Found old nectar card, whats it worth

biglad

Hello everyone, realised i had an old nectar card so tried to check it online but said it was deactivated, so i rang up the helpline ( off saynoto0870 ) and they told me i have 7439 points, whats this worth in value at sainsburys, could do the shopping for the rest of the month if worth anything lol

thanks in advance

ps watch it be worth a pound or summin

About £37.19 I think....I could be wrong here but I think each point is worth 0.5p. It used to be 1p per point but I think they halved it a couple of years ago. Quite prepared to be corrected if I'm wrong though lol!

I think 500 points is £2.50

thanks

remember the warning from Mr Lewis not to spend the Nectar points till after 30th June, as they will be doubled. Re e mail 13th June, (top right of this page).

Oooh, I didn't know about that Dave, cheers.

*makes mental note to read email more carefully in future*

oooh thanks for this - I'll have a look at the email again too

thanks for that, although it doesnt have double value for shopping, will def use it for some of the other things next month though

silly question, can i pay for all my shopping with nectar card, seems a bit cheeky lol

I think you can - why would it be cheeky? They have a not so good loyalty card and you should use it for all it's worth! You have been a loyal customer and have been rewarded as such with lots of lovely points

Yep you definately can

there is some issue about not being able to spend the points in a sainsburys where you havent collected the points before IIRC.

i would give them a ring and double check this you dont want to get to the front of the queoe with all your bargains to find you cant pay for them on it!

biglad

the funny thing is i got told when i rang up there was another card holder on my account, this was my moms ex partner whos is a complete ~#$%. i dont remember getting that many points so think some are from him as my card has not been used for quite some time

of course i took him off the account

put a big smile on my face, can get my dad summin for fathers day now, although he is just very proud im dealing with my debts and not following in his footsteps
