Thank you all! SL, I get nectar points on my Sainsbo card, which has been great, but not as good as the opening offer was, of course. Sainsbo kicked me off their delivery system in the first lockdown, and I haven't forgotten that either, so I may well go for JL, and put my supermarket deliveries onto it, just having my visa card as an occasional backup.

Oooh, I feel your frustration re that phone call - I've had those sort of questions before, but despite not knowing the answers (I mean, who does?!), I've managed to get around it.
My Mum has a JL card and loves it for the rewards (but then she shops in Waitflower most of the time).Mortgage free 16/06/2023! £132,500 cleared in 11 years, 3 months and 7 days

It's actually the nearest supermarket to me, not that I'm going into any supermarket at all right now, but I will one day
I've been recovering a bit from all that fraught-dom, plus emailing, plus cutting back the leylandii hedge, which the neighbour had cut back so hard vertically, it started to grow horizontally And this is the first chance I've had to use the green bin, so that was good. Heavy drizzle now, and expecting *lots* of rain later, so no more outside today.
I think I'll be doing the first draft of the French-accounts-for-France this afternoon.

Don't forget though that Sainsbury didn't kick you off the list for delivery, they had to follow the vulnerable people lists supplied to them. Not their fault.

I would switch without hesitation or second thought. I take the approach that said company doesn't deserve our business, and off we trot without glancing back...other than to put offending company on the 'you are dead to me list' MFW: Was: £136,000.......Now: £47,736.58......3
