    I reckon the Amex card looks the best deal.

    You get 5000 bonus points on start-up (spend £500 within 3 months) and if you spend a lot per month (over £500) you get an extra 500 points.

    I daresay there are more rewarding programs out there, but if it's specifically Nectar points you're after I reckon the Amex is the one to go for.

    Do bear in mind that Amex are harsh credit scorers.

    Also looking at the 'spend elsewhere' (i.e. not Sainsbury's / Nectar participants) Amex beats the Sainsbury's card hands down:

    Amex:
    • 1 point for virtually every full £1 spent on the Card everywhere else
    Sainsbury's:
    • Earn Nectar points when you use your Sainsbury's Nectar Credit Card elsewhere - 1 point for every £5 you spend
    Just as long as the Amex is accepted where you want to use it!
