Loyalty & rewards

Sparks offers will be back soon.

Sparks is our customer reward scheme. Sparks gives you the chance to receive offers tailored to you, little treats and thank yous, and we'll make a donation to your chosen Sparks charity every time you shop.

To join Sparks download the M&S app to your device or visit www.marksandspencer.com/sparks. You can use Sparks straight from your device when using the M&S app.

Sparks does not operate in our BP or Applegreen petrol station locations or any of our stores outside the UK and ROI. Sparks cannot be used on the Ocado website. You can use Sparks when shopping on the M&S website, the M&S app, or in store.

To use your colleague discount online, you need to have a M&S.com account. If you don’t already have an account, you can create one here.

If you have an account and are using your colleague discount for the first time, you can register your Sparks account here. Once registered, your colleague discount card will be added to your M&S.com account and your discount will automatically apply at the checkout.

If you have a colleague discount card registered to your account and are looking to amend or remove it, please follow the below steps:

1. Log in to your M&S.com account
2. Select “Your Account” then “Go to your account”
3. Select “About You” under the “your details” section
4. At the bottom of the page you can amend/remove your colleague discount.
5. Select save to update your details.

For Colleague queries please access My HR for guidance or raise a Ask HR Service Request. If you are a retired colleague and have any queries please contact RewardTeam@marksandspencer.com

You won’t always have offers in your Sparks account, but keep checking back as new ones will appear. We’ll let you know when new offers are available by sending you emails and/or messages through the M&S app, check your marketing preferences in your M&S account to choose how you would like to hear from us.

Customers who have updated their profile with their date of birth will receive a birthday treat in their Sparks account at the start of their birthday month. If you’d like to share this information with us, you can do so by updating the personal details section under profile in your M&S account or visit marksandspencer.com/birthday.

Please note it can take time to update our records, so if you register your date of birth within 35 days of your birthday you may not receive a birthday treat until the following year. All birthday treats are subject to availability.

You will find all your treats in your Sparks account. Make sure you also opt in to receive Sparks marketing messages to get the most out of Sparks, as we’ll send you an email and /or a message via the M&S app every time a new treat arrives. Check your marketing preferences in your M&S account to choose how you would like to hear from us.

Any clothing item can be exchanged for a different size of the same product and, in line with your statutory rights, any faulty item will be replaced.

Unfortunately, it's not possible to add your recent purchase to your sparks account as this transaction would have already gone through.

Eligibility

In order to be eligible for Sparks, you must be a UK resident for the entire period for which you are a Sparks customer and unless you are an M&S employee, you must be aged 18 years or over. No corporate or business use or participation. Colleagues may be excluded from any aspect of the reward scheme at any time at our discretion. See individual Benefit terms and conditions for more information and qualification. Eligibility will be revoked and we may withhold Benefits if your account is terminated.

Activation and Registration

Your account is not transferable once activated. Activate and register your Sparks account at marksandspencer.com/sparks with your Sparks number and email address to receive your Benefits. You will need to provide a valid mobile or landline number and postal address. Without a valid email address, you will not receive all the regular Benefits associated with Sparks. It is your responsibility to ensure that all your personal details are kept up to date and M&S will not be responsible for any lost, delayed or undeliverable communications if you do not do so.

Rewards and Benefits of Sparks

As a Sparks customer you will have access to a variety of Benefits, you just need to use your Sparks when you shop either online or in store (excluding BP Connect, Applegreen and Channel Island stores). Each Benefit is free to participate in. You will receive offers and promotions personalised to you. By using Sparks, you will also be eligible to receive a variety of Benefits such as: (i) receive the value of your shopping for free at the checkout for all transactions which do not include: a) alcohol in Scotland and Wales; b) gift cards; or c) Pay with Me* ("Qualifying Transactions"); and (ii) product giveaways (such as product gifts from our in-store bakery and apothecary). We will also reward our most loyal customers with "little treats" as a thank you. Recipients of these Benefits are selected at random from all eligible Sparks customers. Inclusions and exclusions will apply and are subject to change. Details of the current Benefits can be found here and this will be updated from time to time.

*Pay With Me is a convenient and optional way to pay for your shop in selected participating stores where an M&S colleague can process the payment for your shop on a handheld device away from a fixed till point

Benefits may change from time to time, they are subject to availability and if necessary, may be substituted by M&S. Product giveaways are redeemable in store only and may be time limited. We reserve the right to withhold benefits due to eligibility. Colleague Discount card holders shall not be entitled to receive the e-gift card. Benefits are non-exchangeable, non-transferable and no cash alternative is offered. M&S reserves the right at any time in its sole discretion to cancel, void, suspend, modify or supersede any of the benefits at any time if it believes that the draw to select a benefit recipient is not capable, or is likely not to be capable, of being conducted fairly or as specified within these terms and conditions due to events beyond its control (including, without limitation, a virus, a computer bug, or other technical issue or unauthorised human intervention or any other cause beyond the reasonable control of M&S that could corrupt or affect the administration, security, impartiality or normal course of the draw). Benefits are awarded randomly by an algorithm to a prescribed average and therefore the frequency with which each benefit is awarded may vary temporarily from the value stated, or we may change the frequency from time to time where that change is to your benefit. For the avoidance of doubt, the promoter of the benefits is M&S, of Waterside House, 35 North Wharf Road, London, W2 1NW.

M&S shall have no liability for any delay and/or failure to perform any obligation to the intended recipient of any benefit or other entrants, including those that is caused by: (a) technical problems of any kind which may limit or prevent any person’s participation in any draw for a benefit or the awarding of any benefit; (b) any loss or damage arising from or in connection with the allocation of a benefit; (c) any act or omission of any third party; or (d) any other events beyond M&S’ control that may cause the allocation or awarding of the benefits to be disrupted or corrupted. Nothing in these terms and conditions shall limit in any way M&S’ liability for death or personal injury caused by its negligence.

Scan and Shop

Sparks will enable you to use M&S Scan & Shop devices (where available) in store. If you use this service, you agree to the following:

You agree to use Scan and Shop with reasonable care, and not to cause damage to the Scan and Shop handsets. You agree that you will scan all items selected by you before putting them into your shopping basket. On occasion, some items may not be recognised by the handset and you agree to draw these items to the cashiers’ attention so that they can be scanned and charged at the end of your shop.

Loose items, such as fruit and vegetables, should be weighed using the scales provided in store. You will be asked to place your items on the scale and to search for the correct item on the screen. The printed barcode should then be attached to the items and scanned using the handset. Items containing a security tag should be scanned and placed to one side in your basket or trolley. An M&S colleague will remove the security tag at checkout. Some items will not display a barcode due to lack of space and so you will need to scan the shelf edge ticket. Please look out for the tickets which will make clear which items this applies to. We operate a Challenge 25 policy and baskets containing age restricted items will require approval at the checkout by an M&S colleague.

You agree that your shopping may be rescanned at random intervals or at any time required by M&S. A rescan does not imply any wrongdoing on your part. If there is a difference between your scan and the rescan, the rescan will apply. M&S reserves the right to refer the matter to the police when it is considered that misuse of Scan and Shop has taken place.

To complete your Scan and Shop transaction you must make payment at the designated checkout area. You agree to pay the total shown at checkout or following a rescan, as appropriate. Deductions for promotions will be shown as you shop. The final deductions for promotions or coupons will be updated at the checkout before payment. In the event that there is discrepancy between the price shown on the handset and at the checkout, the price at checkout will apply. Suspension and Termination M&S reserves the right to: (i) vary these Terms and Conditions and/or the Scan and Shop service and (ii) withdraw the Scan and Shop service, at any time without notice. The decision of M&S in all matters shall be final and binding.

Charity

If you select a Sparks-supported charity or good cause at registration, M&S will donate 1p (one pence) to your chosen cause for each transaction you make with us, excluding refunds. This donation is made to the Charities Aid Foundation (registered charity number 268369) who will, in its discretion pass on your donation to your chosen cause. From 10th October 2023 any new or existing customer who has not selected a Sparks-supported charity or good cause at registration will have their donations sent to Young Minds (Charity Numbers 1016968 & SC039700). You may change your chosen cause at any time by logging into the M&S App, visiting Sparks and clicking the ‘Change Charity’ link under your chosen charity. From time to time, M&S may increase the value or frequency of charity or good cause donations as part of a time limited campaign or activity. M&S will give notice to customers of these campaign or activities via in store and online marketing messages.

Termination

You can terminate your Sparks account by contacting M&S Customer services on 03330 148 000 or online at https://www.marksandspencer.com/c/help-and-support/contact

On termination any and all benefits accrued will be lost. We can terminate your account immediately if at any time, you are, or we reasonably suspect you may be, acting fraudulently, criminally or are otherwise in breach of these terms. If your account has been inactive for 12 months or you have duplicate accounts under the same Sparks customer identification number we will review it and, in our discretion, may choose to suspend your account. If your account has been inactive for 4 years or more, then we may, at our discretion, terminate your Sparks account.

Please note that, if your Sparks account is terminated, any Sparks Pay accounts ("Sparks Pay") you have entered into with Marks & Spencer Financial Services plc, will be terminated.

Linking of your Sparks account to M&S Bank for credit card digital rewards via Sparks, will also be terminated.

Making changes to Sparks

We can make changes to the eligibility requirements, the Benefits, and the terms of the reward scheme at any time if we believe, in our reasonable discretion, that the change is to your benefit, or is required for the continuing administration of the reward scheme.Material changes will be communicated to you via the M&S app, SMS, email or postal communication where we have been provided with contact details by you. In the event that you are no longer eligible for the reward scheme as a result of changes made to the eligibility requirements, your account will be terminated following two months' notice of the changes. The preceding sentence will only apply where you become ineligible for the reward scheme in its entirety due to changes made to the eligibility requirements.

We reserve the right to withdraw or cancel the reward scheme at any time giving customers two months' notice of termination in writing (via email or postal communications). Termination or withdrawal of the reward scheme, as well as changes to the eligibility requirements that mean you are no longer eligible for the reward scheme, will also result in withdrawal or cancellation of any linked Sparks Pay. These terms are correct as of March 2024, and may be updated from time to time by M&S. Current terms are available at marksandspencer.com.

Throughout the year, customers may be invited to participate in activities through the M&S app. These activities e.g. shopping a fixed number of times in M&S and using your Sparks card or spending a set amount in a certain department, may result in a discount or a free treat for participating customers.

In addition, customers will be able to engage with Sparks marketing campaigns from time to time that may result in the customer being awarded with a discount, free product or an M&S gift card.

Every time you use your Sparks card (or are logged into your account, if online) during a purchase, you will have a chance to receive a little treat from M&S.

The rewards are selected at random from eligible Sparks customers and vary in number and type. They could be anything, for example Percy Pigs, a box of chocolates, candles from the apothecary range, or other rewards, all to thank you for being a loyal customer.

These terms and conditions are subject to change. M&S reserves the right to cancel or amend the Sparks product giveaway promotion at any time and at its sole discretion.
