    Can't be a fiddle. If you travel from Scotland to Hull, say. Then after a break travel to Cornwall, then book a trip back home to Scotland, wouldn't you use all the rail providers. I wouldn't think to book through Scotrail if I was in England. You get points for registering. It's surely up to the rail companies to allocate points..or not. Thanks to the OP. :-)

    On another note. Do all these rail companies get a single payout from the government as they're allegedly all one group, or do they get five bites of the pie. Mmmm

    Hmmm - it's been more than 28 days since I registered with these sites, and my Nectar account has had 200 points added to it from First group. SO who do I complain to to get the other points added?

    I got 600 points but still waiting for the others - I didn't sign up for all 5 at the same time though. I'm happy enough with that anyway if I don't get the rest, I've done pretty well lately for free points. Got nearly £20 on my card at the moment :)
