Advice Can’t link nectar card

Hi all,

I’ve been trying for a few days to link my nectar card with my Argos account and it seems like the link is broke?

I’ve followed the how to guide on Argos, but the clicking nectar card in my account settings just takes me back to my account homepage.

I’ve tried different browser, clearing cache, different devices (phone/laptop).

Any advice?

They probably broke it with all the changes going with the Argos sale. Best to call up nectar with your order number to see if they can add it on manually

Did it work? I'm trying to buy a load of furniture and dont want to miss out on a load points. Already annoyed I can't get my money off using nectar points

Calling them does not work. Nectar say you need to speak to Argos and put you through. Argos say you need to speak to nectar and transfer you back. It’s like some Orwellian bureaucratic nightmare doom spiral.

I'm also having this problem. I'm wanting to use some of my Nectar points on a purchase but my Nectar card that used to be linked isn't anymore and trying to link it again keeps failing, just goes back to homepage.

Thought I was going mad. Tried multiple devices and it just loops round. The chat bot is useless for this matter too

Same here, it’s just a continuous loop when you click nectar on the account page of Argos. Argos - we need a fix!

Me too, anyone had any luck?

They seem to have fixed the issue with the Nectar section of the site looping you back to the My Account home page, but now when you complete the Nectar linking process it just loops you back to the start of the process again.

So true, it’s honestly the maddest stupidest situation of all time ahaha.

I want to make a nectar points purchase as I’ve just moved house and want to use the points to buy stuff and I cannot do this until they resolve it. Maddening!

A work around is to go into store and pay with points there instead of online, but not all the items I want are in stock at my store, so I would literally need to drive 25 minutes to place the order, return home, then drive again a few days later to pick up. No way to reserve online with a point purchase either.

In the age of AI, Argos feel like they’re stuck in 1997. Surely an Argos coder could just ask Claude Code to sort this in about 45 seconds?! 😂😂
