Sainsburys - new Till Coupons

samjboy

Did anyone else see the announcment in the press about the new Sainsbursy till based coupons?

What do they look like? Does anybody have a scan of one they can upload as I'm very curious?

Also where are they, my local Sainsbury in Aylesbury doesn't seem to do them. I have tried with my Nectar card and without but don't ever get them!

I think Tesco have done this for a long time as I remember getting weekly till coupons. We used to get ones for things like the meat counter, cat food and pringles? Is the Sainsburys scheme the same?

Never heard about these before, but I await with anticipation, Thanks OP!


ETA: There's a bit about it here .

And here.

Only spent £6.00.
Sorry have thrown them away so I cant show you what they look like.

Hi, I know a little about these coupons, I work there on a Sunday and they have just 'gone live' in the last week or so for us. I only have info that has been fed to me from person to person so far but here goes...These till spits, as far as I know are mainly for Nectar card users. You do not get one every time you shop, it tends to work out about once every six shops so I've been told. So kind of like a lucky dip, if you like.

How it works is it looks into your historic shops (saved by Nectar) and taps into things you actually buy, so theoretically you should get coupons for things you will actually want to buy. However if, when you registered your Nectar card you opted out of updates/mailers/newsletters etc you will only get a coupon based on the shop you have just done, not a historic shop. So the theory is if you are opted in to receive updates/newsletter etc you will get more useful coupons. If you did opt out (or are unsure if you did or not) give Nectar a ring, or go on their website (this should be quicker than trying to speak to someone I find!!) and change your details and opt in for marketing, this allows them to use your previous purchases to provide you with coupons you will actually use.

I'm not 100% sure whether people without a Nectar card miss out, they possibly get a ticket based on that particular shop rather than historic aswell. Though am not sure on this, can anyone else clarify?

Hope that made sense and helps a bit anyway

I've had a couple of good ones from sainsbury's, but that was with a nectar card. Tesco now do some really good ones too. Got a £10 off voucher once!

These printers are being installed (if not already) in most stores. They print colour coupons which look like this sort of thing
but as far as I know, they aren't currently doing £5 off £30 ones. We'll have to see.

Also, if you don't have a nectar card i found this on the net:
The new scheme will also reward customers without a Nectar card by giving out coupons based on what was in shoppers’ basket that day. (http://www.thegrocer.co.uk/articles.aspx?page=articles&ID=203675)

Wow colour print outs - I will definately not miss these then! I thought they were going to be on normal till receipt paper like the Tesco ones.

I will try another Sainsbury stores near me, in case I get lucky. I could do with that £5 off £30 one.

It is actually a separate printer next to the receipt one.
It looks like this:
They might not be live in your store yet, but they will all be up and running by november.

I know only a few weeks have passed since I last asked but I wondered if anybody had noticed these during their Sainsbury shop?

I have still had no luck finding any of these? Maybe they aren't printing them in the town centre stores?

3 stores near me do them at the moment, and my store starts next week. 1 of the stores that does them is a Sainsbury's Central. They'll be in all stores soon (november sometime i think)

They are installing them into stores in the order of least complexity. So smaller stores with newer tills are likely to get them sooner than larger stores or stores will older tills. The store I used to work in was the second in our region to get them and we had new tills put in two weeks before that.
