Missing points
I'm missing Nectar points for my online shopping — what do I do?
Answer
Here's a handy troubleshooting guide if you're missing points for an online purchase.
1. Check how much time has passed, as points from online purchases can take 35 days to show on your account. Some partner brands wait until after your cooling-off period has passed — so if you're missing points for a financial product or credit card based service, it's best to add another 14 days to that period.
2. If it's been more than 35 days, the item you bought may have been excluded from collecting points. To see if that's the case, just search for the brand you bought from on the Nectar website and click 'terms and conditions'.
3. Did you delete your cookies or set your browser to private mode when you were shopping? If we can't track your purchase, we can't add your points.
4. Did you switch to another referral site such as Quidco half way through your purchase? If we lose track of your shopping, we can't add your points.

I've loaded an app offer to my card and made the purchase, but I haven't got the points. What do I do?
Answer
Here's a handy troubleshooting guide if you're missing points for an app offer.
1. Check how much time has passed, as points from app offer purchases can take 28 days after the offer's ended before they show on your account. You can see the expiry date just below the 'Offer Active' button on the offer page.
2. If it's been more than 28 days, the item you bought may have been excluded from collecting points. To see if that's the case, just check the offer terms and conditions.

If you get this message when you're trying to register or set up your online account, just chat with us and we'll be happy to sort this for you.
The reason you see the message could be that you've got more than one account with us. We recognise you from your email address and mobile number, so if they're used on more than one Nectar card, we can't 'validate' your details.

Do you sell my personal data?
Answer
No, we don't sell any personal data here at Nectar. Our Privacy and Data Protection policy is strict — and we like it that way. After all, we're all about saying thank you.
How do I report a scam or suspicious email received posing as Nectar?
Answer
Anyone can be targeted (not just Nectar customers) and these fraudulent emails or texts often request personal information or ask you to confirm information.
It might be a scam when…
- The message asks for personal information like your bank or payment details, username or password.
- The sender’s email address looks suspicious.
- There’s a sense of urgency, like a threat that your account will be closed unless you take immediate action.
- The message has a generic greeting such as ‘Dear customer.'
- You weren’t expecting it.
