I just went to www.next.co.uk/vipsale and logged into my account as usual. All the sale items come up there. Seems they've fixed the loop hole this year0 -
This whole vip thing is unfair. Next if you are reading this, please get a better online ordering system in place so we can all order together on one set time and day.... (but don't ask M&S how to do this:rolleyes: )
I did manage to get a slot after phoning up. It's tomorrow night and who knows what will be left but i'm grateful. The advisor told me she would have to 'unlock' my account. Therefore it seems that the vip's have unlocked accounts that allows them access to the sale. No code or url is going to help you unlock your account as far as I can see. The G50 code is probably the sale code but it will only become accessible to all on the main sale day, 27th December.
The reason why Next has allowed some of us to get slots is because they KNOW it's an unfair system but they have to draw the line somewhere so that's probably why some advisors won't be giving slots out.
I can't believe i'm sat here writing about Next - I need to get out more !:rotfl:0 -
i know this must be frustrating but to be fair it's not like vips are really any different to non vips. everyone should be allowed to order without this silly vip bussiness.
I agree! I also seem to recall this poster blagging a slot in the summer sale? (correct me if i'm wrong). We all want some half price goods, it's no good getting all superior about it!
Good luck to everyone, hope you get at least some of what you want. If not, life goes on!0 -

I managed to log in at 6.50 for a 7 - 7.30pm slot and have just got 16 out of my 21 items. Not bad0

Well I used Quickshop so hope it works, should do, didn't read anywhere that you couldn't use it and it had the VIP banner on it. Think I spent about £350 but probably won't keep it all. Eek.0

I ordered in the 6pm slot and all the coats that I wanted for my 6 yr old were out of stock already! Still letting me in as we speak so log on and see if you can get in early or if you are past your slot try again!0

This does make sense about the account being locked, they had to find a way around us lot somehow. I am going to give up now lol. However I have always managed to order during the last few sales thanks to you guys, so I am grateful for that. :T0 -
