Free treats with Sainsbury Nectar card treat me

bargain_babe

on their website it says to hold out before applying for your 'treat!' as they will have more variation before the offer ends in Feb. I am going to wait a little longer before applying - can't do any worse can i?

I applied for mine way back at the beginning of October. Did it take awhile for you guys to get your (mostly crummy) treats?

This is indeed a shocking rip off. I suggest that we all stop shopping in Sainsbury's and switch supermarkets - they will soon realise the error of their ways and that they cannot treat their customers this way.

In addition, write to the man at the top: Justin King, CEO of Sainbury's. You can get your message to him personally at:

[EMAIL="justin.king@sainsburys.co.uk"]justin.king@sainsburys.co.uk[/EMAIL]

I have told him what I thought of this promotion and he has the power to fix the problem.

Yes, I;'ve just received my treat too! (It actually took only 2 hours to come through). I requested a pedicure or a facial - and yes, I received a voucher for a fitness centre! If you go online to any fitness centre in this area you can download a free visit voucher - so where is the treat in that? I guessed, before reading this forum, that anyone requesting an adventure 'treat' would receive a voucher for a day out - no surprise there, then. I think that Sainsbury's, being so closely linked with Nectar, should be very worried about this scam. Do they really think the British public are that gullible - that we don't talk to each other - that they won't be found out? Wrong - thank goodness for forums like this!

One strongly worded email to Justin King and my wife received a telephone call from Nectar offering the originally requested voucher (or at least her second choice) immediately. They know that they've done wrong, but it needs more people to remind them!

Try it yourselves to get the vouchers that they originally promised.

hi i have posted this on other threads of this. That nectar will try and help - i rang them when i didnt get what i wanted - i was told to ring back on a sat as they get another allocation. i did just that and received my first choice - so don't stress out too much!!

I got the "oops" message too when I just tried to apply, could that be because I only joined nectar yesterday?

I don't quite know what to say. I took the advice and waited for a Saturday to apply. I applied this morning for a free back massage and the voucher has just arrived - for a free back massage in a spa not far from me. I am speechless and quite happy!

I got a voucher to go kitesurfing. This has to be booked by the end of February. I've now phoned the number given on the voucher twice where I just get an answerphone. I've left messages twice, and e-mailed the company concerned as suggested on the answerphone, but have heard nothing in response after several days. Has anyone actually had any luck in booking their "treat"?

Edit: Just tried the phone number again. I was forwarded to someone's mobile number and was told that their mail box was full, goodbye. Are Nectar just wasting everyone's time?
