BA / Avios / Nectar Hookup - Interesting... !

[HenrysDad]

Happy Days, shame we now mostly shop in Tesco whereas it used to be Sainsburys before Tesco built a better Supermarket on our doorstep

Have a stash of Nectar points and was wondering what to usefully use them on so this is good news for us.

Will also be keeping an eye on the Sainsburys bonus points offers released each week to help rack up the points; we earn a lot of Nectar points with eBay too.

I also do the nectar polls which does bring in quite a bit each week

I don’t think I spend enough in Sainsbury’s for it to be worthwhile for me. Took me three years to earn £13 on my nectar card in point.😬
(I often put petrol in at Sainsbury’s also)

Received the BA Nectar email today.
Currently sitting on two separate BA Executive accounts with a substantial number of points.

With not flying for the immediate future I'm not really topping them to keep them active. I used to transfer points from Shell Rewards and TESCO to BA prior to them finishing.

For various reasons we never really visit Sainsburys so that's not much use. We do buy the odd items from Argos. Probably not enough to make a transfer viable.


Thinking of converting all our BA points to Hilton Honors rather than lose them.

Wondering if it may be worth while transferring them on from Hilton Honors to TESCO Clubcard, then swapping them from TESCO onto our Virgin Rewards accounts.

Seems quite complicated working out how best to do it, or even if it makes sense.

We converted some (1600) dormant Nectar points to Avios primarily to gain the 500 bonus Avios points given they can easily be exchanged back to Nectar if desired.

Just wondering when the bonus Avios will be received, anyone received theirs or have any insider info?
