  For those who do not collect Nectar it is worth pointing out that although a point is worth 0.5% most mainstream outlets will give you two points per £, so effectively 1%.

    You mean a point is worth 0.5p.

  The £11 booking fee is cancelled out, as the flight prices on the Nectar site and cheaper than on EasyJet directly. So the price is the same. I flew on Saturday on an EasyJet flight booked with Nectar points 🙂

    I did not realise, this, I saw the £11 booking fee and decided that killed that option for me. Having just priced up some things on both, there is a £11 lower price on the Nectar site until it adds the fee at which point they match exactly.

      Very interesting! I also had not realised this, so thanks for pointing it out.

      I don’t understand the conjuring trick of adding an £11 fee while discounting each way of a return trip by £5.50.

      I just made a dummy booking for a possible trip to Zurich. Paying by debit card would have achieved identical fares for one person. Paying by credit card would have been £3.41 more expensive using Nectar points because of the £4.95 credit card surcharge (only £1.54 on the easyJet site).

      Disclaimer. This is for one passenger. I did not add baggage or seat selection. EasyJet like to promote prices as per passenger based on two travelling to reduce the impact of c.c. fees..

        It’s because that is what the main easyjet site does, it’s just hidden.

        You’ll notice that if you search for one person then search for 2 people, the cost per person goes down (assuming two tickets are available at that lower price) because the £11 is only added once per booking.

  Correction:

  Nectar claim to be the: “Nation’s most popular loyalty programme”.

  For me, apart from redeeming a few points as and when, there’s nothing of interest at all-other than dumping residue MR points if needs be(as Rob has pointed out).

    Photobox is 0.6p per point so I do transfer the odd MR point over to get Photobox credit

    If only you could get similar bonus points as Tesco Club Card or Avios, then it would maybe be worth collecting.
    The way it is, its just boring. Spend £100 in Sainsburys and get £1 off an easyjet flight
    Wow!

      To be fair, Sainsbury’s frequently gives me coupons for the equivalent of 10/15/20% off my next shop, either as a cash coupon or for bonus points.

  I do that and buy John Lewis / Waitrose vouchers!
