Bits: Good LNER Nectar rail redemption deal, Still 5% off SNO ski holidays

News in brief:

Good Nectar redemption offer with LNER

If you are sitting on a stash of Nectar points, there is an interesting offer at the moment which can get you 1p per Nectar point. This is double the usual redemption rate and so well worth having.

It is targeted, but widely targeted. You need to look at the offers section of the Nectar app or log in to the website to see if it is there.

Redeem Nectar points for an LNER trains e-voucher before 19th December and you will get 50% of the points back.

This is how it would work if you had a 4,000 points balance:

Redeem 4,000 Nectar points for a £20 LNER e-voucher

Receive 2,000 Nectar points back into your account (it isn’t clear how long this takes)

You have paid a net 2,000 points for your £20 voucher which means 1p per point

LNER e-vouchers are valid for “at least” 12 months after you’ve added them to your LNER account. They can ONLY be used on LNER Advance tickets, Standard or First. Given how hard it is to get more than 0.5p per Nectar point, this offer is worth a look if you are a regular LNER traveller. Do not redeem unless you see the offer in your Nectar account, however.
