Nectar CardNewest Review: ... A good feature of the card is that if you go to nectar.com and then access certain online retailers you will earn points on your purchase. This includes sites like Play.com and Amazon.co.uk although you do have to visit nectar.com and access these sites from there before you put anything in your basket to earn points. A few down sides. A few months ago my points were not added on from Amazon ... more |

The Nectar card is effectively a loyalty card which allows you to earn points on money spent at selected outlets. There are two different types of card - the general nectar card and the nectar credit card. You can earn points at actual shops as well as online. Outlets include Sainsburys, BP petrol stations, recently Homebase and many more.

I love my loyalty cards so I had to sign up for a Nectar card. I signed up online and had the card delivered shortly after. I later ordered a fob to put on my keyring, which is handy as I don't have to take my card out with me - just my keys! The Nectar points scheme isn't that great to be honest. You get 2 points for every £1 spent, which is half of what Boots offer. Also, every point is worth 0.5p which isn't marvellous. So you feel like you've got loads of points when they're not worth very much - a little misleading. However, since you collect them in Sainsbury's, there is the potential to collect more points as if you have a family you probably spend ... Read the complete review

Nectar is the loyalty card for Sainsbury's, BP and Homebase combined (think they also accept it in for Debenhams as well). You get 2 points for every full £1 you spend, which is quite poor when you consider that it's half what you get with a Boots Advantage Card. You have to save the points up and then you can claim money off vouchers - you need 500 points for every £2.50 voucher so you could say that every point you earn is worth 0.5 pence. This is really not great, but the way I see it is that if you're shopping in Sainsbury's anyway, which lots of us do, then why not take advantage of their reward scheme? The vouchers available can vary, although they ... Read the complete review

American Express? That defintely won't do nicely. It's a credit card that in my experience is universally rejected almost everywhere, in countries all around the globe. Admittedly, I most often try using mine at shops and hotels and payment and point and so on in England - "You don't by any chance accept American Express cards, do you?" I'll say, and then the person operating the till I'm trying to pay for goods or services at more often than not will look at me as if I've just said something horribly rude to them, before replying: "American Express? We most certainly do NOT," but I've taken it abroad on ... Read the complete review

Everyone in the UK should have a nectar card. Nowadays it is so easy to knock up points on your nectar card and what some people dont know is that you can get money off your shopping at sainsburys using your points at argos even accept them at a rate of 500 points for £2.50 off your shopping. One of the easiest ways to get points is on your food shopping at sainsburys where you get 2 points for £1 and sometimes they even do triple points promotions. You can also gain points from online shops like amazon, ebay, mother care, dell, dixons, early learning centre, currys, dorothy perkins, new look and the list goes on. Expedia.co.uk will also ...
