Nectar points calculator
Calculate quickly how much your nectar points are worth in cash.
Get started with Nectar
Nectar is a great way to earn extra. Linked with Sainsbury and many other retailers. Nectar is a loyalty card scheme, that rewards you in the form of points when you shop at participating stores.
I always like to save up my nectar points each year and then use them for Christmas presents or food at either Sainsburys or Argos, but there is many other ways you can earn nectar points.
Shopping at these two partner sites each 500 nectar points is worth £2.50. These can easily be added up throughout the year as there are many places to earn from.

Amongst the partner offers there are also cashback type offers, so when you go to the link through the Nectar website and make your purchase normally, then your points will be paid within 90 days normally.

Would say though there may well be better cashback than these offers out here, so may be worth checking other sites as well as these offers. Offers such as Argos eBay etc, will be able to earn nectar points in addition to any cashback as it is an offer with the nectar card linked where as these above more traditional cashback links. So check which offer it is.
