not sure wether to get these, think I'll sleep on it

Hot :stuck_out_tongue:

Keep checking your Nectar statement though because they did this last year and I didn't get the points added to had to get customer services to so it.

There's an offer in my local Argos of 2 bags of sweets (Maltesers, M&Ms, Twixes) etc £1.98 a bag or two for £3, that would go well with this if you want a bit of chocolate for Christmas.

Previous time the offer was live:

the new website sometimes makes it impossible to check that points have been added as you can only see 1 months transactions i.e. when points are added if the original transaction date is over 1 month ago you cannot see the addition
the work around is to access the old website via this link - the old website allows you to see much further back in time

Cheers, I've screenshot the offer loaded to card. Forever having problems with Nectar. Heat.

To qualify for the bonus Nectar points offer you must click 'Load to card', and redeem at least 500 Nectar points with Argos between 17 December and 23 December 2015 (inclusive). Qualifying Collectors will receive 1,000 points back into their account by 20 January 2016. This offer applies only to the first Argos redemption of 500 points or more made during the Offer Period. There is no cash alternative. Nectar points can only be redeemed in-store only. Only one Nectar card can be used per transaction. Points cannot be redeemed and vouchers cannot be used in conjunction with any other offer, promotion or discounted rate, unless otherwise stated. For full Terms & Conditions visit nectar.com/spend/argos. This offer is also subject to Argos Terms & Conditions visit argos.co.uk/Terms-and-conditions for details.

When redeemed in store at Sainsbury's, each Nectar point is worth 0.5p – so 1,000 points equates to £5

Before you get too excited.

I got 24000 points stolen off my card two days ago! Happy xmas to me... Check your balances people...

Nice .. now need to find something worth £2.50 ... Hmm ... Any Suggestions.

eBay snatched 497 off me too, no idea why. They are supposed to be writing to me but haven't been arsed as per usual.

There's an offer in my local Argos of 2 bags of sweets (Maltesers, M&Ms, Twixes) etc £1.98 a bag or two for £3, that would go well with this if you want a bit of chocolate for Christmas.

not sure wether to get these, think I'll sleep on it

Remember, you have to OPT IN to this offer and "load it to your card" via the nectar website.

heat thanks op

They sell lovely things for £1 like wipes, kids cars similar to hot wheel, and more

Thank you :smiley: heat added

Thank you.

'Points cannot be redeemed and vouchers cannot be used in conjunction with any other offer, promotion or discounted rate, unless otherwise stated' - Does this mean you can't use the points towards discounted items from Argos, so full price items only?

Sorry for the derp but how do i spend the 500 points? Couldn't find a payment option on argos for nectar.

Anyone want to try ordering the white doors for delivery? :smile: £0.01 seems like a good price (can't view product info but can add to cart)

Hot from me although I'm sure the Politically Correct Brigade would have something to say about the 'Housewife Pillowcases' I've just ordered.
Offer is for collect in store, use your Nectar Card in the machine the same as you would a Debit/Credit card, you'll get a receipt showing 500 points used/deducted.
I too have screen dumped the page showing the offer Loaded to my Card.

Last time this was on I bought a £2.50 gift card...

brilliant, can get 2.50 of the friends lego set posted earlier now aha.
collecting tomorrow.

Damn forgot all about nectar and just collected three orders in the last two days!!

Thanks you .....:smiley: HOT

" To spend instore o n last minute gifts"

Nice one. Just sorted mine out!

The assistant at first thought that was below the minimum value for a gift card. Got the bonus points ok.

No, in fact I've just checked and you can't order less than a £10 gift card online. In any case you can only spend Nectar points in store.

I wanted to clarify the Ts and Cs about using this in conjuction with other offers and such as I wasn't sure whether they meant Nectar offers or Argos offers.
I've just had an online chat with Nectar, who haven't been very helpful at all, and it seems like you will only be eligible for the 1000 bonus points if you buy a full priced item : " Yes, you need to purchase the item which is not discounted. "

Brilliant, had an item reserved to pick up today so used nectar card plus a free £5 Giftcard from the other weeks promotion they had, HOT Thanks op :smiley:

I had over 50000 clubcard points stolen, someone bought a hudl on double up. Tesco were great and refunded them, I'm surprised they couldn't do anything for you :disappointed:

I got free 500 bonus points voucher to scan so be need to buy anything :smiley:

heat

Always swipe your own Nectar card in Sainsbury's stores as this is how they were stolen from my mam's card! The assistant took her nectar card but swiped a one from under the counter!!! Luckily she checked her receipt & went to customer service straight away only to be told they don't show up straight away it takes a few hours for the points to show! My mam then bought a paper & some sweets from the cashier & promptly showed her the new nectar points added to her total!! The points were refunded to her nectar card & the member of staff is still working there so they are obviously not bothered.

Thanks op..loaded to card :smile:

Super deal - you beat me to it by a few mins in posting this - super heat :smiley:

Thanks OP, loaded and pillowcases reserved :smiley:

I've just gone back over 12 months (and could have gone further) on the new web-site

Great deal, Remaining £80 balance about to be rinsed on a Microsoft Band 2.

Posted this last year and they had the heat nerfed, I wuz robbed!

I had 10,000 points stolen off my nectar card (£50) by a transaction in Argos in
North London. Got them refunded after having suggested my next call would be to the police, local press, watchdog etc! Check your balance!

So, you spend £2.50 and get £5.00 back !

why is it when I order a new card it never shows up

I hear a lot less from this supposed PC brigade than I do from the paranoid delusional PC brigade haters sadly :smirk:

There you have it in 1 post...I'm in :laughing:

A Hearing Aid maybe?

Thanks OP :smiley:

This is annoying as I ordered a nectar card about 10 days ago and still hasn't arrived. missed out on the 10x points at Sainsburys and now this as well. :disappointed:

So you buy instore redeeming 500 points and receive 1000 points once loaded to your card?

Sorry to hear that. I had about £150 stolen about two months ago and luckily managed to get it back. A lot of calls and chasing up got me my points back. Now I have updated my account to prevent points being spent from cards which you can. Try as hard as you can to prove with customer services and escalate the issue with you have to.

good deal, free money

Does it require to be extactly 500 points or 500+ will also do?

what else is £2.50.. Anyone got any ideas (apart from pillowcases and shower curtains)

Experimented a bit with the Argos search string. This link (below) may help locate suitable items (£3 and less) across the various catalogue categories....

http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Browse/c_1/1%7Ccategory_root/r_001/5%7CPrice%7C0.0+%3C%3D+%3C%3D+3.00%7C2.htm

Hmmmm... Copy link to Browser, don't click 'cos it gets mangled

Copying the link to browser only brings me to a page like this

Even copying it doesn't work. Just takes you to the Argos homepage

Worth doing - they did this same promotion a few months ago iirc.
:smiley:

Actually it does work, u just click on any of the categories and they are all up to £3.00....Thanks!

And when you click on a category, are the prices less than £3?....

Buy a gift card for £2.50

Just to re-iterate, the guy on the Nectar online help said that the item you buy needs to be full price to qualify for the 1000 point bonus. I'm going to try again and hopefully speak to someone else tomorrow as I wasn't entirely convinced he knew what he was talking about.

3 different Galaxy bars...£2.72

Thanks

This prompted me to check my statement, as the points from the last offer in September have not been added. I know I spent a 1000 points to get X amount back. But they have not been added to my account. I've fired off an Email to NECTAR.

There was nothing on the receipt at all about nectar points so the card that had been swiped was a dummy of some sort! Thieves are very clever and have ways & means of doing things without leaving a trace so I don't know what the dummy card was being used for or how it didn't leave a trace on the receipt!

True...

[Edit]
Actually.. no. Now i can see 1000 points from last time - apparently it was added but much later than promised

I've never bought anything from Argos with Nectar before. Does it automatically take as many points as you have (assuming you have enough) or can you use 500 points and pay the rest in cash?

Here's some heat... awesome deal!

just got my 1000 points from the gourmet society offer so I can do this now :smiley:

Nectar's website link for this offer

https://www.nectar.com/offers/RWARG09885

Did you get them back?

I didn't even think to try to be honest. By the time I realised they been taken it was months after they had been used. It sounds like from other comments I should have tried though. I hope you have some luck getting yours back.

Thank you :-) Merry X-mas

This email comes the day after I have spent all my 2500 points yesterday in Argos!!
Still hot.

You too :smiley:

Bwahahah - I just looked into Nectar again today and it seems the offer is available for me. I'm sure it wasn't the other day, excellent, I'll reserve something now :smiley:

Got the 2x Halloween Lego figures :smile:

Just effectively got 4x monsters minifigures for 96p :smiley:

Just effectively got 4x monsters minifigures for 96p :smiley:

Doh....I reserved a bed sheet for £2.50 and when I went to pay it was £2.99, thought my head was wrong so paid the extra and then on my way home checked and its £2.50 on the site. Do they usually charge more to London people? I'll email them to ask.

Argos sell plenty of £1 ish stuff near the tills, ready to pick up.

Why is everyone aiming for stuff that is £2.50? Effectively you get £5 free? Spend 1000 points, get 1000 points.

Thanks just reserved an item, just a matter of figuring out how to use the points in store

Can anyone beat my 64k of points?

purchased battlefield 4 for Xbox 360 £2.99 CeX give you £2 or £3 exchange.

Wow someone is in for taking tonight

I've not got a nectar card I've only got the mini key fob type card. Can this be used in argos or do I need a full sized nectar card?

Reserved, thanks !

Thanks, good find !

Almost everything is on sale or has a previous price

Last time I bought a reduced item and the points were automatically added. How does Nectar know if the item is reduced? They don't.

FFS I've requested a new card on the website the final message it gives me is that my old card and fobs are now cancelled and cannot be used! I wouldnt have requested a new one if this was the outcome!.

So now I've got a new card number but no cards. Do you know if argos can type in manually my new card number? As I now dont even have a fob to use.

maybe contact online with nectar.com, tell them you would like to get this deal and explain the situation

ask them if you could submit a copy of the receipt to them so they could add the point for you manually

I suppose they could type in anyone's number so I dont think they will.
Seriously though. This is to gain a £2.50 product. Just move on and don't worry about it.

so I bought an item used £2.50 worth of points and the remainder using cash. When will the bonus points come through

Says at the top, post 1, or something... The first one. It's 28 days, and I think last time they did take ages to load it, don't recall anyone saying it was done in a few days.

tbh I wouldn't trust them to do this. their website has to be one of the worst I've ever used. The app even more so. They strike me as utter amateurs.

The items I reserved at argos have now expired so I've lost my reservation. Is there an option on the argos website to reserve the same item again? Like a previous orders screen? I cant find anything anywhere that would just allow me to re-order. Seriously, between the Nectar and Argos websites I must have encountered the worst 2 websites I've used in a long time. I dont know how companies as big as this can get away with it.

I bought card wrap for £2.99 till man charged £5 from my card and gave £3.01 change. Works at 2.50 and he did not take change from me. Bad customer service

was told nectar was minimum spend of £5 in store so 500 points is irrelevant
bit misleading

bought a £4.41 cafetiere with 500 points and got £0.59 change. So hopefully will get my "money" back receiving the 1,000 points back to my Nectar card.

Is this still current? As I use my nectar card today at argos. So hoping I get a 1000 points back, as I used 500

Good offer. just make sure the cashier knows what she's doing.
I asked her to use 500 points. turns out she took off £5 (1000 points) instead. she then said "oops, you can't get them back its to late, I have swiped your card, I don't know how much nectar points are worth" not very good from Argos! spoilt my profitability from double up time.

sorry to hear about that, my own experience with nectar com contact use page is quite good, they always reply, yes sometimes I need to persist a bit but overall I always get back the points I earned. (PS I don't use their app so I could not comment about that)

as Argos, if they still have stocks, I always just put forward a new reserve request.

about big company website, I would say Tesco direct is much worse than Argos, unfortunately I always collect Tesco club card points (my main shopping place), I love club card boost but hate to use their web site to shop.

well i was told 5 pound min, even called manager over

Thanks Raj....I had never redeemed points before so did not how this works out.....Hopefully I will get the 1,000 points back to my Nectar account....

Lots of potential for errors at the till with this one I'm afraid !!!

The minimum amount is 500 Points - which is £2.50 in value - which is confusing to start with.

And I believe cashiers actually have to enter the money value at checkout (after swiping the Nectat card) so if you say 500 (meaning points) they might enter 500 as a money value which actually deducts 1000 points.

At least you are getting 1000 points back but one to beware if they do another promo.

Annoyingly the same thing happened to me, spent £2.99 on batteries but was then given £2.01 back on a gift card, so effectively I've spent 1000 pts to get 1000 pts back! Although I do still have some batteries and the gift card (unless I manage to lose it before I spent it)

is this still on today?

Is this deal over or is today the last day?

Yesterday was unfortunately the last day.

Anybody got any trace of 1000 points till now? I spent yesterday, nothing has come up yet.

asked on fb and they apologized and said it should be min £2.50 not £5 but no big deal
i was offered £2 back in argos vouchers but told cashier i didnt shop there

"no big deal" not sure I follow your logic as surely the deal was all about getting 1,000 extra points for a £2.50, not a £5, spend?

Did anyone read the T&Cs for this offer and notice the date in which points were meant to be credited. Looking back to the same offer in 2014 - it stated the bonus points would be credited by end of January 2015.

I redeemed 1000 points but I've not had the bonus yet. Anyone else got theirs?

think it takes about a month to appear. when did you redeem the points?

no bonus here for me yet

wasnt it the 20th?

Still waiting for mine too.

still waiting for 1000 bonus points

Purchased on 21st December not received points yet

read below

Yeah we have all seen terms and conditions. Tho by 20th Jan is the latest date they will be credited. Generally they are added no later than 4 weeks after transaction. The 20th if you count back is 4 weeks after the last available transaction date of the 23rd Dec. Those who took up the offer earlier should start seeing their points appear.

purchased on 18th December, no points yet.

Same for me.

Got mine today - came up as from Nectar rather than Argos.

Purchased 21st Dec and points received today :innocent:

just checked mine and i have received the points aswell now

Got mine today says bonus from nectar not Argos

Received mine too! :smiley: Cheers, OP! :smile:

Spent the 500 points on £2.50 gift card. Got 1000 points today.

Purchased on the 23rd, the last day of the promotion, and also received today.

Well done Topper1900 and the rest. Got mine too. Just had to tell someone...

Thank you. Received my points yesterday (15th)

Me too, so that was free pillow cases and £2.50 for the pleasure. The pillow cases will live in my draw happily ever after.

got mine today.... ask least think so listed as nectar 1000pts

can't read above posts as its coming out as blocks on my app

points showed up today - 18th January (one month later)

Woo... Finally downloaded the app on my iPad, got the points on the 15th. Thanks!

I never got no point off them.

I never got my points either, waited 4 months, been pretty patient!
