Today is the first day of Sparks 12 days of Christmas free gifts. If you have the app on your phone check to see what you have been gifted.
I have free handcream,my friend had a bottle of snow globe gin.Perhaps I will be given that tomorrow !

I asked a few days ago in store if there was an imminent 20% discount off clothing. There is usually one in Dec and I use it for my grandchildren’s Christmas gifts. I was told there wouldn’t be one announced this month and any discounts will be offered via the Sparks card.

I held off from completing my online Christmas shopping purchases in the hope I might open a door to a 20% clothing discount. Not only did I not find a discount but when I returned to my online basket to proceed without it 2 of the hoodies had been removed and are now out of stock 😠

I also got the Sparks days out offer, I’m not going to use it either.

Same here, Grannynannywanny. I’ve deleted it, as I’m not interested in these marketing ploys to sign up with other companies. I think the whole thing has been rather a waste of time.

I got that too. It is a marketing ploy for a different company. I googled what 'days out' they had to offer and there were none of interest. Apart from anything else they were just discounts not free days out.
Nice idea M&S but just irritating in the end.

Thank you for the thread anyway Jaffacake2. It’s been interesting comparing what was behind all our doors. I think I need to get out more 😆

My Golden Reward was revealed today because I opened all 12 doors. It says free Sparks Day Out access for savings on cinema, meals out and experiences. It’s asking me to register for it with name, address, email address etc. I’m a bit hesitant to proceed as M&S already have my personal details. So, I’m suspecting it’s a marketing ploy and my details will be passed on to other companies who’ll pester me to buy their “experiences “

Sorry, I'm just the Grinch who stole Christmas 😕

When I started this thread I thought we would all be sharing tales of hidden gifts !! I liked my handcream and used the discounts for granddaughters Christmas party dress. Maybe next year will be better !

I got the hand cream too. I tried them all before I took one as some were a bit sweet smelling. Quite like it, it feels a bit greasy when I put it on but my hands are nice and soft in the morning which I suppose is all I can really ask of it.

Callistemon21 Tue 13-Dec-22 19:50:54

Oh no! I didn't even get hand cream.

Dottydots Tue 13-Dec-22 18:18:27

Just a tube of hand cream for me. Used it twice but I didn't like the strong smell I got from it, so I binned it. A lot of hype from M&S all for nothing.

Because I opened all my 12 days of Christmas rewards today I got a special Golden Reward. 30% of the Christmas decorations they now can’t sell!!!!

Rosiecat Tue 13-Dec-22 17:47:50

Absolute rubbish. The only free gift I could have collected was the Percy Pig tree ornament and that was out of stock. Not impressed with the discount offers either

grannydarkhair Tue 13-Dec-22 17:42:46

I enjoyed my chocolate sprouts, but won’t be making use of any of my other offers which were all discounts. Very disappointing overall.

Shinamae Tue 13-Dec-22 12:21:54

Absolute waste of time and very, very misleading. A definite bah humbug!!

Katyj Mon 12-Dec-22 08:29:30

20% of nightwear 🙄 The first day was the best one for me a free bag of Percy pigs 🤣

FannyCornforth Mon 12-Dec-22 07:53:25

1970’s bed jacket chic?

FannyCornforth Mon 12-Dec-22 07:44:54

I don’t ‘get’ the Nobody’s Child stuff at all

Bridie22 Mon 12-Dec-22 07:25:48

20% of nobodys child wear...not for me !! Very disappointing..one hand cream and the rest just money off items, none suitable for my use.

FannyCornforth Mon 12-Dec-22 06:23:22

20% off knitwear! Yay! One that I’ll actually use.
But, oh no, the cardigans that I like are sold out in my size sad

Grannynannywanny Mon 12-Dec-22 00:27:55

Just opened my final door. 20% off ladies bags. Another one I won’t be using.

Nannagarra Sun 11-Dec-22 23:41:10

Another here who’s not been impressed.

Well I’ve not been impressed so far. I won’t be rushing off to my nearest M & S to redeem any of their offerings.

Ditto!! 🤨

Me neither!!

Not that they've offered me anything at all yet.
