Your Nectar Prices give you personalised discounts every week based on your shopping habits but they are currently only available through SmartShop, the Sainsbury’s grocery app, and online
Sainsbury’s is making a major change to its Nectar loyalty scheme and it will save shoppers money.
Supermarket shoppers will be able to access Your Nectar Prices at checkouts nationwide from July 25. Your Nectar Prices give you up to ten personalised discounts every week based on your shopping habits.
You can currently only access these through SmartShop, the Sainsbury’s grocery app, and online. Sainsbury’s claims these offers, which are refreshed every Friday, save the average shopper £150.
Mark Given, chief marketing, data and sustainability officer at Sainsbury’s, said: “We’re leading the way by making loyalty personal. Shoppers want to feel recognised and rewarded and while Nectar Prices are for everyone, we know our customers love an offer that is made just for them.
“That’s exactly what Your Nectar Prices delivers – it’s about giving customers those extra savings on the products they love and buy most.”
You get one Nectar point for every £1 you spend in stores, with one Nectar point worth 0.5p in return. This means if you earn one point from a purchase it’s the equivalent of 0.5% cashback.
You also get Nectar points when you fill up in a Sainsbury’s fuel station, or at other brands like eBay, Expedia and Just Eat.
It comes after Sainsbury’s confirmed it has closed all its in-store changing rooms – meaning shoppers need to try on items from its TU clothing range at home.
One shopper said: “Please put back changing rooms! At least one! I went into a Sainsbury’s the other day & me & another lady were doin [sic] our best in front of a mirror on the shop floor. Couldn’t try trousers on so didn’t bother buying them.”
Another said: “Why on earth do you have a clothing department but no changing rooms? A staff member has just told me they have been removed from all stores?”
A third person added: “What is the point selling clothes if you shut the changing rooms. First Kingsgate and now Hamilton. What a waste of my time.” Another posted: “Why have you got rid of changing rooms? I don’t want to have to buy 6 pairs of jeans to have to return 5.”
Sainsbury’s closed its remaining 61 in-store cafes in April. The supermarket had previously warned that tax increases from the October Budget would hit it with an extra £140million in costs and lead to higher prices for customers.
