Default Nectar points - best way to spend them?

Ive collected over 5000 nectar points, and Im trying to work out the best way to spend them?

I reckon McDonalds medium value meal at 500 points is about the best way - worth 3.29 so 0.658p per nectar point. So that would make my points worth over 33quid and I do eat in McD's a fair bit.

Anyone know of anything else worth spending them on, or how to get better yields from them?

A quick glance, an Odeon ticket for 1000. My local Odeon charges just over £7.

Thats pretty good actually, pity they dont have the same offer for VUE or Cineworld cinemas!

Alton Towers pass at 2500 points is pretty good, thats about 20quid depending when you go.

Think I got my mum to get Sainsburys vouchers, use them for shopping, and give me the cash. Might be an idea.

AT pass sounds like a good deal as well.

Argos also take them. g/f wanted an electric toothbrush, so this basically came free thanks to high mileage and using BP petrol.

I got one of these cards recently. Even fill the odd tank with Ultimate to get more points - funny how I only accumulate them at Victoria Wines and BP!!!
How much would you have to spend to get 5000 points?

You can link your nectar card to vodaphone.
Its well worth doing.
I've done that and I've got over 7000 points now and we don't buy from victoria wine or BP!
You can convert them to Argos or Debenhams vouchers as well.

I transferred all my barclaycard points over got about 240,000, get at least 10k more each quartley update. think my record was 24k points in a quarter.

So far new dyson hoover, new phone, bread machine, lots of those wine hamper things. couple of restaurant meals. And a driver day at Brands

saving up to get the family over to florida for a holiday.

How do i do this.

Well we shop at Sainsburys and use the vouchers (recently 2000 extra points a quarter in vouchers).
Vodafone mobile on a business account normally 4000 points a quarter.
BP ultimate petrol (for the audi) and vouchers normally 1000 a quarter (some good bonus vouchers to be had with ultimate)
Barclaycard with mine and my exsepnses card normally 3-4000 a quarter.

Us too, although usually a whole years worth of points is barely enough to buy a couple of bottles of voddie
