must admit I was very scathing of sainsbobs - its very expensive and its a small drive so shops have to be planned, we never accidentally go past it.

its main merits is that it has proper recycling facilities including plastic and cloth so that's where we take the recycling. Its also next to a large b and M which has a good plant section.

Mr T emporium is a dead duck in the water. I don't get any extra points or MOCs with statements, not for 9 months. I don't get till spits. I don't get extra points codes via email. The carpark is scrubbed clean so there are never any wombles.

Mostly I just get the odd thing for cashback and that's about it.

last quarter it looked like I was not going to even have the 150 points for a statement so I exchanged some of my TCB money - I was waiting to swap all of the £50 in one go closer to the anniversary date.

so Sainsburys it has to be for now

is there one on Lime street station or is it on Central- wish I'd realised that. whenever I pass a Sainsburys local off my normal patch I go and buy something - a single banana is a good item.

Odd times a few days later you get an email survey asking you about your experiences in that sainsburys local and with it 50 points :j.

we were in Edinburgh last weekend and I took my Sainsburys wallet with me as I'd seen a Sainsburys local on the map. Sadly no email survey yet. On the plus side I did find some wombles with £1.30 of cashback items and a few points to go on.
and to answer my own question, yes you can have points added on by the supervisor at the locals - obviously it was a receipt from my home store.[/QUOTE

Could be Central actually it's on the left when you go inside just before you put your tickets in those gates. I did a survey this morning and will get 250 points for that. Took about 20 mins but not too bad.

It's only recently I've looked more at these nectar points as I don't go to Sainsbury s much. But there are some good offers on ATM . I only got 9 vouchers for cafe Nero :eek: such a good deal since the ones from 02 have finished for now.
