SPARKS card a waste of time

I much prefer the cards like Nectar and Clubcard which give you savings in store.

You can check how much has been donated to your charity in the Sparks section of your account.

Same here. However, a couple of months ago, my sister used hers when buying a small item of clothing. The cashier scanned her Sparks card and said 'Oo your shopping is free'. My sister was wishing she'd bought more stuff.

I stopped bothering with it ages ago. The offers didn’t interest me and although I do food shop in M&S sometimes, I’d never go specially to pick up a packet of biscuits or a bunch of grapes.

Lily do you check your Sparks account? At present I have money off various foods, last month it was money off clothing but you need to check and accept the offers.

I must admit that I have never known what the Sparks card does. How do I use it, please anyone?

Yes I feel I am doing them a favour as it gives them an insight into our buying habits. However, a lady at the checkout said it helps our nominated charity. If so why is this not indicated on our bill? Perhaps it is and I’ve missed something. Mourning the 20% off days of long, long ago😭

I've just checked mine and I've got a free pack of butter cookies or a carton of grapes on my next visit. I've saved a lot in the past with their offers.

Agreed.
