Hi we did a big spend in Sainsburys the other day for towels and the cashier handed a voucher which could be used the following day onwards till this Saturday, its for 500 points which is £2.50 (not a lot but always pop in for bits so there Saturday)


Do I just take something to the till and it gets knocked off or do I buy something for £1 then scan voucher for it to be loaded to my card then buy something using points on card?


Is it money off voucher or bonus points voucher to card?

    it gets added onto your other Nectar points - you'll probably need to take it to CS

    Whenever I got those sort of vouchers it said spend £X and get 250 points. So I guess if it doesn't specify the amount you need to spend, then just spend £1 and hand the voucher to the cashier and you should get the points.

    The vouchers are to get you back in the store every week, they usually have an expiry date of a week.

    I had one of these online but only saw it yesterday when it expired. I did go into Sainsbury's and spent about £8 on things I needed anyway. Came out with three new vouchers, although very unlikely to use any of them as they are quite short-dated.

    I got one of these the other day. The assistant just scanned it onto my Nectar card straight away, I didn't need to spend anything else.

    I think the till assistants were told that, for the duration of the promotion, they could scan one of those but if you had multiple vouchers you needed to go to Customer Services.

    I've no idea, now that the promo is over, whether you can scan them on self-service tills or assisted ones.I think I'd just go to CS first to get the points added, then shop.

    I got a 500 points voucher but my husband & my daughter were both lucky enough to get 2000.
