If you're a *true* bargain hunter, you'll know that there's one sale that trumps them all - the Next sale.
The clothing and homeware retailer usually holds three clearance sales per year, and shoppers flock to stores nationwide to grab themselves some huge reductions and banging bargains.
According to BelfastLive , this year's autumn sale will kick off on Saturday 21 September, so if you've already got plans, now's a good time to clear your diary to make sure you get there bright and early.
However, there is a way you can get in on the sale action early.
To do so, you'll need to be a Next VIP - this will get you an invitation to book a slot to shop the sale before anyone else.
An advert on the Next site says that VIP customers will get at least 50% off most sale items, so if you're not part of the club already but want to be, now is the time to do it.
How do I become a Next VIP?
To become a Next VIP and be selected for an invitation you'll need to fulfill the following criteria:
- Have a Next credit account with at least £250 available
- Have placed and kept an order from the Next Directory this season
- Have an up to date email address and be registered to receive sale and promotional emails
- Have returned less than two thirds of the items you've ordered
How do I book a Next VIP slot?
If you tick all of the criteria boxes, you should receive an email which will invite you to book a VIP slot. You'll also be able to log onto your Next account to check you're eligible.
If you want to sign up, it's advised you do it sooner rather than later, as slots are limited and are available on a first come, first served basis. Slots are restricted to one per customer.
