I was considering getting a nectar card to gain points as I buy a lot on eBay. eBay are offering me 900 points for a past purchase if I sign up now. As I have a small business I recon this could be worth about £120 to me a year. However-

-How long will this scheme last
-If I pay off the credit card at the end of every month do I pay interest
-And it there anything else I need to know

Thanks

    You can have a Nectar card without it being connected to a credit card. It's basically a Sainsbury's loyalty card.

    My nectar card is only a loyalty card, I have no credit facility. I have 2 main ebay buying accounts and it's linked to both accounts and automatically collects my points when I buy anything.

    That's strange, mine won't let me link to two accounts, so I had to disconnect it from one, and connect to the other.

    eBay usually hate me, but I had no issues at all linking it to both, it was a while ago though.

    Mine is linked to my 2 buying accounts too. Handy when Sainsbury's do double up vouchers from points on [STRIKE]wine [/STRIKE]certain departments. :)

    How long does it take for the points to update on Nectar. I signed up to Nectar on the 23rd and eBay promised to give me 900 for something I already bought plus I should have got 100 points for linking my Nectar and eBay account but I've got no points showing.

    Any idea why?
