Which Loyalty scheme is better tesco or nectar?

DealMeUpBaby

Hi
If I am going to sign up to a loyalty scheme of either tesco clubcard or the nectar one - can anyone advise which one would be better for me investing my time and money in terms of reward for the amount of money spent to get a return on groceries in tesco or sainsburys stores?
Thanks

Tesco by a squillion miles but sell at double value or exchange for deals at 4 times value rather than spending vouchers in store. www.paidtoshop.co.uk is the site you need.

Agree- Tesco wins hands down- even before the doubled the points allowance per pound spent.

Nectar pays double points per £1, but 500 points = £2.50
Tesco pays double points per £1, and 500 points = £5 or if you want, you can double it up so you get £10 worth of clothes, magazine subscriptions, health and beauty, toys....and there are various other deals that you can get £20 per 500 points.

Makes Sainsburys look like a joke!

You can sign up to both, there's nothing stopping you from doing that.

Nectar points are available on a lot of internet shopping if you go through http://www.nectar.com/dynamic/estores/nectar/home

That's my thoughts, sign to both and then you have plenty of options regardless of where you shop. I get points on my Tesco card from Eon, Expedia & Homebase area amongst many that give Nectar points.

I do both as well - I use Nectar purely for online shopping - amazon etc as BA Stores don't use them - I'm saving for an iron at the mo.

I use Tesco for the shopping and Eon, and then trade in for BA Miles which I only use for upgrades as if you use them for buying tickets, you might as well flush them down the loo. I also use BA Shopping for Ebay etc and am now up to over 100,000 miles - saving for upgrades to Oz!

Maybe I don't get this, but what admin are you talking about??

You know that all you do is to apply for the card and then carry it around with you, don't you....?

I also have both. And Boots as well. My Nectar is nearly not used, just Eon points go there and occassionaly when I am in town I go to Saisburys when it's close to where I am...

Also shop via them on Amazon, while I like to use Amazon for books etc I might as well get points from it..

Pitty of every point that goes to loss!

God yes - I have just about every loyalty card out there - I have a House Of Fraser c/Card that I pay off as soon as I spend on it as I get the points on that.

The Boots card - just bought myself a lovely Babyliss hairdryer and still have points left for Xmas.

Waterstones card currently has over £20 worth on ready for Xmas.

Starbucks card is for the free shots and syrups - I load it up once a month, purely for the freebies - plus the odd mailshot they send for a free drink.

Every single airline I go with also has a scheme - KLM, Virgin and BA - I've got enough for flights with them all now:D

No extra work needed - just your memory;)

I have both Tesco and Nectar but only use the Nectar. Agreed the points arn't as good as Tesco, but I use Nectar for online shopping and collect points through doing surveys, I then use it for shopping at Argos at Christmas time along with any Argos vouchers collected through the year from other survey sites.

I have Tesco, Nectar, BHS, Boots and Waterstones. I would have had HMV if they hadn't tried to charge me £3 for it - really not worth it as rarely shop there.

No admin, simply carry the cards. Must have saved me a fortune over the years. My daughter is following suit, she is 19 and already has Boots, Nectar and Tesco!
