Do I need to Update the Address on My Sparks Card?

Do I need to Update the Address on My Sparks Card?

As of 2020 M&S’s loyalty programme Sparks has over 7 million brits signed up. With lots of benefits it has become a must-have when shopping at M&S.

However, do you actually need to update your address with M&S when you move home?

In general, whenever you change your phone number, payment details or home address it is best practice to update companies with which you have a loyalty scheme.

By keeping your address up to date you ensure you get all relevant post and offers from M&S to your current home address. This will also minimise the chance that your online purchases will go to the wrong address.

Your address is also one of the ways that M&S will verify the identity on your account. As we know, updating your address really does help to prevent mail landing into the wrong hands. It may surprise you to know that mail fraud cost over £500 Million to UK citizens in 2019 alone 😱

How Does the Sparks Card Work?

How does the sparks card work?

Now we’ve looked at your Sparks Card change of address, let’s dive straight into how M&S’ Sparks card works.  

“Good things happen every time you shop”

That’s the slogan M&S use to promote their loyalty card. Sparks Card went through a large redesign in 2020 due to complaints about it being too complicated. So, with this sparkly redesign in mind what are the main benefits of the Sparks Card?

  • Personalised offers: Based on your particular shopping preferences you will receive offers 
  • Charity donation: M&S donate a sum to charity every time you purchase, so you’re directly support good causes
  • Entire shop for free: One Sparks customer has their entire shop paid for each week
  • Free gifts: Each week a number of Sparks customers receive a free gift

M&S’ loyalty card is also digital, meaning you can scan rewards on your phone. Plus, you’re helping out good causes – which is always a massive benefit.

Unlike a traditional loyalty scheme such as Boots or Tesco Clubcard, you don’t accrue points for every pound you spend. Instead, you make a donation to charity receive offers and are in the chance for winning something big. M&S were clear that its more regular shoppers would receive more benefits.

 

Is Sparks Card any Good?

Is Sparks Card any Good?

Unlike points-based schemes you’re not necessarily guaranteed anything when you shop at M&S. If you spend £100 at Tesco you know that you’re going to receive 100 clubcard points. With the Sparks Card you don’t know exactly what it is that you’re getting.

Some love the random ‘chance to win’ nature of the scheme whilst others have criticised it for not being totally transparent 🧐 

It’s difficult to know exactly how much in value you get from spending your money at M&S but we do know that it’s certainly better than not being a SPARKS member.

So, how likely are you to win a weeks free shopping? Being conservative with 7 million members, let’s assume:

  • 1) Only 1 million out of the 7 million members are active;
  • 2) Each member only shops once a month; and
  • 3) You buy something on your SPARKS card every day
  •  

That would put your chances at having you shopping paid for at 1 out of 8,000.

The bottom line: If you shop at M&S (even occasionally) you should sign up to the SPARKS card. You have an actual chance to win, the opportunity to reduce the cost of your shop, win prizes and help charities. However, pound for pound it may not be as strong as some of the other loaylty schemes.

How do I change my address with M&S

There are a couple of ways to update the address on your SPARKS card. You can call their customer care team directly calling M&S on 0333 014 8000. You can also drop them an email at: retailcustomer.services@customersupport.marksandspencer.com

We’re working hard to add M&S SPARKS to our service. If you’re using SlothMove you will also be able to inform everyone else at the same time (other loyalty schemes, NHS, charities, Council Tax etc…) too if you need to without having to repeat yourself.

Most people wait until after they have moved before they complete an online address change on their accounts. It is better to be proactive and let Marks and Spencer and your other providers know within two weeks of your home move. Updating your details will happen automatically, but you must remember that there could be mail communications out. So, to avoid any overlap it is good practice to give lots of notice.
