According to Head for Points it’s supposed to be instant now but reports in the comments section say otherwise:

Yes, I never understood why HfP said that. The 'security' explanation hasn't changed just because the exchange rate has. Given that it requires 2FA to authorise, I don't see why waiting a further 10 days after approval makes a difference.

It was instant on the day we wrote that article. My best guess is that whilst migrating the transfer page to a new platform they had to cull the security block. I moved a large chunk myself and it was instant. Now it isn't.
Probably good news given the number of stolen BAEC account passwords for sale …..

This has been happening for weeks for me. Try doing it on a desktop/laptop instead of mobile - that did the trick for me. But I had to disconnect my accounts and reconnect before I could transfer points.

The Big Points Bonanza - ended
Did anybody win a significant number of Nectar points in last week's prize draw?
I won nothing during the week, and a whopping 10 Nectar Point on the Saturday guaranteed win!

I didn't get a voucher either. Could have been technical issues', but in my local Sainsbury's till spit printers quite often don't work. I can hear it starts to print and then red lights come on. Or are already in from the start. I've told staff, but been told that there's nothing they can/will do about it.

Nothing for myself (as of yet).
Thought they might have given a date for a second gobat this. Sure it will anniy some people, but it will probably get extra footfall for themselves, and people will be happy with a voucher.
Suppose it depends onnhow many people were aware of, or were that bothered.
My Nectar partner offers, that are usually 39 or so, have been at 15 the last week, and dropped to 2 today.
