Good Afternoon all Does anyone know if M & S still give a £5 gift voucher on ones birthday please. Mhoc ?

I didn't - well not on my actual birthday - but then again I can't remember whether I gave them the 'right' one...

I can confirm that often the clothing i buy to get a petrol coupon turns out not to fit?! The coupon shows up as a 1p coupon and I have never had CS spot or comment on it

That is how it is at the moment but that could, and probably will, change when they upgrade the tills to recognise full details of the transaction.

Nectar are offering 1000 pts on east coast bookings again. Looks like my kids will be going on another unaccompanied journey :rotfl:

2 concurrent offers running ATM. Do you ever have problems getting the bonus points automatically added? I'm finding I need to go via Twitter a lot recently.
Currently have 3 x 1000 due in Nov/Dec

Marks premier club give you a voucher for an afternoon tea - well its a downgraded version of what it was but still a nice treat

To be in it you now have to have a Premium account - I think its one of those undiscovered treasures

https://bank.marksandspencer.com/current-accounts/premium-current-account/

Ideal for anyone doing their first bank switch but you have to have 2 direct debits already set up before you do the switch eg marks credit card or an annual one for a magazine subscription.

It also gives you access to a regular saver account which gives you 5% interest - best savings rate.

OK, its £10 a month but if you use the Marks caf! a couple of times a month you save that much straight away. The page has not been updated yet but 4 times a year you get a booklet each with 12 vouchers for a hot drink in the caf! worth £2.70 each (used to be £2.65 but the new vouchers just arrived are worth £2.70) so that's £129.60.
We tend to get medium luxury hot chocolate with cream and marshmallows which were £2.70, probably gone up now - and just pay the extra 10p. If you get a cheaper drink eg normal tea you don't get any change and you cant use the difference towards food.

They also send you the afternoon tea voucher in your birthday month worth £12 ??? unless its gone up or altered to just a cream tea.

And about 5 times a year they send out two £10 vouchers which you can use against any clothing, lingerie or beauty item etc.
Plus the 20% off weekend vouchers and extra points vouchers inbetween so most months there is a mailing of some sort.

Also there is a loyalty points collecting scheme so you get vouchers for those as well.

My birthday is always the same - its the year that is variable - it can vary by as much as 2 decades depending on who wants to know.

You were looking in the wrong place.

Not much help to you now I know but they are in the seasonal aisle next to the fruit and veg along with the christmas chocs.

Still had 4 yellow and 1 white set when I went last night

Double drat! I looked in lots of places and found different gift sets all over the place but no B&H! Obviously didn't look properly. I'm destined not to get any.:)

Found a PS4 game for 44.99 at Sains where CEX are doing 35 cash - so £4.99 at Sains plus £20 of nectar points gives £35 - OK but normally there are better. Officially it is only one double up per category but this has always been the rule and in the past you could get as many as you wanted as long as you got a different customer service person each time.

In my experience you can double up more than once per category BUT have to use them on separate transactions. :cool:

Now I am wondering if I go to Marks and buy

2 meal deals
3 for £10 meat
total £30

use my Marks sparks card which will take £5 off
use the androd pay card code - will that also take another £3 off

would this work?
Has anyone tried it?

I've got to collect a Marks order in the morning if no one else has been between now and then.

The meal deal is not very exciting this week but there was a glitching wine someone mentioned - have to venture to the darkside to see which one and if it still works ...

Sadly I haven't got the food offer.

It did work on the deals though.
