i used to pre book games at tesco just for the points. by the time they trebled them for p&o cruises. i got a very cheap cruise. i did do the visa card paypal trick at the same time.

Same here, and the odd cd at Christmas time, but not for a cruise. Trips away, meals out, large household items on double up etc

Also remember buying a lot of nappies & H & B items - don't think I spent much 'real' money though, used a lot of coupons :rotfl:

I've just looked at my nectar and for the £1.20 journey made via LNER on October 30th I've already had the bonus 1000 points awarded on November 22nd :j

Is this a world record?

OHs account is the same - points awarded already

So that has replaced the 1000 points I spend on both nectars for 10 hot drinks from Neros - so in theory a total £2.40 spent for about £34 worth of drinks (hot chocolate worth about £3.15 x 11 including the loyalty card bonus drink)

Has everyone had their LNER points already from the end of October train trips?

Yup. Both virgin and LNER went on this week with no chasing needed.

The GWR site at least gives notice of bonus nectar points during the booking process and this is confirmed on your email receipt and so far get added in a couple of days. Have you started with GWR yet?

anyone that booked gwr yesterday, are your points showing in your nectar account yet. i just got my 1st 5 tickets

nope not yet x

lesliejack

anyone entering the codes from the Mail each day for Nectar points, there is an offer for a free box of luxury mince pies if you redeem 5 nectar points
coupon sent by email
valid only in Iceland until Tuesday x

On the minus side though I am sure I did the Virgin train offer at the same time and neither account even have the purchase showing - is that the same for everyone?

My account has a new LNER bonus for 750 points valid until mid December - still worth doing for a £1.20 spend if these bonus points get awarded so quickly.

Neither of us have an new Virgin or GNW offers.

The miserable 250 points from the Argos shop either - I know some people got 1000 points - did anyone receive them.
This was the code that came with the targeted email on September 21st so its now been over 60 days depending on when you made and collected your order.

Not started doing GWR yet - having technical difficulties.

Main computer is still trying to download over 5000 emails that arrived while we were away and its a slow process.
I've had to reset my GWR password by the time the email password rest has actually arrived I've wondered off to do something else.
(Just for convenience I am making sure that my nectar email address and GWR are the same)

Once I've done the Q orders I will go instead via the My Sky email website
