Signed up for auto transfer on both my OH's BAEC account and mine (which come out of a single nectar account) and this evening 40k NP were converted to Avios in her account and 3600 into mine, leaving just 108
So presume you cant decide how many go a week, they just empty the acc

I’ve found the ‘random’ bonus nectar points for using the app in store has stopped being so generous. I was regularly getting 300+ NPs a week just through this, I’m now lucky to get 70 NPs a week…

I've just had 2000 points convert to 1250 Avios.
Do it every month, so unless I've had some bonus from say an insurance policy, 2k-4k is usual.
Doesn't help, as in the above post, getting 70 points a week for shopping.

I've got a 5x points multiplier on spend over £150, in addition to some great bonus points (200 on pizza, 90 on orange juice etc). Does the multiplier work on just the base spend, or the bonus points as well?

Those multipliers will only work on the base spend unfortunately, otherwise I would be in heaven!

Still doing pretty well out of it, I got 200 Nectar points for a single wedge of Taste the Difference Parmesan last week - and £1 off with Nectar Prices! We consistently get bit points offers with Sainsbury's own cheese, plus a few wines, the Taste the Difference Primitivo being a regular. Other Sainsbury's/TTD mid price grocery items like ground coffee, olive oil etc seem pretty reliable too.

I'm surprised how consistent the offers have been overall, especially considering we only really darken their doorstep to take advantage of the Nectar offers (most of the rest of our shop is at Waitrose and Lidl...) - there are certainly some weeks that are better than others but there doesn't seem to be a downward trend as such.

Ive made another Nectar account and paired it with my husbands Avios to try and maximise the points. It works but the points do seem to be a lot of the same items. There's only so many boxes of cereal and orange squash I can stockpile.

An odd experience with my offers this week. Yesterday I got a paltry four offers and thought that this was the start of Sainsbury’s toning down my offers. This afternoon some more came through and this evening even more!

In the past they’ve always arrived in one go on a Wednesday morning.

I popped in tonight to get a few bits that ended today on my Mother's offers. Easy 450 points there (could have had 20 more but she hadn't added this morning's offers).
She got till spits for 3x points on the next shop; 500 points when spending £15 on Tu clothing; 400 points on a £15 kitchenware spend.

I just bought a couple of things using the scanner, one of which has never appeared on my offers. Got a double points coupon for petrol (now 144.9p)

Esso near me, that was 148.9 a week or so ago, before dropping the price by 1p twice in a week, put it back up to 149.9 yesterday and 150.9 today.
Got a 7x offer for them (so possibly 350 points for an extra £2.70ish + there's some offer on the Nectar app of 25,50,75 etc. points at Esso when you spend over £5. Not sure if the 25 points for a first spend will add on)

25, 50, 75 etc points at Esso are for spend in the shop rather than at the pump.

Do exercise caution with saving the partner offers as you see them as they don’t stack and you can’t get rid of them once they’re saved. Eg, I’ve got 3x points at Esso as my first offer, scroll down and there’s a 7x points offer, so make sure you always review the offers and then pick the ones you want!

I've got the 7x points saved as my first offer.
Won't use the 3x points one but will use the 2x points at Sainsbury petrol station next week.

Thanks for flagging this. I had another look at mine and had also gained some extras since Wednesday’s rather disappointing initial one.

I've had that a few times where offers filter through over a day.

Added: 1 offer for 10 points for a sausage roll just appeared (normally 10am).
Looks like it's going to be another week of 70 points tops.

Similar with me this week. On Wednesday the only offer I got was £1 off a £10 spend then Thursday morning the usual bunch of offers came through.

No new "my Nectar price" offers today.

Have had 6 points offers, 2 or 3 are the same as last week, which I haven't touched upon, and all are for 10 or 20 points once again.
These have been appearing at around 1 an hour.

Definitely 1 week in 4 where i get a decent number of points for a shop. Every other one is 70 or 80 tops.
