What to do with Nectar points
As an inveterate eBayer, I accumulate a lot of Nectar points.
Before Granny govt stepped in, one could spend them at Laithwaites.
Has anyone found a good use for Nectar points?

Re: What to do with Nectar points
Once a year I use the Sainsburys Double Up scheme and take 10000 points and get £100 of wine. 14 bottles this year, I'm not proud.

Re: What to do with Nectar points
A simple option is to use them on ebay for purchases over £10. It may not be the best value option but it is easy.

They can be used one for one in Sainsbury's. Unlike Tesco Clubcard, two for one offers are rare, time and goods limited. The "free wine offer" as mentioned above was the best and possibly only recent one.

Re: What to do with Nectar points
Hmm, I have >£130 of nectar points from Sainsbury's.... just waiting for a decent double up offer. Spending them on the weekly shop seems like a waste given that they are 0.5p per £1 spent on shopping (so I've spent £26k in Sainsbrains since I got the card..gulp)

Not quite the reply you'd expect but when I was involved as an Executor, I went to their FAQ and found:
"When someone dies, we can transfer the points onto a different account. To do this we require the legal heir to contact us and confirm the deceased collector's full name and date of birth."
Filled in an online form and, having answered some questions via an automated email response system, they transferred some 20,000 to my account within 4 days of applying and I paid the Estate for them. No idea how they were used as my joint card holder used them, probably by knocking them off the Sainsbury shop as others have mentioned.
That option still exists per their FAQ but who knows if Nectar will still be around potentially to benefit your beneficiaries but mention it in passing!

Re: What to do with Nectar points
I use them when I want to buy something at Argos.
I didn't know that you could use them on eBay - so that will be useful.

This year though, they have cancelled it, saying not enough people used it. They did however keep it a near secret and made it difficult to use with narrow time windows to apply.
