Urgent! Nectar stopping converting to Amazon vouchers from midnight 31st Jan

Urgent. I just found out by chance that Nectar will not be allowing conversion to amazon gift codes after midnight on the 31st January 2013.

This means that, if you want to convert your Nectar points into Amazon vouchers you have to do it NOW.

2000 nectar points = £10 Amazon voucher.

Also, starting Feb 1st, Nectar are dropping Amazon as a retailer where you can EARN points too.

On the whole, this means Nectar is becoming even more erm pointless than it was before.

If you want to convert your points to Amazon vouchers, do it NOW. Otherwise you'll be left with loads of unimpressive choices for your points.

    Thanks so much for the heads up. Just converted all of mine.

    I didn't get an email from them warning me of this change - how annoying.

    An extremely useful tip - many thanks. I had no idea they were dropping Amazon for redemptions as well as accruals.

    As you say, a pretty useless scheme made (if that's possible) even more useless.

    I did discover I had £40 worth of Amazon vouchers, though!

    Apologies redfox, it was a joke.

    I think changing the scheme like this (and it's a fairly major change in my opinion) and not bothering to tell anyone stinks. :mad:

    I only found out when I logged in to check my balance as I thought I'd just gone over the 2000 points mark.
  • I never use my nectar points, can i just check that you can also use them in sainsbury's for the same value as an amazon voucher? thanks :)
