    Good morning everyone.

    I didn't do very well at Sainsbury's either. I think that they have moved the goalposts too far. Can they possibly give out all the prizes on the ratios they seem to be using now?

    Anyway, I had thought that at least I would fulfill the required number of swipes to qualify for the bonus on my nectar. However I have just read the Terms and Conditions and it states "offer available on one transaction per store per day". Just thought that I would make it known to anyone unaware of this.
    Terms:
    Collect bonus points on each of your next 6 swipes at Sainsbury's. Valid in-store, online or on fuel.

    How to get this offer

    Click 'Load to card' and swipe each time you shop
    Collect double points on each of your next 5 shops and 100 bonus points when you make your 6th shop until 01/03/2017
    Points will be awarded within 28 days
    Terms and Conditions
    To qualify for offer, click 'Load to card'. With this offer customers receive double points on each of their next 5 swipes and 100 bonus points on their 6th swipe. Offer available on one transaction per store per day. Valid on swipes worth 1 base point or more at Sainsbury's in-store, online, and at Sainsbury's Petrol sites until 01/03/2017. Nectar card must be used. Bonus points will be credited to primary Nectar cardholder's account within 28 days of the validity end date. Base points are 1 point per litre of fuel purchased at Sainsbury's petrol stations & 1 Nectar point for every full £1 you spend with us on selected products. Spend does not apply to cashback, purchases from the kiosk or Sainsbury's Cafe, vending machines, concessions, or purchases of spirits & liqueurs, baby milk products, gift cards, charity items, medicines, savings stamps, phone cards or mobile phone vouchers. Multiplier Nectar points apply to base points only.

    I had to contact Nectar yesterday regarding points not added for my train journeys. 1000 were added but they refused on the second train booking ( second offer ) as they said that the terms stated the journey must be taken after the 16th January. The offer ended on the 4th January and I booked the 3rd. Will now be reading t&c's each time as I hate being 'taken for a ride' by anyone.

    Good luck to everyone going to Sainsburys today.

    Good morning Elite :hello:

    Sunny start to the day here so might just go for a drive out later if the weather holds out :)

    Hugs to the poorlies and those feeling low xx

    Off for a catch-up and coffee before I get dressed, see you all later when you get home from your scratch and sniff travels :D x
    There's no place like home :)

    Feeling down? Weak in body? Makes no difference to me, I think of you all when I'm sitting quietly.

    Hugs and healing thoughts are always going your way.

    Morning all

    Dedicated lurker and occasional poster popping in!

    My baby wipe stash is empty (hangs head in shame). Aside from the baby events in T and A, is there anywhere super cheap at the moment?

    DS's first pair of non-orthopaedic shoes cost £51 yesterday!!

    mrsmac10 was getting 12 packs of johnsons wipes for £7 at S to help get to the £10 threshold for swipe/win

    Morning All! :)

    Second shop at Sainsbobs to buy Jacobs Creek - Catalina machine whirring away but no voucher! SA opened it, must have been like that for ages as all scrunched up and inky. Had to go to CS and have it all put through as a refund, then bought it all again! Produced 200 points.

    On way to lift wombled a 1000 pointer - PLEASE tell me its not card specific :think:

    Thanks for posting

    Sainsburys have made it much easier to give out all the prizes by reducing all the 500/1000/2000/5000 rewards


    That's a sneaky (but understandable) update on the nectar app. I wonder if stores and attached petrol stations count as different locations. I don't like how it doesn't have a progress checker any more

    I am going back for more today as I felt the JC wine was more important yesterday (COS offer)

    Another store will get my custom today as I need one with a nearby boots No mags left in my local :(

    Offer came in handy when one of the GC asked for specifics of toiletries for their beaver/scout group food bank appeal

    Enjoy your day
