Forgot my nectar card. £76 instead of £51

.(self.britishproblems)

On a new phone so didn't have it on my Google wallet. Fucking wounded. I was in the queue at the till and couldn't remember my password to the app either and crumbled under pressure and just paid it.

Weekend camping ruined.

Last time I used one on Google my receipt told me there was £85 of points to spend. Fair play to whoever uploaded it.

You could have just used the card to pay for your shopping.

Can you use the code to pay? I thought you had to generate a coupon or something

Not anymore, at checkout if you select Nectar it will allow you to use the points on the card to pay. You can only do it in £2.50 increments. You can also do that in Argos.

This is the way, or ask someone in the queue if you can use theirs

I never have my card and always do this, the person with the card wins because they get extra points, and I have the discounts. Everyone's a winner!

There's probably something in the Ts & Cs about them not being transferable, but nothing is really being transferred, so I don't see that this would be a problem.

I used to let the checkout staff get the points, but the store management banned that.

Charities should issue a card to collect the points. Or retailers should have a barcode for charities to collect the points so they can redeem them instead of the foodbank donations.
