Nectar Points and Ebay, things are changing

[caryl576]

It looks like the relationship between Nectar and eBay is changing, as i've just had this email from Nectar

"From the 1st of September, the way you collect and spend Nectar points with eBay is changing.

You will no longer be able to collect or spend Nectar points directly on the eBay website or app, and your Nectar and eBay accounts will be unlinked.

However, you will be able to collect Nectar points on your eBay transactions when you shop via Nectar. Simply search for eBay on the Nectar app or website and click out to the eBay website or app to make your purchase. And the good news is you will be able to collect 2pts for every £1 spent at eBay (instead of the current 1pt per £1)*. Head to https://www.nectar.com/eshops to find out more.

Any vouchers that you have already created on eBay before 31st August will remain valid on eBay until their expiration. Any points you have collected will remain in your Nectar account ready for you to spend on the things you’d like from our other partners like Sainsbury’s, Argos, Esso, British Airways and many more.

For any questions, please see FAQs here.

In the meantime, you can keep collecting and spending Nectar points at eBay.

To get the most out of Nectar, download the Nectar app.

Thanks,
The Nectar Team"

so if you want to spend your nectar points on ebay create the vouchers now, and if you want to keep collecting points you'll need to come in via the nectar site/app rather than directly to ebay

So you were forcing people to use a stupid app !, That's no good if your using a computer,  and not helping older people who may not do that, why are you so obsessed with having to buy things on a mobile  phone ?

You can still collect Nectar points using a PC by first visiting the Nectar site and searching for eBay and using the link given there.

I tried this loads a times for the first two months (all according to their steps) but not a single point collected or message acknowledged.  So I gave up trying.

I follow the procedure, and it all seems to work ok

I only use Ebay/Nectar on my desktop due to this process

Only once I had a problem where some points failed to appear, and I made contact

with Nectar support, and the missing points were added a week later

I have the Nectar page bookmarked wherein one must click to buy on eBay prior to purchase and a day or so later I get a ‘points pending’ and then a ‘points added’ email.
Mind you, now that I can’t spend them on eBay they’re of less use to me. Tried to buy a tarpaulin using points on Argos online yesterday but that was a complete failure. So, all in all - unimpressed 😞
Best just save them for Christmas and spend at Sainsburys.
