Nectar/sainsburys coupons in post?

Why do some people get vouchers posted to them while others don't?

The people who get them posted does it happen monthly? I see people in front of me with £12 off a spend of 60+ and petrol vouchers etc but I've never been posted anything by nectar. I've checked my settings and there's nothing wrong, also tried using a new nectar card to see if that had any effect but no.

Here is an example of the vouchers I'm on about http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-2FgmgSSv_Fc/Uymm0mdhVNI/AAAAAAAAH8Y/aETr1afIUps/s1600/IMG_6265.JPG

  • Hi
    I would be really interested to know the answer to this as I too never receive these vouchers and like you have seen other people with them. I have always assumed that because I spend a lot of money there is no need to send me incentives to shop.

    I sometimes got them in sets of 3 for £18 off a £90 spend and 500 extra points for using all 3 but most recently got a much worse deal with a till print to get 6,500 points for spending £90 on 5 occasions.
    Didn't seem to be any pattern to the posted ones it could be several months between them then 2 sets with just a couple of weeks gap.

    I recently had £6 off £30 for 6 weeks posted to me. I am not a big shopper at Sainsburys (Aldi first then top up at one of Tesco, asda, Sains) for the stuff aldi don't sell. I imagine therefore its to encourage me to use sainsburys more, which I have done for the duration of the vouchers only.
    If you don't get vouchers posted, try going to another supermarket for a few months maybe with the odd tiny shop at Sains so they think they have lost you? You might get some vouchers then. HTH

    Like Clowance says, sometimes used to tempt back infrequent shoppers. I'm currently working through 6 weeks worth of £4 off a £20 shop. Once they're gone I'll shop somewhere cheaper until the next batch are sent.

    I'm an infrequent Sainsbury's shopper, and occasionally get a few in the lead up to Christmas. Don't remember getting them any other time.

    Yes, me and OH occasionally get them although not on a regular basis. As in your illustration, they come in batches of six, one to be used in each consecutive week for six weeks, with a nectar point bonus if you use all six - the most recent sets alternated between money off one week and 6p a litre of petrol the next, with a minumum spend required each time.

    We've found that the more you use them, the less enticing the discount / the higher the amount they seem to want you to spend in any subsequent set until they stop altogether for a while. As we're not big spenders (we only tend to do a supermarket shop once a month or so and would struggle to get up to £70 or £80 even then ) we only tend to use those that require you to spend a lower amount.
