    Depends - you really need to use your card a lot to make it worthwhile.  We shop at M&S because the food is much better quality and we tend to spend less, because we buy what we want, not what the big supermarkets want us to buy.  Perks are extra points at M&S, £12 birthday voucher & £15 when you sign up (I think), free next day delivery on the website. The extra points soon add up for the quarterly vouchers.
    How many points do you need to get a vicuher? 
    100 = £1.00  Minimum £5 vouchers though.  Funnily enough I got mine through the post today, plus free hot drinks in the cafe and loads of extra points offers.

    No. As I said, it said I would hear within five working days about my application. 
    I consider myself to be a male feminist. Is that allowed?

    I suspect there is a bit of confusion here ?
    Aren't the points you get from using your M&S credit card a completely separate benefit from being a member of the Rewards Club, previously known as Premium Club ?
    Only the Rewards Club entitles the holder to the "free drinks" and a birthday treat voucher (£12 ?),  the £65 (?) goods vouchers, plus free next day delivery for online delivery.
    You don't have to sign up for RC membership to get the shopping points from using an M&S credit card.

    You get more points per spend in the club thing. You still get points without it but you get more in the club

    I have it and it's worth it for me as we have a M&S in our local mall that I visit a lot and use all the drinks vouchers, if we didn't have a local M&S it would be difficult to use them all so would not be worth it for the
     other vouchers and free delivery alone.
