!Note - Nectar is a loyalty card scheme in the United Kingdom (we discussed these schemes on Skype and on the forum).  Customers shop at partner companies and use the card to collect Nectar points.  Partner companies include the supermarket chain Sainsbury's, as featured in this advert.  Points are collected at a rate of around two points for every £1 spent, but the number of points on offer can vary, fuel for instance, collects points at a rate of one point per litre.  The points can then be exchanged for a range of non-cash rewards.
