I've had the same, and I think you're right. The amount removed is half the bonus added in August, which I remember thinking seemed... high based on my usual spend. So yes, it seems they awarded x2 points by mistake, rather than x1 extra points. Still a bit mean, mind.
This is the same for me. I think it was supposed to be double points on shopping at Sainsburys for 30days after converting at least 400NP to Avios. Seems they may have meant the usual Nectar thing of double points means the same number of NP as the base transactions. But separately, the day before yesterday I had a mystery number of points added which had the text "Sainsbury's email bonus points" so thus far I am up.
I think that's the generic BA phone number... I'm not going to join that queue.

I did send a question to Nectar on Saturday what was up with the clawback. They just got back to me with "We have checked your query and it appears that a points reversal for exactly half the amount that was given on 12/08/2022. For further investigation, we would request you to get in touch with the BA team directly at 01244120715.".

Had points removed yesterday as well. The number doesn't match any other transaction but it's exactly 50% of the BA bonus reward that was added to the account on August 12th.
Was there same double points promo running in June/July and if so what were the conditions?

It's not worth the palaver to me to chase down.

Saw this on HfP - Avios to Nectar conversion rate devalued!
Looks like bad news for those converting into Nectar from Avios but it isn't all bad as Nectar to Avios rate remains the same. Although I do wonder how long it'll last as I can't imagine those at Sainsbury's / Nectar are very happy with how this has played out.

Just checked my app. Two offers - spend £40 in-store and get triple nectar points and spend £120 online and get triple nectar points. Both valid for 6 days.
I had a £130 delivery this morning, damn it!

I've got 3x points when I spend £20, although I generally spend a few £ on my bonus offers.
Have got a 1000 points for a £30 spend on clothing and my mother got 750 on a £20 spend. Possibly combinable.
Did find a couple of 300 points for a £7 clothing spend yesterday, so if all 4 work, nice
