M&S discount codes for October – how to save 20%

These are the best ways to save at M&S right now - (Marks & Spencer)

M&S is one of our most loved brands here at The Independent, as it’s a go-to destination for everything from delicious food and on-trend fashion to affordable (yet chic) homeware. If you love M&S as much as we do, you’ve come to the right place. We’ve got the latest news on the retail giant’s discounts, deals and sales, so that you can shop already affordable pieces, for even less.

Ways to save at M&S in 2025

From the popular rewards scheme to everyday discount codes, there are plenty of ways to save at M&S. Here are the easiest ways to update your wardrobe or treat yourself to a foodie haul at M&S for less.

10 per cent off with the Sparks reward scheme

M&S’s customer reward scheme has gained popularity in recent years. Sparks, as it is known, gives customers the chance to shop with personalised offers across all of its departments, including food, home and fashion.

Sparks offer can include:

  • £5 off at an M&S Foodhall when you spend £40 upon signing up
  • 10 per cent off fashion, beauty and home online or in store upon signing up
  • Preferential rates on travel money for all currencies online or in-store
  • A free gift during your birthday month - anything from prosecco to viral cookies
  • A complimentary hot drink for every six purchases you make

Over time, and if you scan your Sparks time every time you shop, you’ll be rewarded with different offers that will appear in your account. Simply activate them online, or in the app and scan the bar code in store.

Up to 50 per cent off in seasonal sales at M&S

Whether it’s a dedicated sale or the year-round clearance section, you’ll find thousands of discounted items on the M&S website. Savings span across clothing, beauty and home, and often highlight top brands, including Nobody’s Child, Hobbs, and Mamas & Papas.

M&S is also partial to a bundle deal on clothing. Right now, you can enjoy £20 off when you buy two Charles Tyrwhitt items and three t-shirts for £22 on selected items.

Shop smarter on the M&S app

If you’re a Sparks member, downloading the M&S app makes it easier to track your discounts and receipts, as well as making it quicker than ever to shop online. M&S also rewards loyal app-users with exclusive discounts from time to time, as well as early access to sales.

Get free delivery on your order

With a little forward planning, you can get free delivery on most of your online orders at M&S. Delivery policies vary depending on what you’re buying – here’s a quick lowdown of what to expect:

  • Store collection is free for all orders
  • Fashion, home and beauty orders over £60 automatically qualify for free delivery (£3.99 for orders less than this)
  • Flower, hamper and wine orders come with complimentary nominated and next day delivery

Exclusive discounts for parents and babies

In 2025, M&S launched its first-ever baby club, otherwise known as The Parent Hood. Parents can sign up for free, but will need to be a member of the Sparks loyalty scheme first.

Once you’re a member of The Parent Hood, you’ll get 10 per cent off babygrows for the first two years of your child’s life, as well as personalised monthly rewards. These can be anything from discounts on a particular brand to free items to help you out that month.

You can also join the weekly parent and baby morning at your local M&S cafe, and claim a free piece of cake with every hot drink purchase.
