    Nectar points devalued with ADAMS childrenswear.


    Please be aware,as jacksons mum has highlighted,Adams childrenswear vouchers(nectar) now only worth £3 for 500 points,a reduction from their normal £5 for 500 points
  • I use my deals to get cheap Eurotunnel trips (apps £15 in clubcard vouchers for a day trip depending on the times of travel) to France & then purchase wine in Tescos at City Europe. The wine is appx £1.65 a bottle vs £3.99 in our local Tescos. Clubcard Vouchers have paid for our Eurotunnel trips for the weeks family holiday and several day trips to WW2 sites in addition to shopping trips! Next trip is a romantic weekend away.

    I received a letter last month from Natwest notifying me that from the day after my June statement they will no longer be issuing Airmiles for purchases made with my Natwest Credit card, however I will retain any Airmiles collected proir to the June statement.
    Anyone else received a similar letter?

    I also received this letter and as I use this credit card for all my purchases to save for Air Miles and I am not impressed by Lloyds TSB offer as the rate for collecting Airmiles by using the credit card a ridiculously low.Also many stores do not like taking American Express so I would not use that. The letter from Natwest also said that there would be a new scheme offering Natwest points (or something similar) and I had decided to keep my current card for the time being to assess the new scheme. If I don't like the new scheme, I am thinking that I might change to a Tesco credit card and then use the option to exchange my clubcard points for Air Miles

    hia

    I have been saving up my clubcard vouchers and have now ammassed £245 :eek: - worth nearly a grand!!!

    I want to book a flight, car hire and maybe a hotels in Boston (USA not Lincolnshire!) and would appreciate any advice on whether it's better to book through Virgin or to purchase airmiles and use those? Having saved vouchers so hard I want to make sure I spend them in the best way possible!

    Hi, I've just used the checker to look at the ipoints rate and don't think it's currently correct (wasn't there an adjustment of a decimal place at some point?)

    For 2874 I got a value of c.£123 which doesn't work (nor £12.30 as a guess) when compared to a reward I could get for a similar amount of points (Torchwood part 1,2 or 3 - available generally around £15).

    £2 CSC - £30 :kisses3:
  • I got in touch with Nectar and have now been given my points back,
    after my account with them was suspended for a couple of years,
    Today I have had an e-mail from nectar and they are offering 100 points and a free eye test from Dolland & Atchison, + 50% off any glasses purchased

    Ipoints recently changed their points structure, so what used to be 1point is now 10 points. Some surveys and offers still give points based on the old system which is a bit cheeky which is why you have 2874 and not a multiple of 10 like 2870 or 2880. The checker hasn't been updated so you have to knock off the last digit to get an accurate representation.
