Some of the other benefits of the Sparks card
- Bi weekly personalised offers - hopefully there will be a few good ones in the run up to Christmas
- You may qualify for a birthday treat

I received mine in the post and I have just registered it but my 10% off food and flowers is only valid for 10 days. I had another choice which was free roses if you buy champagne.
Having just re read the info in the first post the offers are bi-weekly so they will vary every two weeks.

Also have the free Roses with champagne - the terms state the champagne has to be £20 but i'm betting that the offer will work on any priced 70cl champagne

If you have a nectar card - download the nectar app and has a number of personalised points offers. On mine I had two Homebase points offers totalling 1250 points - just make sure you load to card before you visit/shop at Homebase. States that it takes up to 28 days for points to come through but my points came through in less than a week.
Oh thanks! And by spending money at homebase u got nectar points to use at sainsburys in November? (Sorry I'm new to this!)

You can't use any other discount with this, I had a £5 voucher tied to my M&S card but could only use one or the other not voucher and sparkle discount. If I had known I would have used the fiver off the thirty five which for me is a better deal off all food even the dine in offer. Hey ho! looks like going back Monday, no sparkle this time though, plain old money off!

Just to clarify then - the 13 day 10% offer doesnt begin until you register it?
I'm considering getting one now and then waiting until December to kick off the discounts as I'm likely going to be nipping in a lot more then

I registered on Friday and had 12 days to use the 10% off.
Looks like the end date is the 4th November then (i.e. valid for 2 weeks from the actual launch of the Sparks card).

I was given a Sparkle card in M&S in Cardiff Railway Station about a month ago! Read the detail and it indicated that points would be awarded for gift card top ups but not for purchases using a gift card. No 10% off mentioned then and we get 7% off through a work discount scheme. My reading of the small print made me believe I wouldn't get any benefits when using a gift card alongside a Sparkle card. But this post shows differently, which is mega for me as that means a whopping discount at times like this! Thank you for posting.

I can't see any reference to that on the website? Would be good as I don't drink wine so rarely get this.

I got the £15 M&S gift card at Homebase - paid with amex card to get the 1.25% cashback and managed to stack two nectar homebase app offers giving me 1250 points - worth £12.50 in the November double up :smiley:

Wine as gifts. Chickens in the freezer. Sides to neighbours. And millionaire shortbreads in my belly.

What's the beer deal?

24 Oct 151#18
Instead of the free wine with the main, side and dessert you can choose 2 bottles of beer (500ml each)
I went for Mosaic Pale Ale :smiley:

Ta OP.
Best to grab a card instore first, then register on your phone. Took me 5 minutes and managed to activate the 10% offer immediately. Went back instore and bought 8 meal deals with 10% off.
Don't ask. :confused:
How big was your chicken?
