How to bag yourself a slot in the Next VIP sale

Next's high street stores will be closed on Boxing Day, but fear not! That doesn't mean you have to miss out on bargains.

There will be huge Boxing Day sales this Christmas, with at least half off womenswear, menswear and childrenswear - and even homeware. And Next offers VIP sale slots ahead of Christmas to its most loyal customers.

To secure an early bird VIP sale slot, you must have a Next Credit Account with at least £250 credit available at the time of the VIP sale. Make sure your email address is up to date and set to receive promotional emails and that you've placed and kept an order from the current season in order to qualify.

You can also take out a Next Unlimited plan which gives you 12 months of free deliveries for £22.50. Next pledges to give you next day service if you place your order before 10pm.
