Keywords: anomalous Nernst effect, planar Nernst effect, Spin Seebeck effect.We report the planar and anomalous Nernst effect in epitaxial thin films of spin polarized La 2/3 Sr 1/3 MnO 3 . The thermal counterpart of the anomalous Hall effect in this material (i.e. the anomalous Nernst effect) shows a extreme sensitivity to any parasitic thermal gradient, resulting in large asymmetric voltages under small temperature differences. This should be considered when interpreting the magnitude of the electrical response in nanostructures and devices that operate under high current densities. Finally, none of the observed magneto-thermoelectric signals is compatible with the observation of the Spin Seebeck Effect in this material.The discovery of intrinsic Spin Seebeck Effect (SSE) in magnetic materials, irrespective of their conductivity, opens unforeseen possibilities for the creation and manipulation of pure spin currents (spin caloritronics) as well as of energy harvesting [ 1,2,3]. Basically, when a thermal gradient is established parallel to the magnetization of a ferromagnet (FM), spin angular momentum is transported along the system in response to the temperature difference. This time-varying magnetization is able to pump a pure spin current at the interface with a paramagnetic metal (normally Pt), which is then transformed into a transverse electrical current via inverse spin Hall effect [4].In FM metals, the different density of states and Fermi velocities for the spin up/down population produce different conductivities for the opposite spin directions [5].Therefore when the spin lifetime is larger than the momentum relaxation time, a spin-
