    I tried that, but got 2207 results. Not sure I fancy wading through all that 😬


    And I've sorted points low:high and 1000 points was definitely the starting point 🤷‍♀️?

    I wonder if that's the reason? I get paid £3 per survey and have been a member for years now. I know some who have been members longer still get £5 per survey. So perhaps they have changed payments/rewards?

    Yes, it does sound like it, as I'm only getting £1 a time 🙁! Oh well, will see how I feel when I reach the magic 1000 points (if I ever reach it 🤷‍♀️!)

    How is everyone getting on with the Nectar Count up to Christmas challenge this year? It feels harder this time, can't see how I'm going to complete it 🤔!

    Completed it last week (basically did 2 weekly shops hitting my usual bonus point items) 🤷🏻‍♂️ Wasn't worth much but nearly up to £100 in Nectar for the year 👍🏻

    I finished in October, I did use all the bonus points offers that were relevant including X times for spending Y, without those I too would have been struggling.
