I can't see this posted so thought I'd remind people that this starts tomorrow as it was a while since it was in the email.

    I know they can't be doubled at sainsburys but what about Argos and homebase?
    Can't see how else I could benefit from this as I wasn't planning on going to Alton towers or the sea life centre!

    I thought this was going to be for everything, a little disappointed because it's quite limited.
  • Hi 3010,

    Thanks for reminding others about the Nectar double-up. We've got the full details of the Nectar exchange on the MSE Sainsbury's page. Do let us know what you're planning to use your stash of points on!

    Anyone going to try and use this alongside an Orange Wednesday code? I know it says not valid with any other offers, but might be worth a try.

    I'm a bit confused by the terms and conditions (Doesn't take much!).

    I was hoping to swap enough vouchers for a family ticket for 5 for Warwick Castle, a staggering £132 on the gate. But the terms state only one voucher (max £30) to be used per person per transaction. So I would only be able to get £30 off.

    Even if I split us into 2 transactions, paying for 1 adult + 1 child and 1 adult + 2 children separately, I would only get £60 off. So it would still cost me nearly £80.

    Bit disappointing as I had anticipated a free day out. I think I will be passing on this one unless anyone can think of a better way round it?

    And, looking at the website, I can get a family ticket online, as long as I book 7 days in advance for £79.20 which makes the Nectar promotion even more of a joke!

    what a waste of time. I'm glad Tesco aren't as stingey with their offers,

    I wish they would let you double up to spend in a Sainsbury's store. I could get a start on the Xmas shopping then :o

    Get BOGOF vouchers for 1 adult, 3 children.

    Use Nectar points for the 2nd adult.

    Still not free, I grant you, but if you want to go, this may be a cheaper way.

    And booking 7 days in advance does get a 40% family ticket discount.

    Thank you bylromarha! I knew someone more savvy than me would work out a cheaper way!

    To be honest, though, it was the allure of a free day out that was exciting me. We have been to Warwick Castle a few times so am not desperate to go. I just was a bit surprised there were so many caveats to using the double-up scheme.

    Ok, I'm also confused!

    If we wanted to go to the sea life centre @ £15 per person, would we exchange for 3000 points, so would still cost £5 each? Just to clarify!?
    Spreading a little Christmas joy all year round :santa2:
