However, this comes as shoppers slammed M&S for its Christmas offering via its Sparks app in December, branding the 12 days of Sparks as “underwhelming”.
Although, some users bagged themselves chocolates, mince pies, gin snow globes and light-up biscuit tins, others were less impressed receiving prizes like satsumas, hand creams and money off vouchers.
“We are setting out to create better connected and smoother payment solutions across M&S.com, our app and stores nationwide,” M&S services director, Kirsty Ward said in October.
