Buy from Next without an account?

I do have an account with Next, but it is now paid off and I don't want to use it again.

I just went on their website to try and buy myself some work shoes but the only payment option seems to be to sign in and pay on your account.

Has anyone found a way you can order from their website and pay with a debit card?

All other clothes stores you can pay with a bank card surely Next cant force people to have a credit account?

I've looked in my local branch and they don't have the shoes there or I would have purchased in store

    Thank you!

    I'll try that with my work email as my personal email address is linked to the credit account

    Just tried doing the Express checkout but when I put in my home address it said you already have any account and wouldn't let me pay on a card.
    Only option was using my account or a gift card.

    Maybe I'll have to just close my account with them

    I would close the account - they are a pain as they keep increasing your credit limit and you have to then ask for it to be reduced again. No real benefit these days to having an account

    Close the account with them. As you say it is probably because you have a linked account with your email. I have bought online from Next using a credit or debit card. No way would they only sell to people with Next accounts. Or use the Next account and set up a direct debit to pay in full monthly so you do not keep a balance on there. That is what I do with my Debenhams account which I like for the 15% discount in the restaurant.

    Thank you, spoke to them this morning and closed the account :j
  • Just be careful using your work email account for anything personal. It is expressly forbidden in my current job and in my previous post we were warned against it in the strongest terms.

    Close the account - if you don't want to use it again there is no benefit to retaining it, is there?

    Edit - just seen that you have - good work!
