    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
    That's great news, really cheered me up :)
    Thanks to all who post constructively.

    I've booked a test drive for Wed, but did not ask about nectar points. They show as being a nectar dealer on the website. Any suggestions

    Easy £50 made for about 5 mins effort was going past anyway to go to sainsburys!!!!

    hi

    just been to the local dealer , and after a chat he said i could get points without the drive, but that nectar machine down seeing as bank holiday? and to come back Thursday, 3 days before offer ends,
    Mabye i am bewing paronoid bur does this sound like he is fobbing me off?

    Me too, I went yesterday by mistake (starts today), he said nectar machine was in workshop but too copy of my card and the ad and said he would process today.

    Why would the nectar machine be in the workshop...hmmm!

    Bought another paper yesterday so will go to another dealer and ask for a receipt this time as another poster said they received receipt.

    Where are all your dealers who are giving points without the drive? We went in today and were very honest about everything, said we weren't bothered when the drive was or what in as we were only really doing it for the points. He said he couldn't give us the points without a drive as you have to do the test drive to get the points, but that he couldn't book us in at the moment with them being short staffed (due to Bank Holiday) and that they wanted to give priority to buying customers otherwise the lads won't get paid today. Seems odd as we said to him that we don't want to waste your time and we appreciate we won't be given priority but makes me wonder why we couldn't just get the points to save their mither?

    He also said it isn't the dealer who issues the points, it's Ford UK - so I doubt any of the dealers will mind how many people do it for points aside from the issue of them not making a sale.

    You can get the cards from BP - went down the local garage and got an envelope from them that has two cards in - one for me and one for a friend. You can use it straght away - just need to register (either online or by form) to redeem the points.
    Hey, how come my envelope only had the form in?
    You sure there should be a card in there? :eek:

    Looks like I've missed this one - unless anyone has a spare voucher?

    Yes - certain. The Registration form has two cards on a pull off strip at the bottom.

    Thats the same story I got when I went in today, they can't add them today because the service department is closed and they need a pin number for the nectar machine. You receive nectar points for service and spares apparently.

    He's copied my licence and took my nectar number to add them tomorrow.
