Nectar vs Cashback sites

warnski

Hi all, I've recently got a Nectar card, and I notice that I can gain points by linking to certain shops from the Nectar site...

Does anybody know whether this is more or less worthwhile than using cashback sites? (I usually use Topcashback)

Thanks in advance!

Depends how much each is offering?
I normally use quidco, but if Im buying on ebay I go through nectar as they give 1 point per £1 spent so works out I am getting more.
Nectar purchases dont show up for 28 days also, so keep a track of when you buy and how much to make sure the correct amount of points get added

You just have to work it out for yourself, really, each transaction.

Isn't hard to do, I know I'll get, say 2points for a quid spent through nectar e-stores. I tend to exchange my nectar points at the cinema, where 1000 = 1 ticket = £7.50 - so each point is worth .75p - so 1.5p/pound spent = 1.5%, so if quidco pays more than 1.5%, quidco's a winner.

Generally speaking, Nectar points aren't worth a whole lot, so you're better off with cashback, I reckon - obviously this varies when you get offers, extra points etc though.
