which is best use for nectar vouchers?

crazy_guy

I bought a ps2 from argos with my nectar points (of course i got a good bundle price at the time by making them match a mis-price on the argos website )

sorry, me again with same problem as before "what can i spend nectar on". had great fun in boots at weekend picking up loads of half price treats for myself for the second time in 11 months, totalling £59.67 and didnt have to part with a penny. but still stuck with 5345 points that it has taken 18 months to save. anyone had any more success in grabbing a bargain, as previously stated dont have any young children so that leaves out adams and have no brewers fayre near me, what are you spending yours on?

I am wondering this too.I have about 11,500 points after getting 5000 for getting an amex nectar card which i use for all my spending and pay off in full each month.My little grandaughter had a load of clothes bought her with the £7.50 offer,but at this rate she will have to change every half hour if i buy her any more adams clothes.I just lookedon the site and found i could get £50 of debenhams vouchers with my 10,000 points but i am looking for better value redemption than this.

On the Boots query, we save ours up until Christmas and then get prezzies for people on the 3 for 2 offers using points...humbug!

re nectar points, why not wait until they do a special offer blitz? In the summer they had various promos each week and you could have bought some luggage or CDs for example. I have used a load on Eurostar with take a child free (and upgrades to 1st class for £25 total- WELL worth it for the 4 lovely meals with champagne, wine, cognac for me!, newspapers, glossies and quick embarkation etc) for special girl's birthday treat. Found cheap accom in Paris online no problem but you could just do a day trip. It was around Jan/Feb for the eurostar offer.
I also did a Best Western hotel B&B & room rate on Nectar in the Lakes and once again it was a special treat I would never have done without the points. I was collecting on my energy bills but not any more so it might be another few years before I go again...but time flies!

your eurostar sounds great and am looking to take hubbie away in feb from 15th to 19th as a birthday treat. doubt my 5345 points will give me many treats and am not taking any children but the upgrade sounds good. would you mind pm me with details and what eals you got, do you remember hotel details in paris. any help would be greatly received

This year i used mine against the Adams promotion when the upped the voucher redemption from £5 to £7.50. I plan to save them again till a similar offer comes up next year to maximise my return,otherwise theres nothing else i would bother with.Re brewers fayre,they sometimes have bogof vouchers flying around so I am not sur that i would use my nectar points for that.Does anyone know if any other participating stores ever increase their redemption like Adams do?

Hiya never knew about this any chance you could post on here if it becomes available again? Just cashed mine for adama vouchers

I am the same I have 6000. worth about £30. I did not go out of the way to get them, so I suppose it will be some cheap wine for my birthday?

I don't know that much about them, but Mum got a heater for half price in Argos with hers as they buy them

Although it's not such a good exchange as Adams, which is the usual reward I go for, I did use my points at Christmas to buy the young 'uns gifts for the teachers at school from Sainsbury's.
