Today is the last day that you’ll be able to earn Nectar points when shopping at Debenhams, as Debenhams has decided to exit the Nectar scheme. They sent out an email which, when taken to Debenhams with a Nectar card, will get you £15 of money-off vouchers.
Alternatives: Looking for a replacement? If you shop at Debenhams and want an alternative way of being rewarded, now that Debenhams is no longer with Nectar… Consider the MBNA Rewards card. You collect points when you shop, and these points can be exchanged for cash or High Street vouchers (including Debenhams vouchers). More details at consumerdeals.co.uk/finance.html
You can earn Nectar points from other partners, including Dollond and Aitchison, Sainsburys, AA, BP, Ford, Hertz. You can also get points off household bills with EDF Energy and TalkTalk. See our list at consumerdeals.co.uk/nectar.html#earn. Check out the 5,000 Bonus Points offer too.

On a quest for the perfect home cappuccino, but don’t want to have to spend ages cleaning a coffee machine? Our quest for the perfect frothy coffee took us through a range of hard-to-clean cappuccino machines, and even a dalliance with the Tassimo – but then we found the Magimix Nespresso with Aeroccino. 12 varieties of coffee – minimal cleaning, and frothy milk. Well work a look.
See our detailed review of the Nespresso M100 for details.
