Our Verdict
The American Express UK Nectar credit card carries a £30 annual fee (£0 for the first year). New members can earn up to 20,000 Nectar points by spending £2,000 within the first three months of membership. For those who use the card for everyday spending and typically reach this amount within three months, the rewards can effectively cover the annual fee and more.
