    Thanks for that, justed changed £40 worth. Not only did I not know it was stopping I didn't know it had ever started!

    Never get any mail from Nectar.

    I didn't know either!

    Thanks OP, just exchanged mine.

    I did get an email telling me they were stopping. It's annoying though as always converted mine to amazon
  • I applied for vouchers last week and Nectar requested them from Amazon the same day. Unfortunately, despite Nectar re-requesting them for me they have yet to appear. I've checked my spam/junk e-mail.
    I'm assuming that because I requested them before the deadline I should still be entitled to them. I'm hoping Amazon are just overwhelmed with requests and that I will get them eventually.
    They say to allow three working days normally.

    I requested mine over a week ago and not received them yet either!

    Well at least I'm not the only one. Hopefully we won't have to wait too much longer.

    I had an email from Nectar on Jan 17th titled important information,there it said that you could no longer get Nectar points after the 31st.
  • I just discovered that I have collected zero points from all my Amazon purchases despite going through the Nectar e-shop each time. It seems any items already in your basket before you go through the Nectar gateway do not count towards your points. Anyway hardly matters now but may be worth remembering this for other Nectar e-shop purchases.

    Thanks for the heads-up OP. I only really accumulate Nectar points through Amazon and ebay so will make quite a difference to me.
    It's the most wonderful timeof the year :

    I didn't even know you could spend your Nectar points on Amazon..D'oh! They're not exactly pointless though, you can still use them against your shopping in Sainsbury's, which is what I had intended on doing. I think of it as a little saving scheme.
