  Connect BA to nectar on BA page doesn’t work, it throws you out and asks you to log in then doesnt work. when you get back to the page after logging in to BA then searching and finding the page, you click on the button and it throws you out gain ….Rubbish!!

  I do have concerns about Sainsbury’s and Nectar IT, I’m unsure as to the level of integration, but it all seemed to go wrong when the single log on was introduced.

  I had the issue where the weekly Nectar offers at Sainsbury’s didn’t arrive, I noted the response, but did suspect an IT issue. A few weeks later I was locked out, through no fault of my own, of my Sainsbury’s groceries account.

  OT – My wife has received an email saying she is about to lose her Avios. We have a household account, but I tend to earn the Avios, plus we have a joint BA Prem card to hit the 10k spend which obviously only credits my account.

  Can she still lose her point even though it’s part of a household account? Any advice on how she can retain them, especially as it looks like we won’t be travelling this year?

    Given the article Join up NP and Avios accounts and transfer 400NP to 250 Avios and enter the competition at the same time:-)

    I know there is no such thing as joint cardholders. I have spent my morning trying to explain that her Amex is actually my Amex and I am responsible for all spending on all cards on the account. It’s like negotiating with a terrorist.

    Thanks for your help all!

      Maybe try pointing out that the card she has is an “Additional” card rather than a “Supplementary” card. 🙂

      Offer to be her Supp (check Rob’s article on the order in which a couple should apply for cards).

  Have they sorted out the security issues? When this was setup I remember reading on here just how weak the security was and how easy it was for someone to drain out all your Avios.

  • Rob says:

    2 Jul2 July 10:01

    No. That’s why you can’t transfer out of Avios without calling.

    Not yet although Nectar has switched to a new password system called my ID. It is supposed to allow the same login for online groceries and nectar. For me it has managed to lock me out of the nectar website. nectar call centre found the problem but then had to escalate it and says up to 28 days to be fixed.

  I am still waiting for the Avios from the initial promotion that I applied for on 25th January. The 1600 Nectar points are shown as going to BA but I have been passed from Nectar to BA and back again so many times to get nowhere with the issue. It has now stayed with BA who still are investigating two months.later. I would not chance changing any more points to Avios as the system is that unreliable.

    Maybe time to move on….

    From memory it was only 500 Avios so about £4-5 How valuable is your time????

    • Mr David Ottley says:

      2 Jul2 July 18:09

      It was for 1000 Avios and a 500 Avios bonus. Principals are involved. I have already have had Nectar Points stolen from my account which I had to fight months for reimburseent. . I am retired so time has no value!

  Competition was showing for on the Nectar App yesterday – tried to transfer 80k NP to Avios several times – would not work. Now the competition has disappeared. What is going on? 🤷

  • Martin says:

    2 Jul2 July 12:18

    Competition now back on App, 8k transferred – all good 😀. Enjoyed talking to myself 😂

    • David D says:

      2 Jul2 July 12:57

      It certainly is. Unlinked, then linked up the accounts again. Transferred 8k Nectar to Avios. Fingers crossed and good luck to everyone who takes part. Minimum prize is 5,000 Avios per the terms and conditions.

      • AJA says:

        2 Jul2 July 13:20

        Did you transfer 8k Nectar Points in one go or 20 times? The competition is one entry for every 400 NP converted to 250 Avios at a time. Maximum of 20 entries.

        Also don’t transfer any Avios to NP in July as that will invalidate your entries.

        • AJA says:

          2 Jul2 July 13:24

          Scratch that, reading article and T&Cs again you can transfer 8k NP in one go and receive an entry for each 400NP transferred.

        • David D says:

          2 Jul2 July 16:07

          @AJA as you noted all in one. In the diary to call and move back mid August. Won’t be needing the Nectar points before that.

• Paul Millbank says:

  So a Nectar point is worth 0.5p, how much is an Avios point worth, they seem to fluctuate, daily?

  • Rob says:

    2 Jul2 July 14:55

    As 1 Nectar = 0.625 Avios, then at least 0.8p, up to whatever your flight pattern can justify.

• Mikeact says:

  Rob’s link to the BA page to transfer works just fine…no need to fuff around with the Nectar app at all.
