Last day of offer today - also updated with answers to questions that seem to keep getting asked
Nectar has an offer on for 1000 points on your next Virgin trains booking (East or West coast) here: nectar.com/off…673
Even if you aren't planning a journey you can still make a cheap booking to claim the bonus points.
Which train should I book? The cheapest ticket I could find was £1.15 for a child from Edinburgh Waverly to Haymarket making a profit of £3.85 worth of nectar points.
Can I book any train between these stations? No most are operated by ScotRail, make sure it is definitely an East Coast train service you're booking (with the virgin icon next to it) so that you qualify, not a different train operator. Friday 23rd June at 14:28 is one example and the one I booked.
There may be cheaper available journeys between different station, if so please comment: 14:18 Friday ticket is for 70p - rpope LankyChris: being under £1 this might not qualify for bonus points
Friday 30th June 10:28 Edinburgh Waverley - 10:31 Haymarket (Edinburgh) is a Virgin East Coast train - russellanam
Which website do I book at? If you are using the suggested journey above use virgintrainseastcoast.com
How to avoid postage costs Select 'Ticket on Departure at the station' and select your local station to collect tickets from to avoid paying postage.
Do I need to collect the tickets? I have for previous offers but timia got points without collecting last time.
Does anyone actually get the points from these offers? Yes, I did the exact same when this offer was on in April and received the bonus points that time. hot1805 also reports success in the past.
When will I get the points T&Cs below state these are due by 19th July.
What happens if I don't get the points by then? Contact nectar customer support who are usually good about adding missing points: nectar.com/con…act
Is there a minimum spend? Not in the T&Cs but it might be £1 to ensure you get at least 1 nectar point for your purchase so that nectar can track the offer.
What is the best use of the Nectar points? The next nectar double up event is due later this year: moneysavingexpert.com/new…omo There might be other suggestions for getting the best value from them.
Full offer details: How to get this offer 1. Click 'Visit website' 2. For East Coast bookings enter your journey and you will be redirected to virgintrainseastcoast.com 3.

I bought the £1.15 ticket and have not received any points, I've been in touch with Nectar and upon checking the email confirmation it states that it was with Scotrail not Virgin and that is why I'm not getting any points. I'm trying to argue my case (the T&Cs weren't clear) but I'm not hopeful.

Did u purchase the £1.15 ticket?
I got in contact with them and this was the response ''In order to earn points with Virgin Trains, you'll only need to travel through Virgin Trains West Coast service. I've checked your transaction details and can see that you've travelled through Virgin Trains East Coast. Therefore, this transaction does not qualify for the Nectar points.''

Point them to the URL listed in the deal description which clearly states thus particular offer was for West or East coast.

Just checked and my points were added on 28th July. That was without needing to contact them as online chat wasn't working for me when I checked on the day the points were due.
Interesting the points show against the day they were added to my account. Usually for these type of offers it's the purchase or offer end date. It actually makes it a bit easier to keep track on the online statement.

No points for me either, always have to chase them I'm thinking it's too much hassle for £5 worth of points, they take all the details but having already received the usual points for the purchase they should automatically add the bonus points when you contact them so you have to wait 28 to not receive them the another 14 day for them to investigate like I said really not worth the points
1mark to dildil
31 Jul 17#68
They told me to wait 5 instead of 14 and then they didnt do anything after i contacted them on live chat to explain they said send me a copy of the booking so I sent them a pdf of the email booking then the same day i had the points.
LankyChris
24 Jul 17#66
Hmm not good, they usually just add them straight off when they've been missing from past offers.
Tried web chat today but couldn't get it to load, kept popping up a blank window so will try that phone number tomorrow.

Lol they took my train details and said they would need just 14 days to resolve this, though they didn't mention anything about this being down to virgin..
Bargain.Hunters
24 Jul 17#64
OK guys been in contact with them and for the journey....I got 2 points from Nectar. The rest are actually from Virgin and they have had a few problems with Virgin honouring these...its not actually Nectar....its Virgin. So I phoned them and they need the train journey details and they are raising it with Virgin and within 28 days they will be on my account. We are not the only ones - so get them phoned and get them on ! 03448110811

no points here yet. Nectar are tiring as you have to calendar all these "bonus" points as there always seems to be a problem..

not sure what u mean. all i seem to realise is that they are not faithful to their promotions. they deserve to be reported.

I have Wednesday 19th marked in my calendar for this, but i signed up for it a day after this deal was posted, so in theory some peeps should maybe see points hit their accounts starting tomorrow.

Remember to keep an eye on your points peeps....just phoned up today as mine are not on.... says will be on within 28 days. I was just checking because the ones from a previous credit card deal have now been added. So Im keeping upto date x

Just booked the following. Friday 30th June 10:28 Edinburgh Waverley - 10:31 Haymarket (Edinburgh) Virgin East Coast train. I logged in via the nectar site and clicked on the offer. It took me to the virgin trains site. I was able to buy the ticket but i didnt get any connfirmation that points will be awarded, so i will keep an eye out.
Thanks very much

Sounds like you've had some bad experiences with nectar.
I've always found their customer services helpful and efficient when needing to contact missing points. I always use the Chat live option at nectar.com/con…act
Tenex
21 Jun 17#47
FWIW I did this when it posted back at Xmas time and naturally Nectar didn't track but contacted them and a month later they credited the points.
Forward to two offers in March and neither have been credited - in the one case because Nectar declared that "Virgin East Coast" wasn't Virgin despite me sending them a pic from the Nectar website advertising "Virgin East Coast" and a picture of a Virgin train in their ad... and the second for a very similar reason which was again disproved by their own website. In each case they made it extremely difficult to claim insisting on receipts, pics as PDFs and then swearing that they hadn't been received (FFS their own website uploads them and reports they're uploaded...).
Add to that each email reply is a restarting with no reference to preceding communications and they eventually wear you down. YMMV

When I click the link it doesn't redirect me to the east coast one - just the main web page. I take it that it's unlikely to work in this case?
LankyChris

Yes I got points from doing it in April.
LankyChris
20 Jun 17#43
I already had an East Coast account with a Nectar card linked to it. So sorry not sure where you enter if you're new or checking out as a guest. The nectar points earned are shown on a box on the right hand side for me so maybe in the same place when at the card payment stage?
LankyChris
20 Jun 17#42
Good thinking! Does an adult ticket with a railcard work out cheaper than a child ticket (I'm assuming there aren't any valid toes for child tickets)?
LankyChris
20 Jun 17#41
I'd assume you'd still get the points without collecting as nectar will only know about the purchase, not whether you've collected or used them, but I've always collected them when doing these offers in the past as work next to a station.
If there's no virgin icon it's not a virgin service. I think the train I found was around lunchtime this Friday if that helps, can't remember the exact time.
No minimum spend is mentioned in the T&Cs I've pasted into the description but some others above have suggested it might be £1 to ensure you collect 1 nectar point so they know about the purchase to add the bonus points. The £1.15 ticket I've suggested would ensure this.

20 Jun 17#40
An off topic - but what is the best use of the Nectar points - I earlier used them to swim vouchers but now struggle to find good use for them as Sainsbury's are usually more expensive than other stores so redeeming there is almost counter productive?

I got this via email, forgotten to post it here...
I got the email from Virgin East Coast the same week, 5 pounds from York to London - went on Saturday... 10 pounds return, plus 1000 nectar points.... train was delayed was by 33 minutes, so got 2.50 refund... total of 7.50 return to london - great service too... plus 1000 points = a happy boy...

Also, you could take this to another level by selecting any rail card - as long as you are NOT indenting to travel, it's irrelevant.
Just a thought.

Yes I did a booking last time this was put on HUKD and never received any extra points :disappointed:

Just ordered but unsure if its a virgin train or not. I've checked all the info that I could and it just says:
Valid on all services by the route shown. Valid 1 day only.
Bought the £1.15 ticket. There was a first class ticket for £1.10 but that mentioned it was a cross country service or something so I just bought the other one instead.
Okay had a look and this ticket is also the same, cross country. Does that mean I got the wrong one?
For the stations mentioned in the post (edinburgh) I can only see scotrail. Which stations did you guys choose? Thanks
timia
20 Jun 17#31
The last time I used, I did not collect the tickets and still got the points. There is no minimum spend, just find the cheapest ticket (which seems to be 1.15).
topjake16
20 Jun 17#30
where do you enter your nectar card number? Don't want me to buy this ticket and then not get the £5
Dan__
20 Jun 17#29
do we still need to collect the tickets? This is a bit confusing. And there is no icon next to the tickets when searching on the site. Also its not clear if there is a minimum spend on this to get the points?
think I'm gonna pass on this, seems like a waste of time
skeewc1
20 Jun 17#28
I currently have 3 different Virgin trains offers showing on the nectar app - this one for 1,000 points, one for 800 points and one for 1,500 points - do you think I can get all of them by booking 1 ticket?!

It won't it has to be either East or west coast trains.

This deal seems to come up on nectar every month or so but given the heat this deal is generating anyone want to take bets that there's a minimum spend condition added to the T&Cs next time this deal appears?!

Thanks mate, glad I checked, I got it then :smile:
LankyChris
20 Jun 17#24
No I don't think so if you read the full T&Cs pasted into the description above:
That seems to be the standard price regardless of which train operator is running the train. Look for one with a virgin icon next to it.
danboi63
20 Jun 17#23
You need to order on the east coast Virgin trains website, then do the search, then on the left hand side of the train times there will be a small sign for Virgin trains, that's the one you want :smile:

That's so true, I've done it twice and on both occasions it has been a bit of an effort trying to claim the nectar points
LankyChris
20 Jun 17#18
Nectar customer services have always been good at adding any missing points for me.
What I do now is add details of the offer in my calendar on the date they're due to be added, check on that date and contact them if needed. In this case bonus points are due by 19th July
Also note that points often show in your points statement against the date the offer was available, not the date they actually add to your account, so often are too far back so don't show on the points summary unless you go to 'full statement'.

No most are operated by ScotRail, make sure it is definitely an East Coast train service you're booking (with the virgin icon next to it) so that you qualify, not a different train operator. Friday 23rd June at 14:28 is one example and the one I booked.
There may be cheaper available journeys between different station, if so please comment:
14:18 Friday ticket is for 70p

LankyChris: being under £1 this might not qualify for bonus points
Friday 30th June
10:28 Edinburgh Waverley - 10:31 Haymarket (Edinburgh)
is a Virgin East Coast train

What happens if I don't get the points by then?
Contact nectar customer support who are usually good about adding missing points: nectar.com/con…act
Is there a minimum spend?
Not in the T&Cs but it might be £1 to ensure you get at least 1 nectar point for your purchase so that nectar can track the offer.
