Collect points even faster with the Nectar Credit Card

From today (11 May 2010) American Express is offering new Nectar Credit Card members 5,000 Nectar bonus points worth a minimum of £25, and up to £50 (when redeemed with selected brands). Bonus points will be awarded when the Card member spends £500 in the first three months.

With the Nectar Credit Card you can collect Nectar points for every full £1 spent on the Card everywhere you use it: on the high street, online, for your holiday as well as your everyday spending.

Nectar points can be spent with brands such as, Homebase, Argos, Philips, Sainsbury's, Ask, Laithwaites, Alton Towers Resort, Eurostar, amazon.co.uk and Expedia.

‘Double value' redemptions are currently available at participating partners including, Ask, Legoland, Alton Towers Resort, Thorpe Park, Chessington World of Adventures, Madame Tussauds and Warwick Castle - this means every 500 points collected on the Card are worth £5 at these participating partners.
