“gocompare.com cheaper than confused.com”
Written on: 17/04/2013 by flounder20
gocompare the market.com was £10 cheaper on my bike insurance than Confused.com. Confused.com was offering 2000 nectar points worth around £10. So the value of the points is worthless, just by using Gocompare.com. What a swizz Swinton insurance was not offered on Confused.com (read more)

“On line and in store points do not match my receipt”
Written on: 16/03/2013 by bfgp (1 review written)
I have used my local Sainsbury's in Kingswood, Bristol for over 12 years. A couple of years ago I logged in online to the nectar site and was stunned by the difference between the cash value my recipt from the store said, and the value online - the store receipt was massively more than the on line page said. I went through the usual tortuous complaints procedure and everything was restored. $ days ago I went in and bought a small purchase for about £18 and just out of interest I asked... (read more)

“Nectar just got a whole lot less appealing”
Written on: 15/03/2013
Amazon.co.uk is no longer one of the Nectar eshops. Nectar website implies it was their decision to drop Amazon when they did a routinem periodic review of their partners. I for one would rather have Amazon as a source of nectar points than the majority of the others they have kept or added, including ebay. (read more)

“No card security - waste of time”
Written on: 28/02/2013 by Ahouseholder (1 review written)
For years I had been saving points on Nectar when I brought petrol at BP and the occasional shop at Sainsburys. Recently I noticed that 5500 points had been spent that I am not aware of. I emailed the Nectar support about this and they wrote back saying the payment went to a local Argos shop. I have replied that this is fraud as I have my card and am not aware of this payment they should verify with Argos if any credit/debit card was used for the additional payment. Nectar support then...

“NECTAR NEEDING VAST IMPROVEMENT”
Written on: 17/02/2013 by purplelily (1 review written)
Not impressed at all by Nectar. Have been using it mainly for Amazon purchases (which they no longer allocate points for) and Homebase purchases. I now use it for Ebay as that is the only way to get any sort of cashback for Ebay purchases. Until recently, I always used TopCashback for my ebay purchases until TopCashback and Ebay parted ways. The points you receive with Nectar in relation to amount spent is very minimal compared to TopCashback. I find that quite often I cannot sign into... (read more)

Had some points to use so tried to book flights with Easyjet. Booked the flights with no problem. However, Nectar suddenly decided to cancel the whole thing after my payment went through. They took my money out of my account (had to use Visa debit card, credit card not allowed)and only put it back 2 days later. They tried to say that perhaps the flight was full or something in which case why take my money. Had to book again but went through Easyjet this time by which time the price of the... (read more)

I have been using nectar for years now. I have my ebay and british gas account connected to it and use both alot. I have since started using Topcashback and found money wise you get alot more back using topcashback compared to nectar even if the wait is longer. I have found it takes ages for some points to be added. Just-eat and disney store have taken well over the time stated. But points wise one a purchase of £209.00 from ebay using nectar I got 209 points works out to under £1.25!... (read more)

When Nectar points began we got a lot more for our points.

Problem experienced with ARGOS direct at present. I cannot seem to collect nectar points on their products and it is infuriating! I have tried contacting Nectar and Argos - not got anywhere with either.
Sort out the website link ARGOS - it's more than annoying in the lead up to Christmas and means regular customers are losing out on their points!
Message that arrives when trying to link to Nectar is:
Sorry we have had a problem with the link you've just selected.
To start shopping, please visit the Argos homepage by clicking on the link below.
(If I did would mean NO POINTS as it is not through the nectar link)

I've been collecting Nectar points for several years, always filling up the car at Sainsburys and BP garages but the points seem to accumulate slowly - When you eventually do have enough points to actually treat yourself to something, the places to spend are limited and if you make a mmistake when you convert your points, don't expect any help or understanding from Sainsburys. They didn't make it clear that you can ony use 1 voucher per transaction on Sainsburys Entertainment so I converted... (read more)

Have just tried to convert points into Amazon vouchers....received confirmation email from Nectar but no vouchers (its now a week passed). Called helpline who told me (I think, given the dialect) to call Amazon. Amazon, very helpful, told me to call Nectar. After explaining that Nectar had instructed me to call Amazon I was told to call Nectar and check whether this was the correct. Gave up at this point. (read more)

That is the whole point. Neither Nectar or the companies funding the scheme are even interested in answering their customer's queries. They are using the scheme to attract sales, they couldn't care less whether you have received the advertised points or not. Neither party will even respond to your queries. This is thoroughly ignorant to THEIR OWN CUSTOMERS, hence my previous review of Nectar. I fail to understand why the Office of Fair Trading are not looking into this scheme.

Not impressed at all by Nectar. Have been using it mainly for Amazon purchases which they no longer allocate points for and Homebase purchases. The points you receive in relation to amount spent is very minimal compared to TopCashback which I used for Ebay until they ended their relationship with them. I find that quite often I cannot sign into Nectar for one reason or another, either it is down for maintenance or I just cannot sign in! Is this a money-saving exercise to avoid having to give out as many points? I use ebay less now as a result. I also use Amazon less as I can find similar items at comparable prices and still get my cashback via TopCashback which makes them cheaper in the long run.

I ordered a winter meat order off Nectar Daily Deals over a week ago. It cost £39 £10 for transport. My debit card was debited immediately as you would expect. However, the meat has yet to arrive and it was promised - in writing - within 24 hours! Beward buyers - there is no contact number, no name of the butchery, nothing.

I have also ordered goods through Nectar daily deals, one was from Fungy pig for wallets, the other jewelry from Lily nicole. I have paid for both to Nectar Daily deals and postage and have still not received any of the goods. This is since August and September. I have tried to contact all three of them with little results. Now in December and still no goods or refund of money. BIG CON!!!!!

Hi, I finally got the meat, even after I demanded a cancellation. I think it is appalling how Nectar completely detach themselves from this quite frankly. Just keep hammering Nectar themselves and threaten them with anything. I used BBC Watchdog as a threat and it made them suddenly reply to me!

Twice now, having thoroughly read all of the small print aka 'Important Information', I have placed orders via Nectar estores only for them to fail to award my reward points. When chased up, they claim that they have no record of a 'unique identification number which allows us to track the sale and credit the points'. They also make no apology for this fact, and imply that it's the customers fault for following their own instructions. (read more)

I have held a Nectar card for some years now and more recently have fond many companies are no longer part of the scheme and companies like the AA, EDF Energy and Debenhams are part of those no longer part of the Nectar scheme. Companies like Ford, I believe are part of the scheme and of course Sainsbury’s I believe still are but the companies accepting Nectar keep changing and I now find collecting Nectar points very difficult as I don't deal with Ford or shop t Sainsbury’s very often.

I cannot tell you how many times I've had to contact Nectar in Bangalore, Trivandrum, or New Delhi (I'm not always certain), to ask them to either correct posting errors, chase missing points, or resolve bizarre postings to which I'm not even due credits.

Given that Sainsbury's try to position Nectar as almost their own loyalty card I would say that it's pretty disappointing.

If there is a different loyalty scheme available to you, join it instead of Nectar. Like so many others I've had problems getting points added to my account when I click through to retailers using their website. Nectar refuse to add the points to my account despite my showing them the purchases made. One of which was supposed to be on double points at the time and was quite a substantial purchase. This is the most disappointing loyalty card scheme around with the worst customer service. (read more)

Maureen Hopkin AGAIN. Now 7 weeks from referral to local investigations team and NO communication whatsoever. Months and not weeks are going by without any answers. Have been advised to go via Trading Standards to report Nectar but as all these problems are occuring in Sainsburys Stores, at their tills, etc, it will have to be double complaint. I think I have given Nectar and Sainsbury's fair time to investigate and reply now. I urge all Nectar card holders to be aware because if you have any problems, they won't be sorted. Incidentally I wont enter a Sainsburys store again, If I am only the tip of the iceberg, maybe someone in authority will eventually sort out the problems?.

I too have just experienced a similar problem and am being fobbed off by both Nectar and Expedia. I'm not sure how much further I am able to take this, but I urge others to avoid using Expedia if they are hoping to gain points. I had obviously made a purchase on the site so there is just no reason why they can't add them retrospectively when their website is at fualt.

Nectar are the lowest of the lowest. (read more)

“Nectar points are a great idea, you shop in certain...”
Written on: 04/11/2009
Nectar points are a great idea, you shop in certain places (Sainsbury, BP) and are rewarded with points. Over a period of a year they can add up to a fair amount.
Unfortunately Nectar have little in the way of security as we discovered to our cost. We had saved about £120 worth of points over a year, when shopping in Sainsbury's recently we discovered someone had helped themselves to 23000 points (£115). At first the call centre staff (based in India) didn't have an answer, I guess it...

Written on: 09/10/2009
Although using Sainsbury's for the main shopping is more expensive than some stores, at least the Nectar points can be used to offset costs like the Christmas shop! I use my card every time I fill up at the garage as well! Over the year I accumulated about £30.00 just from the fuel alone. I had over £60 in total last Christmas. Free, easy to use - daft not to really! (Also be cheeky when at the checkout somebody says they don't have a card, ask if they wouldn't mind if you had their points -... (read more)

I've had a Nectar card since it replaced the Sainsbury's Reward Card. I had £50 worth of rewards on my Sainsbury's card but Nectar conveniently lost all the details of this when it was transferred so I lost out on those rewards. I've recently found that my Nectar card is no longer registered and so new points are not added to it and, once again, all the points I've collected over the years have disappeared. I've just had a chat with the Nectar Chatline, but the only response I got from... (read more)

The Nectar Card scheme needs to be closely monitored and if you are not prepared to monitor your points online at nectar.com then you may be missing out.
In the past three months I have signed up to three bonus offers and not received the points within 28 days and had to contact Nectar to get them rewarded (Sainsburys and Thomson Local).
Similarly Hertz only awarded normal points even though I signed up to triple points.
I have also not received points from Beefeater at all when my card...

Written on: 01/04/2009 by nintendonut
To get any value out of Nectar Card you really have to play the game. If you are only going to use it when you shop at Sainsbury's then you could be waiting a very long time to get any value back. As a sainsbury's reward card I'd give it 1 out of 10.
The smart people use their Nectar card at BP, EDF Energy, Nectar Wine Club (not a bad scheme) and Nectar eStores (you get points on your online shopping at Amazon, eBay and about 200 more online retailers).
If you want to boost your points even...

Janebrooks11's Response to Sainsburysmyarse's Review
Written on: 24/12/2012
i totally agree with the "waste of time" comment. im going back to tesco for my petrol and shopping. i have had so many problems with my card being blocked, then i asked for key fobs which they totally ignored and after a very lenghtly conversation with nectar customer service 2 weeks ago was told that all was sorted and that next time i shopped at sainsburys i would be able to redeem my nectar points against my shopping (over £30 on there) well guess what i went into sainsburys today was told everything is fine at customers services and once i am the till i am told the card is blocked - so i cannot redeem my £30 against my shopping by the way its christmas eve, if it was any other day i would of left the shopping trolley there full of food and gone to Tesco. but once again i had spend more money for nothing - No more sainsburys shopping for me, not more spending £60.00 per week on petrol at sainsbury and definately no more NECTAR.
