Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4

Last night I got an email form nectar thanking me for spending my 18,000 points (£90) at Wellingborough Sainsbury Petrol Station, but it was 2 late to do anything, and I have never been there.

So at 9am I spoke to a guy who saw that it was about 65 miles from my address, plus I said I only use BP to fill my car.

He said it was obviously fraudulent and have cancelled the card and will send me a shiny new card with the 18,000 points plus transfer the remaining points on my old card.

So now to wait up to 10 days for the new card.

Boy am I relieved as I want to get to 20,000 points and £100. then spend it on booze.

There seems to be a lot a fraud on Nectar cards. Best to spend a soon as you qualify for anything, and don't let large amounts pile up.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4

I too got an email about spending on Nectar somewhere I wasn't. All dealt with quickly and easily. I have now put a spending lock on my account.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4

Travels on the train awesome as always. I accidentally sat opposite my old English teacher I felt bad she said you've got a good memory remembering me, aww bless her clever lady. Brighton was nice, a lot of police out though at the train station on my return journey.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4

Standing charges for lecky and gas are going down in this area. Per unit is going up but at least that's something one can economise on.

I've just signed up to another Tracker to beat the standing charge rise, what are your standing charges in your area?
