Thankfully I also have Waitrose and Lidl within walking distance so it’s easy enough.

How long has it been taking for Avios -> Nectar transfers? Did one last week and they're still not through.

Not going out of my way at weekends now to acquire the papers for the codes.
Anyway, after 2 or 3 weeks of 60-80 points, got 900+ this week, mostly on items I buy, and those items were on the shelves for a change. A couple had the "my Nectar prices" as well.

Some mention of a 20 points bonus that could be if you enter 7 codes?

I get the Mail if I spend Ł10 in Waitrose, it's really not worth it otherwise, though there was a survey a few weeks ago which provided a few extra points, or will if they ever get credited. From the number of times I get a "code already used" it would appear some dedicated points collectors have another method.

Latest things on my app are the chance to win one of 350 prizes from 2500 to 50k Avios if you auto-convert at least 400 Nectar points to Avios between Feb and May.
Also 2x points on your shopping until the 28th Feb when you sign up to auto-convert (May have to keep this in place for at least a further 28 days?)
I usually convert once a month anyway, so it's no problem for me (although this might be a weekly conversion, and subject to some limits).

also, the terms say min 400 a month, but isnt the auto conversion only weekly at a min of 400??
- I didn't get an option to only move an amount on monthly basis

I'm back to my usual 10 or 20 points, 70-80 total, this week.
Do have an offer for 3x points in store, which I won't use as it expires on Thursday and my next offers come in on Friday. Expecting 70 points total once again, and the following week.
