I've been saving up my nectar points in the hope of a double up promotion, but no sign of one this year. I can't see any deals worth doing, nothing like Tesco rewards, so am wondering whether to just cash tem in at Argos or Sainsbury's. Does anyone have any clever tricks or uses for them please? 🙏
I don't think I can hang on til Friday...

    I just saved them for over 20 years. I found I had enough for a return flight to Cuba: in business class!

    I spend mine on 5p off a litre at Esso for 300 pts.  Once over 30 litres it is returning above face value, my local Esso is the cheapest in town anyway, and 1 point per litre added back.
  • Thanks for suggestions - I guess the consensus is that there's no way of getting added value when spending them anymore. 25% off wine still costs the same, whether you use cash or Nectar points and flights are no doubt much more expensive than paying cash, unless you just see it as a stash for a treat sometime in future and aren't bothered about getting the best value from the points.
