    First Anniversary Combo Breaker
    Just came on to see if there was a thread about this. I've not had an email from them but noticed the announcement on the site. Bit of a shame - I've done really well out of it and definitely spent at Sainsburys more as a result. I had no idea it was a "trial".

    Its possibly the beginning of moving to SmartOffers which is currently being trialled in some Sussex stores.

    Just got an email that the "trial" of My Coupons is ending on the 6th May and existing offers can be redeemed until then. They are giving 500 bonus points as a thank you for using it.

    Its disappointing, but I don't think enough was done to promote it, if there was an app (similar to Waitrose PYO) I would have checked much more often and the extra points encouraged me to try different things. I only ever read about the service on here though.

    Oh, dear, that sometimes made the trip worthwhile. Though not as it used to be. I remember when I had conditional spend vouchers for £6.00 off for a £40.00 spend, then mycoupon would give 1200 points for a £40.00 spend!!

    Pity - i found this really good for those extra points.

    How does SmartOffers work & how does one sign up?

    "Trial" was news to me too. If you shop at stores regularly, you get coupons at the checkout, but if you don't you miss out. This was a way to get those offers by shopping online as we do more of now due to mobility situation. Sainsbury's has made Nectar less attractive in recent times, first by halving the number of points per pound. And now this.

    Edit: Email arrived this morning. As a thank you for using My Coupons they'll be adding 500 Bonus points.
