Very generous ‘bonus Avios’ offer from eBay

If you have the Nectar app installed, you have a good chance of seeing a very generous eBay offer this weekend.

As per the screenshot below, you may be targetted for a ‘spend £5, get 1,000 Nectar points’ deal:

1,000 Nectar points convert into 625 Avios, so this is a decent offer. All you need to do is find something on eBay for close to £5, excluding postage. There are a lot of booksellers on eBay, so if you were targetting a particular new paperback you’ll probably find it – and often cheaper than at Amazon.

Depending on how you look at it, you’re either buying something you need for £5 and getting 625 Avios with it, or paying £5 for 625 Avios and getting a free item.

You may also see an offer in the Nectar app for ‘100 points for every Nectar partner you transact with’. This includes eBay and so should double up.

The eBay home page is here. You can find out more about the Nectar partnership, and link your Nectar card, on this special eBay page.

You MUST link your Nectar card to eBay here before trying to registering for the offer.
