Sounds like big advert for collecting points. I've never bothered. I'll take the house and car though.

The price of loyalty
You get the car and the house, I get the Nectar points: Divorcing couples now argue over supermarket loyalty cards as recession bites, claim lawyers
The divorce papers are about to be signed, husband and wife have succeeded in dividing up their property, their cash and even their pensions.
But then comes the issue of who is going to get the Tesco Clubcard points and who will keep the Air Miles – and it’s back to the lawyers.
Divorces are increasingly being delayed by couples rowing over supermarket and airline loyalty points as the recession continues to bite, family law firm Pannone says.
Partner Ed Kitchen said arguments about how to split loyalty points are often ‘deal-breakers’, causing friction between couples who have succeeded in reaching a settlement over their finances with relative ease.
‘Establishing a fair divorce settlement involves calculating what someone will lose out on as a result of not being married,’ Mr Kitchen added.
‘Traditionally, that has meant considering things like pensions or health insurance. Now, though, people realise the value of points accrued through loyalty schemes.’
He went on: ‘When you consider that it can cost several thousand pounds a year to pay for the family holidays and even discounted groceries that these schemes provide, it is perhaps no wonder that separating spouses are demanding either the points themselves or money in lieu of the points.’
