Nectar points

I have a load of Nectar points which I know I could spend in Sainsbury or Argos at the rate of £2.50 for 500 points but wondered if like Tesco vouchers you are better doing something else. Any ideas????

    Adams (Kids store) - you get £5 voucher for your 500 points when it's £2.5
    Blockbusters (DVD/Games rental) - you can get any DVD for one 500 voucher. Basicaly if you rent latest title which will cost you £3.75 so still better than £2.50.
    Few restaurants will give you £5.00 of meal

    Does anyone know any quick ways to get 250 nectar points? I'm saving for the discount on the Orient Express and I only need 250 more.

    I've done the nectar american express and the ebookers. Any other ideas? Thanks

    Check with Nectar your details, give them a call. Make sure you're set for newsletters and etc. They tend to send free 500 points with every newsletter to us. Then shop at Sainsburys instore or online, there are plenty offers if you buy one or another product.
    Good luck!

    Quick note: You cannot get vouchers in Sainsburys, you must order them from Nectar directly and tell them where you are going to use them. Then you will receive personalised vouchers that can be use only at the store you requested vouchers for.

    If you apply for an additional card for a partner or family member you get sent it with vouchers for extra nectar points.

    If you add an additional card owner to your account they can get points for signing up to ebookers etc.

    Also have you joined TNS - they give you points for completing surveys.

    would also recommend checking out the website...there are lots of affilliated companies, including ebay (for Buy it Now transactions)

    The best value deal if it suits you imo is Cannons - a months gym/swim membership for 1000 points for two people.
