DOUBLE REWARD POINTS

Options
Double your reward points.
Purchase gift vouchers from the store you collect points from get your points when you purchase. You can then get the same points in full when you spend the gift voucher.
My husband bought me £100 Debenhams voucher and used my Nectar card collecting 100 points. When I spent the voucher I was credited the same points again. So if you are making a large purchase use gift vouchers and get double points.
Haven't tried it anywhere else - please let me know if you have any successes!!!

    Come to think of it, I bought a friend a £10.00 Boots Gift Card for Xmas, and got the points. I was with her when she spent the £10.00 on sale goods, and she was again rewarded with more points.

    that's a great tip ;D

    people spending large amounts on electrical goods etc could easily pay for gift vouchers and the use them to buy the goods ;D

    Yes. Great idea. Would not have occured to me. Do all reward schemes pay out when you buy gift vouchers though? ???

    BEWARE..... If you're making a BIG purchase, on an electrical item, you'd maybe better paying on plastic & going for the points your card generates.Plus getting the extra years warranty (use the right card) or at least, the added credit card , protection, should you have a problem with what you buy.

    But for day to day spending, always worth seing if it adds up for you.
