The main change was the launch of a digital Sparks wallet within the M&S app, enabling shoppers to accumulate cash rewards rather than traditional points. This means M&S customers can now earn real money back by hitting specific spending thresholds across different categories.For instance, they'll receive a £10 reward for spending £50 on fashion, home, or beauty and a £5 reward for spending £35 in the food hall. The scheme will reportedly personalise rewards according to shoppers' individual purchasing habits and dietary preferences.Any rewards earned can be spent on anything at M&S straight away, or kept in your wallet for a later date, such as Christmas shopping.However, The Mirror can exclusively reveal that the retailer is now introducing another change from Monday (April 17).M&S will be launching a brand-new reward into Sparks for the first time – prize draws exclusively for Sparks customers. These monthly prize draws will offer exclusive M&S perks and prizes from partners, starting with Virgin.The first prize draw opening on Monday will see Sparks customers entering to win 1 million Virgin Red points.View 3 ImagesThe retailer is switching to a "pounds, not points" model(Image: Bloomberg via Getty Images)Customers just need to open the M&S app and visit Sparks where...
