Bring on Christmas 2022!
Joanna Reekie, 48, from County Durham, is already planning next year’s presents…
‘ Putting money aside with Park Christmas Savings is great. I’ve been doing it for six years now, so I can buy gifts for all the family with no sudden big hit on the finances.
‘With big presents like a PS5 for my son Lewis and an imac for my daughter Ellie, getting vouchers through Park helped me spread the cost.
‘I also gave Lewis clothes from JD Sports and got loads of Primark treats for Ellie.
‘My four nieces all got £25 Love2shop gift cards, so they could choose where they wanted to spend them, and I even treated myself at M&S.
‘I pay throughout the year by direct debit, so it’s really easy, and I don’t miss the cash going out. Last year, I made regular payments and saved £1,500, so Park gave me a 3.5% bonus – which was a very good perk for doing nothing more than getting Christmas sorted.’
Q How can I join up with Park Christmas Savings?
A Simply go online and set a budget to suit you. A little each week soon adds up – £10 a week over 50 weeks will give you £500 in gift cards or vouchers, which you’ll receive in time to do all your Christmas shopping – and make the most of Black Friday deals, too.
Q Where can I use the gift cards and vouchers?
A There’s a brilliant choice across most major retailers, both in-store and online, and gift cards from shops like Primark, M&S and JD Sports make great presents.
Or try the Love2shop multi-gift card. It can be used at high-street retailers such as Argos, TK Maxx and Matalan. The Your Choice Card* is accepted anywhere that takes Mastercard, including Amazon. And new for this year is a chip-and-pin-style Purple Card.
Q How do the payments work, and can I be flexible in the payment amounts and frequency?
A It’s entirely up to you how much you pay and when, whether it’s by direct debit or standing order, online or phone payment, Paypoint or post.
Depending on whether you’re strapped for cash or feeling flush, you can reduce or increase payments and track them on the Park app or your online account. If you pay in over £1,500, you’ll be eligible for commission rewards of up to 3.5%. Plus, if you refer a friend to Park, you’ll both get £10 on your accounts.**
