Because it's not about not being eligible, people will click on the link, think that the offer has worked (as I nearly did myself) then be disappointed when the bonus points never materialise. If the deal said "check you emails" to see if you're eligible then fair enough that would be a hot deal for those that can get it but this deal gives the impression that people are eligible when they are not.

have to say

over a few nectar points :laughing:

The link is for Karen's offer only (op) so anyone else clicking beware they won't receive the 50% points back unless you receive your own email

I never suggested anything sinister, it's not a personal attack, just warning people that they may well not get the deal that they think they will. If it is generally available then it's a great deal. Anyway I contacted Nectar to ask for confirmation, will report back when they reply.

That is a step too far! :smiley:

I never got my points, will be voting Labour tomorrow because of this.. It's just not right, somethings got to change.

I never got my points ... can't be bothered. When the revolution comes I will remember them. (Not really)

not had anything contacted nectar on live chat they have added said it'll appear in 14 days

Still nothing for me.

None here either :neutral_face:

None here either

No points for me :disappointed:

The bonus points (50% of what you converted to eBay vouchers) should now have been added to your Nectar accounts (provided that you had been invited to participate in the promotion and had activated the offer by clicking on the activate button).

This is another reason why eBay and nectar should,give to all not just those their 'clever' marketing department are targeting. Now they have unhappy customers.

Looks like I may have got caught this time - will ring Nectar in the morning.

Yes the remaining you will pay using your PayPal account. The 50% points will be added back to you. Guess there is some time line for it.

Right, anyone help (today please! Sunday)
I have loads of Nectar pts but never converted to vouchers. I have a couple ebay items won today (total both 11quid 2 diff sellers). I got the Nect/ebay deal via email.
If I convert 2000 pts to vouchers (worth 10 quid) what happens at checkout? Total will be 11 quid inc p/p.
Pay 10 quid (2000 Nec pts) but what about the floating quid to make 11 quid? Will I be allowed to make that up from my Paypal account?

I do NOT want to find out I needed more vouchers.

Cheers to anyone who can help. I did try contact online chat but person I was dealing with was vague, very vague!

I contacted eBay customer support. The man said if spent 10000 points I would get 5000 back not 2500 has stated here but he also said it was by invitation only and he had no means of sending me an invite, when I mentioned the link on here he told me third party website links would not work and I should keep checking my email as they are doing more promotions in may. He was very polite and said I was one of their best customers in the UK ? I am still tempted to try this cause the previous two years it worked for me but I can't remember whether I got an invite or not.

Well I too hope it works like that for u this too. But there is no proof to say you had activated this offer for your account rite ? I too clicked the link and activated it but could not find it anywhere to confirm whether I'll get my points.

Thanks, I think I have fell for this and blown my points for no good reason. I had confidence it was ok because eBay normally says link not valid and invite only as a rule. Why not this time? Nice one

Unless you had received an email with this offer don't expect your points. Good luck..

I did this, it said it activated and I spent the voucher right away. So far not had 50% of point back .. probably so I can't "go again"
We need to keep an eye on getting the points back though.
Thank OP, good deal if we get the 50%

They are only giving what you should
of got in the first place! points cut from 1p a point a long time ago! now you only get 1/2p a point!

The original link has been changed by a Mod.

mine didnt when i cliked link it said u have activated the off x.

Better to spend the nectar points on Sainsburys Double Up. At least you know the deal will be coming.

Only reason to spend points on ebay (without any deal) is if you have too many points that won't be used elsewhere.

Don't convert yet I have converted nothing comes. I think this offer just for the person who received e-mail apply not for everyone. I vote cold converted 10.000 point and don't need anything now. Luckily it will expire in 1 year

I never get these deals :disappointed:

Voted hot but I haven't received the email but very good for those that have. I had a look at nectar in my eBay and no mention of this so I don't think it applies to me, been waiting for this will have to wait a bit longer.

A maximum of 2500 credited back is hardly 50% of points back. Deceiving.

I'm sure everybody knows now as you and rog have been telling everybody since 10am you have even been onto facebook about it :laughing:

You comments about if it doesn't show on your nectar account you will not get it well it doesn't show on mine and i got the email Guesswork again ???
Nectar activities on eBay
Spending points
You don't have eBay vouchers at this time.

nothing on mine either. although i don't buy that much from ebay.

Give it a rest its boring now dont you ever stop, op link is misleading, op this, op that, ffs i put in the description hours ago this - ACCOUNT SPECIFIC PLEASE CHECK BEFORE CONVERTING POINTS ! I also asked the mods to change the link hours ago what more can i do. People can make up their own mind or contact ebay via chat to find out if it's for them i'm not deceiving nobody i just put up what i thought was a good offer for nectar points on ebay sorry again :confused:

min spend??
actually there isn't nothing on mine!!!! lol

The point is - the link does not mean you will get the offer as it only applies to those who have the email - the link is to OPs account so leads any one clicking it to believe they also have the deal (as the next click leads to your EBay account (auto login)) . I'm done - can only warn members so many times , then its down to an ounce of common sense , hope you haven't fallen for it .

your logic is all wrong

there's no connect between voting a deal hot & using that deal

mods don't need to correct a link that will work for many people

mods are not asleep they are probably eating dinner

by 'can't be bothered' you are judging mods as lazy, useless, a waste of time, interfering, unwelcome, officious pseudo policemen

I give up :confused:- Just trying to warn members that the duff link will lead them to believe they have activated the offer (when they haven't) , the sheep continue to vote hot and presumably convert their vouchers on the basis of an incorrect link ! MODs asleep ,or can't be bothered to check and correct the link . Some folks you just cannot help :neutral_face: I await 28 days time for the moans "what has happened to the Nectar Points I should have been refunded ? " Takes all sorts and you can't say you weren't warned . Goodnight :smiley:

Oh yeah I did activate that one for Easter and I made a few purchases, but I haven't had any email for this offer which would be more useful, as I have loads of points now to convert to ebay vouchers when its 1 for 1.

The one day ebay dont message me.

The link is to the OPs own account (who did get the email) , read previous comments please ! If you haven't had the email and it doesn't show on your Nectar page you won't get the offer (No guesswork there :confused:) . Not saying the deal is bad but the link shows everyone clicking it has "activated the deal " . You would have to be a few sandwiches short of a picnic not to work out what has happened with the link :confused: I'm sure the MODs will get onto it at their leisure and remove /change the link . I'm sure there are many members who will be disappointed but they have been warned several times over the last 10 hours if they just cared/ bothered to read the previous comments .

how do you actually know that?

you're just guessing

If it was the buy anything over £5 and get a random number of Nectar bonus points (credited within 28 days), then I did that but have not got this 50% points back offer.

It was for (I think ) 20 -100 Bonus points on EBay purchase over £5 -could vary , as probably customer specific . I remember activating it , but never used it , but haven't had an email about this one .

The OPs link to their own offer appears to show you have activated this deal (which of course you haven't) , click again and you are auto logged in to your EBay account ( as you would be if you clicked on EBay from your favourites ) . I dare say many members have then proceeded to convert their points believing they will get 50% back ! Some will (who have received the EMail) , many wont (who have clicked through the misleading link ) . I realise the OP didn't intend to deceive , but that is the result , and the link should be removed .

what was the Easter surprise for, don't remember activating it or not.

Sadly the misleading link remains (link is to OPs activated deal, OP presumably had the necessary email , others will not have the deal (like me)) but the link appears at first sight to show they have the deal ! . Meanwhile the sheep continue voting "Hot" (as HUKD sheep do ) and I daresay the same sheep will be converting their points to vouchers expecting 50% back in 28 days :confused: . Some will , who have received the email , many won't who have clicked on the misleading link . This has been pointed out in the various comments above but you can lead a sheep to water but you can't make it drink !
I await (in 28 days ) the cries of fraud , scam against Nectar /EBay (when the 50% points are not refunded )- please don't say you were not warned . OP it would help if you removed your link (which only applies to your account ) and replaced it with a generic EBay/ Nectar logo . Maybe the Mods would care to do that ? to avoid the confusion and expectation caused by the misleading link .

Does the purchase need to be for a single item of >£10 in value? I have a few smaller items that I need (only a couple of quid each) from different sellers. If I add them to a basket which totals >£10 would that qualify for this offer?

It's really irritating as eBay is the only thing I'll use my Nectar points on. I know as soon as I decide to use them up they'll send me a offer though, which would drive me mad!

have to say

over a few nectar points :laughing:

Just got a reply from Nectar on Facebook:
Interestingly I did activate the "Easter surprise" promo but didn't receive an email (although I think I'm opted out of promo emails!).

I rang nectar who were no help, then rang eBay who were a bit more helpful, as I'm unhappy that when i had £10-20 of points I used to get these offers all the time, now I have £165 of points and have been sat on them I haven't been invited to this offer the past 4-5 times -_-

So eBay had a look at the terms , and for this particular offer, you're only eligible if you did the eBay easter nectar suprise offer apparently, which I didn't bother to do. Sigh.

Thanks for sharing, just spent all off my points!

Thanks OP. I didn't get an invite, but it has activated on my account. :smiley:

Must admit the link leads me to an account (already activated ?- strange ! ) . Doesn't sit right at the moment , I too will wait for an email or EBay message before exchanging for vouchers and NOT getting 50% back . Hope folks haven't rushed to convert their points to vouchers as I fear if you haven't got an email or the offer isn't sitting on your Nectar page the offer is not applicable to you . I think its the OPs offer on the link that has been activated and has managed to mislead many members .

I tried finding if i really have activated this offer. But can't see anywhere in nectar or ebay. :/

I never suggested anything sinister, it's not a personal attack, just warning people that they may well not get the deal that they think they will. If it is generally available then it's a great deal. Anyway I contacted Nectar to ask for confirmation, will report back when they reply.

Do you have to use it or activate it by the 23rd? Ta very much

Jesus Christ I only posted a deal to help people out nothing sinister :confused:

It took me to eBay which auto-signs in. Had my points balance on the same page as the deal. Tbh I still have 28000 from a 40000 CC offer and never use them so if I don't get £12.50 I won't cry. Would be nice though. Been waiting for such a deal for ages! Last time abused it for £100 or so haha

Interestingly when I click the link it has my name, and after doing it displayed "xxxx you have activated this offer" (with xxxx showing my actual name).

Because it's not about not being eligible, people will click on the link, think that the offer has worked (as I nearly did myself) then be disappointed when the bonus points never materialise. If the deal said "check you emails" to see if you're eligible then fair enough that would be a hot deal for those that can get it but this deal gives the impression that people are eligible when they are not.

I got caught out with this link the last time on here, clicked and it said I had activated it, but I never got the points back and Nectar confirmed the offer was never given to me. Beware!

Why not vote hot anyway? Plenty of people will have on your seller fees deal despite not being eligible.

I do agree with you that these deals are different to the selling ones.

I'm only posting to help others here that may otherwise think they'll be getting this deal when in fact they won't.

I clicked Get Deal and I got the page to say I'd activated the offer, even though I was in Incognito mode so wasn't logged in to anything.

Good luck to anyone who's gone for this, but I'll wait until I get an email before spending my points.

i got the offer under my name after clicking the link. thanks OP

Thanks

Thanks OP

The selling offers i get from a email always have her name on the link like the last one you posted but you posted it from your ebay messages. I dont really care if you vote hot or cold maybe best contact ebay/nectar and ask if your worried

The selling offer wasn't a link from an email (I posted the last one!) and makes you sign in before it determines if you are eligible. This one has your details in the link, you don't even need to be signed in to activate it (because it knows it's from your account already). Will happily vote hot if someone can find a generic link!

A year or more ago they did an unlimited conversion offer giving 50% back. I converted £600 worth of points. That was a real bargain. Sadly, they seem to have learned their lesson and now limit the 50% return to relatively small amounts of points.

The selling offers say exactly the same it's just i never removed her name on the link, all the selling offers give a name on the email.

I never get emails from Nectar

It's not the same as the selling one, the link does appear to be account specific. It lets me "accept" the offer without even being signed in!

Have you not seen these offers on here before ? if it accepts you you're ok at least 100 deals like this have been posted before .

So to make the most of this...

5000 points converted to eBay voucher worth £25 and I get 2500 points back worth £12.50?

The link is for Karen's offer only (op) so anyone else clicking beware they won't receive the 50% points back unless you receive your own email

Thanks

Can't see anything on my account :disappointed: I've got plenty of points to play with aswell lol

thanks

Thanks OP. Heat added. This promotion finishes on 23rd night. From 24th you get 10x nectar points from sainsburys
