    you'll need to activate your card at each store you wish to redeem your points in. To activate a new Sainsbury's supermarket simply shop at that store and use your Nectar card. 24 hours later your card will be active at that store and you'll be able to redeem points on your next visit. The points are instantly deducted from your account and the discount taken off your shopping bill. You can activate your card at as many stores as you like, and they'll remain active as long as you visit them once every 12 months.
    Every 500 points is worth £2.50 off your shopping and you can redeem as many blocks of 500 points as you like, up to the total cost of your shopping.
    There are a few exceptions such as petrol stations but you can still redeem your Nectar points in those too. In these instances, you can simply pre-order Sainsburys vouchers. See 'How to get your treat' for full details. Please note the you can't use your Nectar points for Sainsbury's online shopping.

    You must have spent over £1 and earned Nectar points in store in the last 60 weeks in order to be able to redeem points on your next visit (excluding petrol stations).

    I signed up to Nectar 10 years ago in the town I was living in at the time...and moved 35 miles away shortly after, ironically right next to a Sainsburys, so although this is where I shop every week I have been accumulating and seen no benefit to the "rewards" collected through the card even though the address was changed some time ago!

    Thanks for that - i will let her know. She left her posh custard behind, and i'm visiting her this weekend, so i am very annoyed!
  • well, I did not know you could activate your card in more than one shop... thanks for that! I take it this is nationwide?? I have always thought how silly it is that you can only use the points in a certain store !
    I have had brain surgery - sorry if I am a little confused sometimes ;)

    Yes it applies at all Sainsburys stores. They scapped the need for having a home store years ago.
