They're just some sort of group loyalty card aren't they? Only time I think I come across them is telling BP cashiers I don't have one.

Reason I ask is that I seem to have received Sainsburys vouchers for one, in my name, at my address. I've had a fair few mobile phones ordered in the last few years, though none recently, by people playing at ID fraud. Is this something I need to ring up about or are they just spamming me because I've bought some BP petrol?

ETA: Thread title fail. Sorry.

It's Sainsburys loyalty card.

I always get asked for one at my local Co op.

Nectar seemingly get a good rep for being able to use points, but if you're worried about commercial organisations gathering personal data then they're one to avoid.

It started I think with Sainsburys. But now there are all sorts of companies using it, I get points from British Gas among others.

You need to wear one of these.

Nectar generally dont send vouchers. You simply redeem the points using the card at Sainsbury's.

I think it's worth having, especially if you spend a lot on petrol (though Tesco's clubcard points are worth more, even if it does mean you have to shop at Tesco)

And Argos plus online for a whole pile of things including Eurostar tix.

I bought my latest PC from Argos with Nectar points then "tuned" it with SSD, more memory etc....

Got £190 worth at the moment, may need to spend them soon ;-)

We've just received a book of them for our Nectar cards.

I'm pretty sure you don't.

Mines tied in to my eBay account, so I get a point for every £1 I spend on there, they do double points weekends quite frequently as well.

Yes, it was originally Sainsbury's in-house loyalty card. Gone far beyond that now. BG & BP are just two of the companies offering Nectar points. There are many more - http://www.nectar.com/NectarHome.nectar

I've had Nectar points at a co-op before.
