    Am i right in thinking that 4000 points are worth £20 in store? whereas the Amazon £20 voucher will cost 4300 points.

    I wish Nectar would do something like Tesco and make them worth quadruple the amount
  • Yeah, in store 4,000 points = £20.00

    But 300 points = £1.50 so your only losing that amount by getting the amazon certificate instead.

    Sainsburys are very stingey with their points! You only get 2 points per £ spent and then you get half the amount your points are worth i.e. 500 points = 2.50. This means that for every £1 you spend, you're only getting 1p of points.

    If you shop in sainsburys you should just use the points on shopping then spend £20 on amazon if you really want to. You're throwing away £1.50 if you get the amazon voucher :p

    If he filled up at Tescos you would get far more points (in value terms)
  • I didn't realise you can use it in Argos too. So 500 points are worth £2.50 in Argos but only £2.32 in Amazon. But in Argos you can use by swiping your card and using blocks of 500 but Amazon you have to get a gift certificate by using up 4300 points?
  • I wish Tesco Clubcard would tie in with something like this. There's only so many visits to Pizza Express I can take!
  • I was shopping in Argos yesterday and just happened to ask if I could use Nectar there. He said I could pay using points so I handed over the card and was told that there was £92 to spend (it was the first time I'd redeemed any in 10+ years). Very easy to do!
