Sainsburys Personal Loans

Dear members
I am looking at taking out a loan with sainsburys. They appear to give better rates for those with nectar cards. I intend to register a nectar card today (have one in front of me) but as i have no points and not likely to have any for a week or so, would you think that this would be sufficient to get the rate with sainsburys?

thanks for reading and any inputs!

    Why dont you just buy some stuff from Sainsburys and get some points if it matters?

    I don't believe the amount of points you have will make a difference.

    The rates that don't include 'extras' like more nectar card points are far better anyway. You may earn loads more nectar points, but they aren't exactly worth much.

    If you did find you needed to use the nectar card somewhere to activate it before you get the rate offered - there are loads of online websites you can earn points on as well as other stores, its not only Sainsbury's.
    You should be able to something to buy (maybe a music download from amazon or something as you are offshore)?
