What Can I Do With 20000 Nectar Points?

If you are looking to sign up for the American Express Nectar Credit Card you might be wondering what the sign-up bonus of 20000 Nectar Points is worth? (You’ll need to spend £2,000 within 3 months to get it.) Read on to find out what travel opportunities 20000 Nectar points will give you!

Am I eligible for the 20000 Nectar points sign-up bonus?

To be eligible for this bonus you can’t have held or currently hold any personal American Express in the last 24 months. By taking this card out you also stop yourself getting a bonus on any other personal American Express card except for the British Airways American Express® Premium Plus Card and the Platinum Card. For further information on eligibility take a look at our article here – https://pointsuncovered.com/american-express/amex-changes-sign-up-bonus-eligibility/

If you are completely new to Amex you may interested in taking a look at our Fast Track to 250,000 Marriott Points or Fast Track to 200,000 Avios Points.

You can also be referred by myself for the American Express Nectar Credit Card, you will receive an additional 1000 points. Get a referral here – https://pointsuncovered.com/amex-referral-link-uk/

Please note…

This is my experience using the points system and is not a recommendation of any financial product. There are other credit cards which can earn you travel points including IHG credit card, Tesco Credit Cards (by exchanging Clubcard points for avios, hotel stays and more) & Virgin Atlantic credit card. If you use one of my links for a referral to an American Express card upon you being accepted I will receive points, this varies between 9,000 – 18,000 depending on the card I refer you from.
