FGW▸ (First Great Western) have today announced that tickets bought through their website will be eligible to collect Nectar Points.

2 points for every ^1 spent on tickets

From a poster I saw outside the ScotRail admin office it's all First Group companies which are involved in the Nectar offer.

Would seem to be the case. ScotRail's website homepage has gone Nectar purple!

http://www.scotrail.co.uk/

TransPennine Express also mention Nectar on their homepage, as do Hull Trains.

Can't see anything Nectar related at First Capital Connect though.

With the FGW▸ (First Great Western) site you also get Nectar points at the rate of 2 per ^1 on purchases of Rovers and Rangers including the All Line Rover.

At present it seems you cannot collect points on tickets bought via the FGW phone app.

I think you can if your app is linked to your online account?

Currently offering double points until, I think, 23 April.

Rumours are that it goes up to 4 points for every ^1 as of April 14th. (Source http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/deals/nectar?utm_source=MSE_Newsletter&utm_medium=oneliner-three&utm_term=08-Apr-14-lt&utm_campaign=deals&utm_content=11).

Its on all FG TOCs▸ (Train Operating Company) booking engines and you'll get 100 points if you register your card for the first time. So im wondering if you register on all 5 sites would you get 500 points:??

Not available on the app yet I'm afraid. Initially it is only going to be via WebTIS.

That's quite an arrangement Nectar have come to there. Can Nectar points be redeemed against train tickets I wonder?

To reflect the fact that you can collect Nectar Points with ticket purchases through all FirstGroup TOCs▸ (Train Operating Company), not just FGW▸ (First Great Western), I've re-named this topic.

I've registered my Nectar card with all five of their TOCs. Just waiting to see if I get 5 lots of welcome bonus points. Smiley

My 100 points from FGW▸ (First Great Western) have already registered.  Just linked my card on all the other First sites so I don't forget when I book with them.

And also noticed that my 1000 points for buying anything (I bought a ^1 tomato plant) at Homebase registered too.  (Brucey top tip: check your Nectar bonus offers online regularly)
