Rates and offers change. Confirm today's terms on the issuer's official site before applying. Independent comparison — not financial advice.

The M&S Shopping Plus card combines a 0% purchase period with M&S points: 1 point per £1 at M&S and 1 per £5 elsewhere, converted into M&S vouchers four times a year. Outside M&S the earning rate is thin, so it works best as a dedicated M&S card or as a 0% tool for a large purchase.
