Get More Nectar Points for Fuel Purchases

For those of you who collect Nectar points with your fuel purchases, a friend told me about a little fact that I didn't realise that may be helpful to get your total up.

Like most people I always went to BP where you got 1 Nectar point per litre of fuel. However, if you go to Sainsburys for your fuel (where it is sometimes cheaper) you get 2 Nectar points for each £1.00 that you spend. With fuel at about £1.00 per litre you effectively get double Nectar points at Sainsburys when compared with purchasing at BP.

I do a lot of miles each week and have been buying Sainsburys fuel for a few months now, and have really noticed my Nectar points total starting to shoot up.

Hope it helps.

    Better off getting a Shell credit card, £10 free fuel (or other shopping) just by using it, then a point per litre. or more points if you choose Optimax.

    Plus special promotions, bonus points, depending how much you buy.

    & better quality fuel, so nicer for your engine.

    Find a Shell station near supermarket, then you get best of both, when they price match each other!!
