    I also get no vouchers, but my flatmates keep getting them because they have lost their nectar cards and haven been bothered to get new ones sent out. As a result it is rare I don't have some form of double points/bonus points or money off coupon :D Plus people leaving their till spits lying around. It does annoy me though it is because if you are a loyal customer why should they bother to entice yo back? You are already going!

    The app sometimes has some good deals for me too although I find again most of the time it is in a similar vein of trying to get you to buy up so I always get offers for bonus points for organic stuff etc. but I have also just got double points and bonus points ones before.

    yep my husband who only gets petrol from there gets £8 off £40 spends regularly. I get nout!
    Can he use these against petrol or do you end up shopping there as a result? It can be handy if Tu have a 50% sale on, or if you need laundry stuff, toilet rolls and other expensive household goods that work out better value when bought in bulk, esp if you buy on offer.

    My mum only goes in S about once a fortnight. Got some £6 off £30 vouchers which she used on 3 for £10 meats, 3 for £12 wine and offers on washing and cleaning stuff
  • This is a bone of contention with me too. A while back I stopped shopping at Sainsbury's because of what I consider it's unfair treatment of regular customers and started shopping at Asda instead. I really dislike Asda, mainly because of it's abysmal stock control, especially on any decent offers. However, I persevered for a while before resorting back to Sainsbury's and, sure enough, I got better till spits because of my absence eg £4 off a £40 shop, £3 off a £30 shop etc. Unfortunately this didn't last long and I am now back to 160 points for a £40 spend etc. No thanks Sainsbury's, as much as I dislike them I am off back to Asda again for a while!!

    Having read your other thread regarding transfering points from your deceased mothers card, you would be much better off posting on the consumer rights board.

    When you pick up a nectar leaflet it has a nectar card in it, you can use the card immediately to collect points but it is unregistered so you can't spend the points until you give your details to nectar and they register the card in your name.
  • I got some the other day for £3 off a £15 spend. There were four lots of those and then an extra 2000 points (£10) if you use all four coupons. Pretty generous I thought. The thing is I do actually shop in Sainsbury's a lot, but I rarely spend more than a fiver each time, so I guess they just want me to spend more. They always give me very generous coupons.
