Sam Burston, director of Nectar & loyalty at Sainsbury’s, said: “As our customers look for more ways to save money, we want to be able to provide great value and exciting offers for them. We want to help them to get the most out of their shopping, which is why we’ve launched The Big Points Bonanza, a nine-day bonus points event where every customer can be a winner. We love giving shoppers the feeling of little wins and this points giveaway is the perfect way to surprise and delight our Nectar customers this January.”

Nectar helps customers make their money go further by offering discounted prices and points offers when customers shop at Sainsbury’s. Nectar customers can also collect and spend points at a variety of the UK’s leading brands including Argos, British Airways and eBay.

Last year in December alone, Nectar customers saved £3.8 million at Sainsbury’s using personalised discounts from My Nectar Prices, as well as saving £60 million by redeeming Nectar points to take money off their bill at a range of partners.

On average, shoppers can save up to £3.90 every week by making the most of My Nectar Prices, whilst customers could also collect 600 bonus points through the Sainsbury’s weekly points offers – both promotions are available exclusively on the Nectar app.
