DON'T SPEND YOUR POINTS YET!!! Wait until July 1st

Had an email from them saying the following


For the first time, we've discounted some of our most popular rewards!

Throughout the summer from July 1st to August 25th there'll be a different theme each week with special offers for that week only.

With great offers on CDs, wine, cameras, days out and much more, now is the time to spend your Nectar points!

Log onto www.nectar.com from July 1st to find out more.

Have a great summer with Nectar!

From the email it looks like they will be offering the following:
July 1st - 7th = 50% off wines, BBQ's & more
July 8th - 14th = Kids go free on Eurostar & more
July 15th - 21st = 50% off CD's & SOME magazine subscriptions
July 22nd - 28th = 50% off great attractions such as Alton Towers
July 29th - Aug 4th = 50% off Cameras, DVD players & more
Aug 5th - 18th = 241 on movie & game rentals
Aug 19th - 25th = 50% more Value at Adams kids (A great deal as 500 points already gives you a £5 voucher!)

Some really good deals there if you have a few points, nectar isn't usually the most rewarding but making use of the above deals helps to get the most out of them - especially if you still have the ford points. Have had a look & there are no t&c's posted as yet so assume this is for everyone and that there are no hidden catches :T

thanks for the tip. I've got about 25,000 points (and they're only worth £125 at CD-wow/Sainsbury's/Argos, or £250 at Adams (although i've absolutely no reason to buy anything from Adams) - so i'll be keeping an eye on the "discounted" rewards to see if any genuinely good deals come up.


I could perhaps be tempted if the Halo Garden Patio Heater was reduced from 31,000 points.

I was going to get a case of wine but will now wait - luckily I saw the 3 days to go banner before I ordered. Thanks for the extra detail on the offer - will wait 3 days now before ordering wine.

Yes you can buy a number of items with your points online & also order vouchers. Just a quick bump as deals start tomorrow

It's started - and if you go to http://www.summerofrewards.co.uk/sofr/comp/offers.phtml
and click on 'terms and conditions' on the bottom left, it will tell you what other things are coming up as well!

It's "NOW ONLY 15,050 points" for anyone else who's interested

Normally you would be better of redeeming your points in Argos to get the same item because it would be cheaper in Argos. But this half points deal makes the items worth getting direct from Nector.

Work it out by dividing the total points for the item by 500 and then multiply by £2.50 as 500 points equals £2.50 in Argos.

Thanks to the original poster.

I'm waiting until the Adams 50% extra offer in August.

These vouchers don't last as long as standard Nectar Adams vouchers though. The T+C state that they are only valid until 31st October 2006. They usually expire 12 months after issue.
