Nectar loyalty Points 30,000 of them? Best buys or can you sell them?

You can also redeem nectar vouchers against meals at Brewers Fayre pubs, and like the Adam's deal you also get £5 for 500 points instead of £2.50 a la Argos/Sainsburys.

However, you can trivially get £5 off anyway just by going to the Brewers Fayre website, so it's hardly worth it *except* that the Nectar vouchers can be used at weekends where as the website freebies cannot.

I always save our nectar vouchers for the Debenhams sales. We pay with vouchers and last time they gave Nectar points on our purchases too even though we paid with vouchers.

We've found it the best way to use them for us.

I've read somewhere that Debanhams are leaving the nectar scheme and doing their own points scheme on card purchases- but don't know when.

At 2000 points for a month's membership at cannons, thats, 15 months worth of gym for you and your wife/partner!

The Cannons deal is great, but I've been told that you can't do it for successive months and can only do 3 a year. However, one partner could do it, naming their wife as a second person and vice versa maybe.

I would def do this if there was one anywhere near me! sounds a good deal and wifey could do the massage,facial and beauty vouchers as well for cannons.

The best way to spend nectar points is either at Adams or on flights. I think that if you slect the minimum nectar points required to get a discount, it works out the best value.

i.e. choose 3,000 points and £150 flight instead of 60,000 and a free one (not real numbers), but you can work out the value of the points by looking at the full cost and dividing the saving by number of points

Save them for travel! I've got almost 40,000 points:

10,000 points gets you one return journey on the Eurostar to Paris or Brussels
30,000 points gets you one return flight to New York! :T

I sold mine

the person paid me, i rung up nectar, told them i wanted to combine my points with my partners, gave his details and then they transferred the points and closed my card. i then applied for a new card.

I think i had about £20 worth of sainsburies points on it and sold it for about £30.

My advice would be to spend them on the Tussauds Annual Pass, but then again we love Theme Parks.

They cost 12,000, but then give you 12month entry to (subject to them not being closed in winter months) Alton Towers, Chessington, Thorpe Park and then all year round, Warwick Castle and Madame Tussauds.

(I have mentioned this before on here, but they used to cost £20 of Tesco Clubcard points, which was £2,000 of normal spend, but now with Nectar they cost 12,000 which is £6,000 of normal spend, so 3x as much for the same thing !!!, but still free in a way)

I spend mine at thomson holidays. You'll get £100 off a £1000 holiday using 4000 nectar points. That's after they've done a price match!
