I either use mine to pay for stuff in Argos (bought my tumble dryer with them when we moved in two years ago) or when I'm really skint and need food, I know I've always got some 'money' for stuff.barnaby-bear wrote: »What am I supposed to do with Nectar points - tesco ones I understand - use them for the deals etc... Nectar just rack up but not sure what to do with them and getting a bit worried they might go if JS decide a waste of time as Barclaycard and Debenhams have dropped them - any ideas? I think I have about 12000 and Mrs. B-B has about 25000
I guess it's personal choice really...... we only have Tesco, JS and Waitrose near me, so with my discount, JS is the cheapest...... If I had a Lidl near me and it was cheaper than JS after discount, I would be there! I suppose in a way I am *stuck* with JS as our main shop, so I'm justtrying to make the most of it'We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars' - Oscar Wilde0 -
Actually, you'd be surprised the number of customers who ask to have their odd 2/6/10 points put on their card......barnaby-bear wrote: »Very rarely I get a leaflet telling me I can buy a golfing day or a hairdryer
I get the feeling you must be able to get some value out of them but so many retailers have dropped out and our local JS don't really do promotions (and are our most expensive and disorganised (no milk or bread often) supermarket) that I'm not getting any new points nad I don't see why JS still bother with them other than that other supermarkets have loyalty cards... bit concerned they may notice that they aren't bothered and a lot of their customers aren't
Ur points are worth roughly £185, so maybe next time you buy something from Argos, you could swipe your cards and use some points.....? Or convert them into vouchers then donate them to a local charity?'We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars' - Oscar Wilde0 -

Their website seems to be bizarre treats.... under heading like "Thrill", "Pamper", "Entertain" - I'd just like to spend them wisely I'm not looking for a hooker....
Argos say 500 points = 2.50gbp (I didn't know you could spend them there) :T We've both had the cards since it started and never used the points because we couldn't work it out - so thanks that's made me happy - bit liek finding money down the sofa....0 -

We found this relocating - we went from an Asda, JS, Tesco, Waitrose zone to a Lidl, Asda, Netto, Aldi one (can you spot we moved to a cheaper area :rotfl: ) - the Asda in the expensive town was super-skanky (no veg. had crossed it's threshold) but local one now is super-plush and full of luxury lines..... I've generally liked JS in the past but they seem a bit less keen on value ranges (seems quite basic) but our nearest store just has staffing and logistics issues. It seems very much down to individual stores and also the range of other stores nearby...0 -
