Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.The deal
To mark a decade of Nectar, American Express is offering new Nectar credit card holders the chance to receive up to 10,000 bonus points.
Good points
It's worth up to £50 to those accepted for the card by 7 November.
Bad points
To get the deal you'll need to put at least £1,000 on the card in the first three months that you have it.
Conclusion
Loyalty schemes are not really rewards but marketing exercises. They are designed to encourage you to spend your money, in this case at certain stores using certain plastic cards. If you don't use stores such as Sainsbury's or Homebase, then they're pretty worthless, although the points can be used to help people through Oxfam Unwrapped.
