It started with Nectar

How does it work?

You can link any one Nectar account to one British Airways Executive Club account or vice versa. You can link to a friend or family members account but can only ever be linked to one account.

How do I link my account?

You can link your accounts by following the link from either ba.com or the Nectar website.

How many accounts can I link to?

You can link one Nectar account to one Executive Club account or vice versa. You can change the accounts you have linked up to a maximum of 4 times per year.

How will I know my accounts have been successfully linked?

You will receive a confirmation email after you have linked your accounts. You can also check your linked status on the Nectar website and on the Executive Club Exchange.

How do I convert points?

Once you’ve linked your accounts, you can convert points between accounts by following the link from either ba.com or the Nectar website.

How can I convert points automatically?

You can choose to set up auto-conversion. Every week we will convert your entire balance, in your chosen direction, up to the automatic exchange limit. Balances will be converted in increments of 400 Nectar points or 250 Avios.

What are the minimum number of points I can convert?

Avios are converted in increments of 250 Avios and Nectar points in increments of 400. The minimum number of points you can exchange are 250 Avios and 400 Nectar points.

We’ll automatically convert up to a maximum of 25,000 Avios or 40,000 Nectar points per quarter in a calendar year.

I have opted in to automatically convert my points, can I change the direction I send them?

Yes you can. Just cancel your original auto-conversion, and then re-join changing the direction you wish to convert.

I automatically convert my points, can I also make manual conversions?

Yes, as long as they are within the quarterly and monthly limits as outlined above. The limits are independent of one another.

I am a member of a British Airways Executive Club Household account, can I still link to a Nectar account?

Yes, each individual Executive Club account member can link to a Nectar account.

Is it just the ‘Head’ of the British Airways Executive Club Household Account that can link to a Nectar account?

No, any member can link.

I am a Nectar secondary card holder, can I link to a British Airways Executive Club account?

Yes, any account holder can link – but each Nectar card can only be linked to one Executive Club account. Therefore, each card holder must link to a different Executive Club account.

When will my bonus points be credited to my account?

This is dependent on independent campaign Terms and Conditions.

Where else can I collect Nectar/Avios points?

You can collect Nectar points with any other Nectar collection partner, see Nectar website for collection partners. You can collect Avios with any other Avios collection partner, visit here for collection partners.

Can I use my Avios in Sainsbury’s stores?

Who can I contact for further information?

You can contact Nectar at Nectar Website or British Airways here.

I can’t remember which British Airways Executive Club or Nectar account I linked to

The last four digits of the account you’re linked to will feature in the Nectar email you received when you linked. Your British Airways Executive Club number will also be displayed when logged in on the Nectar or Executive Club Exchange page.

My converted Nectar points have left my account but have not been credited to my British Airways Executive Club account (and vice versa)

Points are usually converted within minutes. However, you may have received a ‘pending message’ when converting. Please keep checking your Executive Club Account or Nectar Account to see if your points have been correctly added.

If it’s been longer than 24 hours and the points are not showing, please contact us on 0344 811 0811 for Nectar and raise a missing Avios form for BA.

I have changed my mind and would like to get my Nectar points back (and vice versa)

You can simply complete a manual conversion in the opposite direction to get your points back - so long as you’re within your monthly manual exchange limit.
