£30 Free Nectar points from Amex

I had an Amex card nearly 2 years ago, think I got £30 worth of Nectar points from them last time they ran this offer. Closed the account down long ago.

If I re-apply for the card, would I qualify again for another £30 worth of Nectar points??

  • I imagine it would be 'New customers only'....

    What about Quidco? Couldn't find a link for getting both points and cashback - is this possible?

    Hi All,

    I've just had a look at Quidco, despite it saying you can get £35 for an Nectar Amex card, their Amex link only goes to the main Amex site.

    On Rpoints, were you can get £20 worth of points, it does take you to the correct link for the Nectar Amex card, but if you did it that way you only get 1000 Nectar Points (£5 worth).

    If you could either get points through Quidco though, or get Rpoints to match them (which IIRC they still do), then that would be £35 cashback from Rpoints/Quidco, plus £5 of Nectar points, thus £40 in total, £10 up on the 6000/£30 Nectar points offer.

    Has anyone got any experience of getting the card through either Quidco or Rpoints?

    Cheers

    On the subject of Nectar Points..........
    If you get it set up you can get Nectar Points for your business expenditure.

    I thought with most cards as long as you cancelled at least 6 months ago (some just 3 months) you'd be fine to re-apply as a new card holder.

    Seeing you you say you opened 2 years back just to get points and closed it, I imagine its been closed more than 6 months, so most probably you'd be fine, I guess - worth checking the T&Cs just in case though!

    Cheers

  • Hmm just tried to apply for the Nectar Credit Card. The site didn't work - told me I needed to fill in my post code and various other fields, all of which were filled in correctly.

    'Must be a Java/Firefox thing' I thought, so I did it all again in IE7 - and got the same result :mad:

    I went to the Necter site through Martin's link, when I tried to apply for an Amex card it went through to clkuk.tradedoubler.com/click but the screen was blank, has anyone any idea why and what do I do to get onto the site? I've posted on the another board but haven't had an answer. Can somebody help, please/
