Sainsbury’s Credit Card or BA Amex card?

ReadingWillers

Now that Nectar are joining forces with Avios, is it best to use my Sainsbury’s credit card or my BA American Express when shopping in Sainsbury’s, for optimum points. I will be converting Nectar points to Avios. I normally use the Sainsbury’s card as I get extra nectar points for that. Thank you

The Sainsbury's card is better for Sainsbury's, Argos and Tu Clothing spend as it 3 nectar point per £1. That works out to 1.6 Avios per £1, whereas the AmEx Blue Ba is only 1 Avios per £1.

Sainsburys is really 2 nectar points per £1 for comparison, as the 3 includes the 1 'normal' nectar point you could get by using your nectar card alongside the Amex.

Yes that correct, forgot to include  "when using your nectar card".

Sainsburys website says its 3 which is 2 from using the sainsburys credit card and 1 for the nectar card itself which is 1.7 avios
AmEx gives you 1 Avios and you obviously use your nectar card too and so would be a total of 1.6 avios

I would consider moving to the Nectar Amex if I were you.
