M&S is giving away free shopping to 1,000 customers every week in little-known Sparks card perk
MARKS and Spencer is giving away free shopping to 1,000 customers every week as part of a little-known Sparks card perk.
The freebie offer was introduced as part of a revamp of the Sparks scheme in August last year.
One shopper per branch is picked at random every week to get their shopping for free, as well as one online shopper per week.
M&S has around 7million Sparks members and over 1,000 shops, and the supermarket says customers are chosen for a free shop at random.
There is also no maximum amount you can get for free - meaning you could be buying just a sandwich, or a full shop.
However, you won’t know if you’re the lucky person until you reach the checkout and scan your Sparks card.
Congratulating her on her shop, one person commented: "This happened to an elderly couple in front of me a few weeks ago.
"They had a whole trolley full of shopping, so were delighted. It was lovely to see."
Another said: "Yep I got a free shop. I think it was £41, very nice."
A third commented: "I've never got it but I have got free bits from them. Well done!"
Other freebies that M&S shoppers could get include free Percy Pig sweets and tote bags.
M&S used to allow shoppers to collect points through its Sparks scheme, which could then be converted into vouchers to spend in stores.
But the supermarket started offering instant rewards instead of points, as of an update of its scheme in August 2020.
In more supermarket news, Morrisons is shaking up its loyalty scheme by axing its points bonus.
