The offers will run until January 1 2027 and offer Sparks customers the chance to earn £15 towards their Christmas shop.

Sharry Cramond, marketing and loyalty director for M&S said: “We know customers are shopping for Christmas earlier this year, so we want to make their festive shopping even more rewarding. With three new special Sparks offers, customers can earn up to £15 into their Sparks wallet as they shop, helping them tick off their Christmas list and get things wrapped up before the big day.

“And with new offers every week, there are plenty more opportunities to earn. After all, getting your Christmas shopping done early deserves a little reward!”

To redeem the offers customers should use their existing Sparks account (or sign up to the loyalty programme), activate the offers in their account and scan their card at checkout.
