SAINSBURY’S shoppers can DOUBLE their Nectar points from today as the supermarket brings back its popular rewards event.
The annual Double Up Nectar Rewards scheme will see customers exchange loyalty points for digital vouchers worth twice as much as they do outside of the event.
Sainsbury’s customers can claim vouchers worth twice as many loyalty points that they’ve collected
Normally, members earn one Nectar point for every £1 spent at Sainsbury’s, which is worth 0.5p to make a purchase.
Customers need a minimum of 1,000 points worth £5 before they can spend them, but in the double up event, they’re worth £10 when you shop.
Outside of the shopping bonanza, you would need to spend £2,000 in store before earning enough points to claim a £10 voucher.
Cardholders can pre-order physical vouchers via their Nectar account online from today until November 3, which will be posted to their registered address.
But they’ll have to hold off for another week before spending them as the double up vouchers can only be used in shops between November 11 and November 17.
Alternatively, shoppers who use the Nectar app can claim their digital vouchers instantly at any time during the event and use them to spend straight away.
The idea behind the scheme is to offer customers a helping hand ahead of the festive season.
The vouchers can be spent across 11 different departments, such as Tu clothing, electrical, toys, Taste the Difference alcohol, homeware, seasonal, fragrance, cosmetics, skincare and gifts.
You won’t be able to use them to pay for things like petrol or online groceries, or in other Nectar shops like Argos.
Frustratingly, you’ll also have to choose the category you want to spend the voucher in before downloading it – you can’t use it to buy products from multiple departments.
The vouchers much be spent in one go too.
