Sparks Super Saturday: 5,000 customers to bag free shopping at Marks and Spencer

5,000 M&S customers in the UK and ROI will this Saturday get their shopping for free as the retailer launches a first ever Sparks Super Saturday event.  

This is pitched as a supersized version of M&S’ Sparks giveaway where every week a Sparks customer gets their shopping on the house.

Since M&S relaunched its customer reward scheme in 2020, it has given away £3.5 million in free shopping including one trip worth nearly £3.5k.   

To be in with a chance of winning, customers must scan their Sparks card when shopping at M&S in-store or log into their Sparks account when shopping online.

Those in-store will find out straight away and those online will be notified via email.  

M&S is encouraging customers who are not already a Sparks member to sign-up ahead of the weekend.

Kirsty Ward, Director at M&S Connect, says: “Since relaunching Sparks as a digital first loyalty scheme, we’ve doubled the number of members – rewarding them with personalised offers, special treats and thank yous.”

“And one of Sparks’ members most loved rewards is the opportunity to get their shopping for free so, for one day only, we’re supersizing it and giving 5,000 lucky customers the opportunity to get their shopping for free – simply by shopping and scanning their Sparks card in-store or online.”
