I wonder why nectar cards seemed to be cloned on a fairly regular basis, but not Tesco Clubcard’s ?

Because Nectar is pretty easy to steal. They block you from redeeeming from a new tore unless you have bought from it before, so they either pick up a dropped receipt or guess and nectar card number, generate a barcode for it and go and buy something cheap in a store. They will even get a receipt telling you how many points are on that account, so the next day you can go and redeem them all.
