Get 2,000 Nectar points (1,250 Avios) with a £30 office supplies spend

Office supplies group Viking is currently running a TARGETTED offer for people who have not previously linked their Nectar and Viking accounts.

To see if you are targetted, you need to open the Nectar app – or log in online – and see if you have this under ‘Partner Offers’:

Viking is offering 2,000 bonus Nectar points with your first purchase of £30 + VAT after you add your Nectar number to your Viking account

With the exchange rate between Nectar and Avios of 1 : 0.625, these 2,000 Nectar points are worth 1,250 Avios. This is a decent return on £30 + VAT of spending.

As an office supplies group, Viking is an obvious place to pick up your next printer cartridge or similar. It also has a lot of ‘office use but usable domestically’ products, such as coffee capsules and bulk supplies of bottled water.

You need to register your Nectar account and make your £30 + VAT purchase by 20th March.

Viking also has discount codes

There are two other Viking offers at the moment:

• you save 10% on your first order worth £60 + VAT with code VGB-10NEWUK if you are a business customer

• you can get a £5 discount code off your next order of £49 + VAT by signing up for the Viking newsletter if you are a non-business customer

These offers cannot be combined. It isn’t clear if they combine with the ‘2,000 Nectar points’ offer as this does not require a promo code to be added.

How many Nectar points do I earn at Viking?

As we covered in our guide to earning Nectar points, you earn 2 Nectar points (1.25 Avios) for every £1 of ex-VAT spend.

This doubles to 4 Nectar points per £1 on all own-brand products.

There are also bonus point offers which would combine with the Nectar offer and money-off deals above. Take a look here.

The current offers include deals on non-office products such as coffee, bottled water and toilet paper!

Remember that you need to link your Viking and Nectar accounts, and spend £30 + VAT, by 20th March to receive the 2,000 bonus Nectar points. Check that you are targetted by looking in the Nectar app or logging into the Nectar website before ordering.

PS. If you don’t have the Nectar American Express credit card, take a look at our review here.
