Get triple nectar this weekend at Sainsbury's Friday - Monday.

When you spend £1 you usually get 2points, so this weekend you would get 6points!

Excluding saving stamps, car parking tickets, vending machines, cashback, postage stamps, gift vouchers, baby milk products, lottery tickets, tobacco kiosk and proprietary medicine.

    Sainsbury's is a very good supermarket. Much better than Tesco imo.

    But Nectar is a very poor loyalty card scheme in comparison with Tesco Clubcard. The choice of places to spend your points, and the 4x multiple on vouchers at Clubcard, makes Nectar look like rubbish.

    Given that Nectar is so inferior, I'm not sure why they bother. Just give us shoppers the value of the vouchers and the cost of running the scheme as lower prices. Or run a loyalty scheme that makes an effort to come close to clubcard.

    Nectar = rubbish!

    We've found it much better now they've added ASK onto the deal with it being worth 2x value. Although I agree Clubcarad is better, we do most of our shopping in Sainsburys as they are the cheapest for us. The occasional free meal out we get is an added bonus.

    I normally save my points for my Christmas shop and end up with over £100 to take off the bill, just hard to leave them to accumulate and not spend them!

    Why don't you buy a sainsburys gift card with them instead and leave them at home, then when you go shopping you won't be tempted to just knock the points off - I've started changing my points to different gift cards and will either use them at xmas or treat myself if I go somewhere for girly shopping day!

    Even better I got a mailshot with voucher for £12 off a £60 spend for each of the next 6 weeks.

    Makes their beer offers even more attractive!
