It feels like shops are becoming 'secret society' clubs, where you need to be a 'member' for this that and the other.
I don't wish to have a stack of cards and memberships, collating my information and targeting goods and services at me.
Maybe I'm stubborn or just old fashioned :neutral_face: but I just want to do my shopping... you as a shop have goods I as a customer have money... lets swap.....simple as that.
They will eventually realize they are making a mistake; when those who don't become members start to feel isolated and unappreciated and start taking their custom elsewhere.
Just because I don't have one of your special cards in my purse does not mean my pounds are worth any less :smirk:
That's aimed at Amazon Prime too... as well as other store memberships :confused: grrrrrr

Wow, another M&S sale....the third in four months.....how exciting!

Anyone with access - any decent beauty items in the sale?

site is down.... please see the below message on their website

We’re a little busy

There are more people than usual shopping the site right now, but things should be back to normal soon.

Thanks for your patience – please do check back.

So you have to have spent an inordinate amount in there to get the discount? Is there any discount for the Base Sparks users?

Is it a normal m&s sale? ... I.e women 1million items, men's 12 items all xxxxxl size.

Who gives a carp? Do you really wanna look like a typical M&S customer anyway????

ooooooooo tut tut :neutral_face: ..........not a big fan of stereotyping.
To be honest I can't even remember the last time I bought clothes for myself from there...
it would probably have just been some 'smalls' anyway :laughing:.
Nowadays I just buy the occasional homewares item.... or I might just pop in there for some 'bits' :laughing:

Sorry, you're right. I should be more inclusive.

Jellybean in smalls... Now there is a vision

A vision of pure beauty in sure

Online or in store aswell?

This is the only time sparks has come in useful. I bought a few things. Heat

Won't be a patch on the BHS sale...

Is this only for sparks members or everyone?

This!
I can't see anything there for us. Hopefully they'll have another day with 20% off soon.

Thanks OP, for the head ups!

Loads of examples of people giving a carp, for example,

and

can't find it

Very good!!! I'm not sure if that second geezer is actually giving his carp though, looks more like he's saying 'Check out my carp bitchez!!!

I take my comment back. This M&S sale is pants

Worse than that...the pants that were 50% off yesterday I had in my basket are full price today!

I think it's either 'will you hurry up and take that photo' or a variation on the fixed grin while peeing in the swimming pool. :smiley:

Used to have largish carp - not as big as that - in my local park for nearly 100 years. Then the Liberals took over the Council and decided that the park would become a duck sanctuary and all the carp and other fish were moved to a new lake about 3 miles away. Cost a fortune to do.

Then, within a few months of this happening, some firm released a load of old cooking oil into that lake and all the fish died. Oh well, the Liberals were doing the right thing... for the ducks.

They use rubber tape measures to make their customers feel slimmer than they are so always buy in store and try them on, otherwise you will be sending it all back.
Had some good bargains last time and they have some chinos in the sale this time, well worth a look . Marks and sparks are doing it right , combining online advertising to get people through the door .
I dont understand why BHS did not copy its competitors and it is a scandal the dividends and loans taken out of that company ( and disappearing pension fund ) that could have easily paid for an online click and collect internet presence?
