Think they will only take off multiples of 500 points (£2.50) so you if you have 1200 points you would need to buy something for £5 or over if you wanted to use as many points as you could. Then you give your nectar card to the assistant and ask her to take it off your points and hopefully only have a few pence to pay in real money. Have you checked to see how many points you have? If you found you had more than 1200 it would be a lifesaver.Official DFW Nerd No 096 - Proud to have dealt with my debt!0
