As a Caffé Nero regular, I've stopped converting my points to Avios (and I've kept the 50,000 Nectar points that I converted over just before the last devaluation). I'm currently getting well over >1p per Nectar point based on using 350 points per drink at Nero.
So as long as that offer continues, Nectar is a better day to day program for me. Especially as I'm collecting about 6-700 bonus points per week.

We've got a Greggs, though, and KLM flies from our local airport.

I accidentally converted Avois to Nectar in the Nectar app when I was trying to convert Nectar to Avios... is there a way to cancel/reverse?
Tried calling Nectar but they're not open after 5pm on a Friday...
Tried calling BAEC, "sorry we're taking more calls than usual and can't put you through to anyone right now" *line disconnects*

Nectar Connect Closing
Just received this email from Nectar (UK relevant)
Nothing more in the FAQs. The Nectar Connection section seems to have disappeared from the app already. Shame really, I've collected quite a few points via connect.
You can still add offers via this link https://www.nectar.com/nectar-connect
Hey John, We wanted to let you know that Nectar Connect is coming to an end on 27 October – this is the last date you can collect points on Nectar Connect offers.
For more information please visit our FAQs Best regards,
The Nectar Team

I had the same email and its gone off the homepage on the website version too
However, use your history search on whatever browser you use and get to it that way - I have even got two new ones today, so its not entirely finished yet...

Sainsbury's offers
I usually get my offers (bonus nectar points on items) on a Friday and are valid for 7 days, so are still valid the following Friday if unused
Just opened the app and the unused offers from last week have gone and today's fresh offers only valid for 6 more days :-(

As for the Daily Mail promotion you’re effectively buying Avios for 0.8p and may also get some other Nectar bonuses before the partnership ends. It’s not enough to tempt me into subscribing to that rag, but if you do need the points you can at least feel happy in the knowledge that this promotion is a loss leader and as long as you remember to cancel you’re unlikely to be contributing to their profits.

It seems to have changed on Wednesday. My offers change over on a Wednesday and last weeks were still showing as expiring on Wednesday as I used one of them but the new ones expire on Tuesday next.
The Nectar prices using smart shop which show on the app are also now showing the same. My new ones land on a Friday and these all expire next Thursday.

I did this last year. Spoke to both BA and Nectar - submitted complaint - answer each time to convert back in app and lose some avios as “your error”

I sent an online request to BA to halt the transfer, they eventually responded that they can’t stop it and suggested to contact to Nectar.
Raised it with Nectar and they of course said the only option is to wait for the points to arrive and then transfer back and accept the loss. They then gave me 200 nectar points as “goodwill” to cover my loss of 8000 Avois….
