I'm not a child. (Drat them.)

    You should check with them as I got one ....maybe you need to be registered for a period of time before it kicks in?
