Earn 50 Nectar points (31 Avios) per £1 at eBay this lunchtime
Links on Head for Points may pay us an affiliate commission. A list of partners is here.
A quick reminder that, if you are targeted, Nectar and eBay are running their slightly crazy Black Friday offer today.
For one hour – between noon and 1pm today (Friday) – you will receive 50 Nectar points per £1 you spend.
This offer only seems to be available via the Nectar app under ‘Partner Offers’, although not for everyone. If you don’t see it in the app, try registering via this page of the Nectar website.
The base earning rate at eBay is 1 Nectar point (0.625 Avios) per £1 spent. With this offer, you would receive 50 Nectar points worth 31.25 Avios per £1 spent.
Importantly, as with all recent Nectar / eBay offers, there is a cap of 300 base Nectar points per transaction. This means that you will only earn the bonus on the first £300 you spend. Your Nectar earning is capped at (£300 x 50) 15,000 points which would convert into 9,375 Avios.
If you value an Avios at 1p, you are getting a 31% rebate on your spending.
What is the small print?
Before you can earn Nectar points from eBay, you need to link your Nectar and eBay accounts via the link on this page and register for the offer via the Nectar app.
There is a £10 minimum spend required. Only ‘Buy It Now’ items will qualify.
You can only earn the bonus on one ITEM. It isn’t clear what happens if you put multiple items in your basket.
The standard eBay rules on excluded categories will apply. Full details of excluded categories are here.
The eBay home page is here. You can find out more about the Nectar partnership, and link your card, on this special eBay page.
