What is a Sainsbury's Reward Card?

Some time ago, J Sainsbury's owned its own branded loyalty programme and had a Sainsbury's Reward Card.  Holders of this card could only earn and spend points at Sainsbury's shops. But since 2002, there has been a major change in the company. The UK's largest cross-brand loyalty scheme, the Nectar rewards scheme, was launched in 2002.

What is a Nectar Card?

The Nectar Loyalty Programme is a multi-partner loyalty programme. It is a transnational zone of loyalty for Sainsbury's, Argos, British Airways, Esso, eBay and the Daily Mail Group, alongside many more of different brands.

Sainsbury's is still the owner of the Nectar loyalty card scheme. So the answer to the question "Does Sainsbury's have a loyalty card?" - Yes, there is a loyalty card. With the Nectar card, customers can accumulate and spend points in hundreds of shops across Britain and online. The loyalty scheme includes supermarkets, clothing and homewares shops, banks and petrol stations.

We've detailed the Nectar loyalty scheme on this webpage Nectar Card Loyalty Program - benefits, rewards, spending

You can get your Nectar card online. Registering the card on the Nectar website is free of charge. Once registered, the card can be used to accumulate and redeem points.

The value of points earned varies and depends on the retailer and the purchase itself. For every £1 spent, you can earn 1 point.

When you spend your points at Sainsbury's they are worth 0.5p. You can increase their value by exchanging them for rewards from partner shops.

Sainsbury's loyalty scheme has proved very successful due to its cross-platform nature. A Nectar cardholder can earn points on almost all purchases at Sainsbury's, as well as other participating retailers. The total is a large number of rewards. A great benefit is that Points have no expiry date.
