Sainsbury's Nectar Rewards Nectar is a reward program owned by Sainsburys. When you join Nectar you earn points when you spend money at Sainsbury and their reward partners. You can then use those points to pay for your shopping, or exchange them for days out, meals or even vouchers. An excellent way to save money. There's a wide range of Nectar partners where you can earn and spend reward points, many of them houselhold names. Argos, eBay, British Airways, Esso, Sky, Dulux, VUE Cinemas, Eurostar and many more. You earn 1 point for each pound that you spend, so each point is worth 0.5p. So in it's basic form nectar is a 0.5% reduction on your spending. This doesn't sound like much, but when it can cover your food bill (1 point per £ at Sainsbury), your petrol bill (1 point per litre at Esso or Sainsbury petrol stations), your eBay spending (1 point per £) and even some of your household bills the savings can add up fast. You can earn much more than this though. Often you'll find promotions where you can earn free points, and some of the partners offer better rates. It's not unusual to get thousands of free reward points when you sign up with companies like Sky, or to be offered double or treble the cash in rate on your points with selected partners during promotions. You'll also get vouchers to claim extra points on items you buy regularly from Sainsburys. When they notice you like a product you may get vouchers for 20/30/50 free points when you next buy it. This can mean real savings every time you shop. It's entirely free to become a nectar member. Nectar is one of the countries most popular reward schemes, with over 18 million members. We think everyone should have a Nectar card to help them save money. |
