There is many fewer Waitrose around though! Luckily we are blessed with M&S and Waitrose in vicinity of my abode

Perhaps this has been the case for some time, but I noted today that the app tells me transfers from Avios to Nectar shall take 12 days, whereas the other way is instant. I suppose this is to give a chance in the event of account hacks for the transfer to be stopped before the Nectar points are all spent.

There is a current in-app coupon promotion, mine was £5 off for £50

However, when got to till and clicked on the offer... no coupon!

Thankfully the woman at CS had seen it before earlier in the day and refunded me with cash

Before setting off, try clicking and see if the Barcode appears (you won't lose it if it does)

The Nectar offers rarely seem to work properly for me, and usually the store staff say something along the lines of 'nothing to do with us'.

I only had a £1.50 off a £10 spend though, so I didn't bother arguing back and just paid without the offer.

Were you a new subscriber to auto-transfer?
or had you activated it previously, then cancelled?

Raised a ticket via nectar website last Fri and today also got a 1,000 pts credit as they recognised there was initially a problem

I didn't keep a screenshot of the terms, so not sure when it is due (knowing Nectar will probably be "30 days from end date")

Whilst I would not normally bump a thread, I have discovered a rather curious rogue store...

At the Sainsbury's at Manchester Piccadilly railway station, any time you scan your nectar app either at a self service or a manned checkout position you will get an almost instant notification of bonus points on the scratch and win. At first I thought this was mere good look with buying a meal deal, but test purchases of things from a frozen pizza to a single tin of cat food have all awarded the scratch card bonus

So, get them whilst its still good - I have managed to collect over a thousand bonus in one week from there so far

no rogue
If you buy items not on your offer list, ie no bonus points, then you always get a scratch card (and tho most 'win' not 100%) ... so I occasionally hold an item back and pay separately
