    I believe that they take it off you - they are debited for the cost, to them, of Nectar providing the points, so will keep it for their accounting.

    I went in yesterday by mistake thinking it started Sunday, they did take voucher off me.

    Just back from my local BP Garage. Had to ask the assistant if they had any Application Forms for the nectar cards - as I could spot any on the counter. She produced one from behind their counter for me.
    Having undone the envelope it came in I see that if you apply to register on line instead of posting it off, you get a bonus of 100 points.

    I picked up two papers earlier but only I drive ( my partner hasn't got her license yet).

    To get the two sets of points would I be best to:-

    a) Set up two seperate test drives in my name at two different Ford dealers but use different nectar cards each time

    or b) Set up two seperate test drives - one in my name and one in hers - and then tell the guy that she's not feeling well, I'll be doing the test drive instead of her, when I go for the test drive in her name?

    I quite fancy driving one of those StreetKAs!!! :) Wouldn't dream of buying one (yuck - Fords! lol!!) but they look like fun!

    Hi, go for option a) because you have to produce your driving license, I am guessing this is to stop disqualified drivers as the insurance would be invalid.
    You can't take your partners place, same as sitting an exam for the partner!!
    Good Luck, Beth

    In the T&Cs it says "all nectar account holders who have booked in person at a nectar participating dealership can claim 10,000 nectar points and will be entered into prize draw The nectar card must be presented at time of booking.

    Is this a get out clause if you book on line or by phone?

    By any chance does anyone have a spare copy of the coupon?
    Bought the wrong paper last night!, should have checked here before going to shop.
  • You're very welcome, I think someone at your local dealers may have been telling you porky pies ;)
    Thank you Roger for your help and advice. I phoned local dealer again today, spoke to a different person (third one in as many days) and now no problem they are nectar dealers (pity the weekend staff don't know) and offered to process without test drive if wanted. OH wants to test drive so have arranged one. 10000 nectar points, excellent result. Would probably have accepted garage wouldn't process points and given up without your input.
    Your help is much appreciated. :T :j :D
