    Mystery solved - just found the email. Its a bonus for using my nectar card to pay for something from Argos back in November.
    Quite neat actually. I bought something for £17 odd and I used a £10 Argos gift card which came from sun+ months and months back, £5 in nectar points and the rest in cash :)


    Ive also in the process of checking my nectar cards and the little used one - I use it for maybe a £1 purchase per week to get any till spits that it might have - didn't even have any for months on end.

    Its had 500 nectar points added on December 11th, no idea why just says e rewards so it could be anything.

    Nectar are always sending you emails saying things like buy xxxx and be entered into a draw to win zillion points etc - I've got one recently and the stipulation is to buy a whiskas sachet.
    so it might be something like that.

    Or maybe its one of the insurance date reminder things

    its only worth £2.50 but still better than nothing and its worth checking your nectar account

    I got a couple of those last year, Ok for presents but not very exciting.

    Also I got a mishapes bag from Home bargains for £1 and it had the exact same Thorntons chocs in it :eek:

    Also just checked OHs nectar account which is linked to the Oxfam green tag scheme - everytime you take something into Oxfam you attach a green sticker with a number on it and if anything sells you some nectar points added to your account.

    Before we went AWOL we took a box and some bags into our Oxfam, a couple of trips. In fact I've started another box of bric a brac to take in today, trying to be ruthless.

    anyway I looked at OHs nectar and he has had added 100 points for joining the scheme plus points for (at least) 3 sales worth a total of nearly £80 - this is fabulous :T

    I have lots of dd and want to get them gift cards for christmas. Do you know who is doing best deals for females e.g next cards please.

    If you can get hold of the current Tesco magazine there is a voucher in the mag for extra clubcard points when you buy £50 worth of gift cards but it doesn't have to be as a £50 card, you just need to spend £50 in one transaction. Sorry I haven't got anymore info as I can't find the magazines down our way.
