Sainsbury's Double Up Nectar vouchers

Tula100

I spend ages reconfirming my online Nectar account in order to apply for my double up Nectar vouchers available from today, and then applying and confirming with the code sent to my mobile, only to be informed right at the end that the vouchers could not be issued.  Online chat failed to provide any help - just start all over again on a different browser they said!

Read the T's & C's carefully. Apart from the limitations of category you have to declare the category when converting points to vouchers then they can only be used on items in that category. Only worth doing if you have something specific in mind. When I read the T's & C's I decided not to bother.

That used to be the case, but I believe they changed it last year. Now you just get a voucher which can be used to buy anything within the eleven different categories.

I bought clothing, a CD, TTD wine and pillowcases with my double up voucher on the app last year. So no different categories.

Though TTD wine isn’t available in Scotland for double up

I'm sure there has to be a better way of doing this. Last year I bought TTD wine with it (mainly fizz) . My concern is that what you want won't be in stock. The best way was to do the voucher in store on my phone after I'd checked that they had what I wanted. That won't work for everyone though and I'm not sure if I can remember how to do it myself! 🤣

Just musing - with "non-essential" shopping restrictions, have Sainys given any clue with how this offer might be affected? If things like clothes, homeware, etc. are restricted in England (as has happened elsewhere albeit under dubious rules) it would make these vouchers quite useless... think I might end up sitting this one out...

I'd be surprised if England stop people buying anything that's normally for sale in a supermarket as they could before. The rules in Wales were to try and make it fairer for other shops selling similar items that had to close. But the Welsh fire break is only 2 weeks and with schools closed. In England it's watered down and longer, at least a month and longer if Covid numbers are still high.
My biggest issue with the vouchers is that if you get them early and then find items out of stock. That could easily happen if supply chains are affected. I wish they'd let you use them for anything including food.

Just request the vouchers via the Nectar App.

That's my plan. I'm going to go into my local store, check the stock and then request vouchers on the app on my phone. 

That's OK for me. I have a large store a mile away. I'm fit and healthy, tech savvy  and have transport to bring my purchases home.
