Points
Why are my Nectar points missing?
If your Nectar points are missing, it could be due to a number of reasons, including a delay in points being added to your account. Nectar points are generally added within 48 hours after your transaction, and should automatically reflect in your account.
If 48 hours have passed since your purchase, contact us via phone or click on the Live Chat button on the bottom right corner of your screen for quick assistance.

I'm missing Nectar points for my online shopping — what do I do?
Follow these checks:
1. Time delay: Points from online purchases can take up to 35 days to appear. For financial products or services, allow an additional 14 days due to cooling•off periods.
2. Purchase exclusions: Some items may not qualify for points. Visit the Nectar website, search for the brand, and check the terms and conditions.
3. Tracking issues: If cookies were deleted or your browser was in private/incognito mode, your purchase may not have been tracked.
4. Referral sites: Switching to another referral site mid•purchase can break tracking, meaning points won’t be added.
If you’ve completed these checks and points are still missing, chat to a Nectar help colleague.
