Where did you get these numbers?

from https://livewellforless.sainsburys.co.uk/swipe-and-win-terms-and-conditions/ I see:

Available prizes are: 48,385 prizes of 5000 Nectar points, 96,771 prizes of 2000 Nectar points, 145,156 prizes of 1000 Nectar points, 290,312 prizes of 500 Nectar points.

So in the October prizes totalled 3.6bn points, in the quoted Feb numbers was 1.1bn and in the numbers currently on website it is 700 million.

If you wonder what the relevance of this is to you: it seems like, on average, prizes will be about 20% of what was won in October.

i cant understand with technology today why they say some garages which are detatched from the store cannot be linked up to the system. Telford had a brand new garage and its still not been attatched to the system. Surely only just a internet connection is needed

FYI Sainsbury's are dropping the whole nectar points thing in a few months and renewing the whole points system + renaming

bemad to IronSoldier

16 Jan 17 #21

I always liked the old style "Reward" card from around 1996 - a system like Tesco Clubcard without all of the distractions of Nectar.

If they could relaunch that and then offer boosts as good as Tesco, they could really shake things up.

I'm wondering how to find out which store in Solihull is excluded from the promo. As I'm sure Shirley, Stratford Road, Solihull was included last time but if they are talking about the Sainsburys in Solihull town centre it has no petrol station so it obviously wouldn't be included

simone10

24 Jan 17 #30

I just went on on-line chat. The store has to have a CATALINA PRINTER to be included in the promo. I have to phone myself to find out. "Simone, to get you more information about this, you can contact the specialist team on this number 0800 63 62 62, they'll have all the details about the store".

gummby

30 Jan 17 #31

Looks like the prizes this time round are down. The chances of winning 2000 points is reduced by nearly 80%. I grabbed 9000+ points last time on a £80 or so spend. Won't get as many 2000 point wins this time.

Make sure your till has a voucher producing machine!! Self service tills are normally fine. Just not in local stores.

gummby

31 Jan 17 #33

The promotion only lasts 3 days. If you have a large tank 8-9 fills at £10 is not hard. Of course the value is if you stick to £10 spends. Sainsbury is not the cheapest place to buy all goods. Some things are much much cheaper elsewhere. Especially branded goods not on promotion.

Warrants

1 Feb 17 #34

Excellent, got £40 in points last time through a few £10 shops and 3 fill ups at the petrol station. Held on to the points and doubled up to get £80 in November.

gummby

1 Feb 17 #35

Not so great. Just noticed they sneaked a lot of price rises in here. Their 8 pack of Penguins at £1.80 vs 24 pack for £1.69 in Homebargains. 3 for the price of 1. Lot of other items I was planning to get have also fallen off their current offers. Lots of price rises since new year.

They are doing 36 pack of Jaffa cakes for £1.32. Some of the own brand stuff is reasonably priced. Albeit maybe not compared to Lidl etc. I will give it a few goes and see how I do. Won't be spending on branded items 40-60% cheaper elsewhere.

Just be careful with what you buy as Sainsburys can be quite expensive. Especially branded goods not on promotions.

can i used coupons in my transaction?

davidian84

2 Feb 17 1 #38

think you mean 3.6m, 1.1m and 700k

The 1,1m is in the original post, would seem theyve decided to nearly half the value of the offer since announcing.

martin16

2 Feb 17 #39

I think my numbers are correct (US billions of points). Weird that they cut the prizes after publishing the terms.

2 Feb 17 1 #40

Not sure if it's been mentioned already, but don't forget to visit Nectar.com & Mycoupons.sainsburys.co.uk to load additional bonus point coupons to your card.

I've just checked mine & I've got bonus points on my next 4 swipes on fuel or grocery shops on the Nectar website & on the MyCoupons, loads of bonus points for things I'd probably buy anyway (if they're on offer!) plus a double points on a £10 spend.

knack

2 Feb 17 #41

Thanks for pointing out the points difference compared to last time. I'd made a comprehensive list but will need to make sure I'm not buying things I don't need since lower chance of good return.

Also I've been keeping an eye on the price at my local petrol station and it is now relatively more expensive. It used to be as cheap as any in Edinburgh but is at the moment 3p more expensive for diesel than other Sainsbury's...

I got £50 worth of shopping this morning split into 5 loads, 4 lots of 200 points and 1 2000 points. I didn't get a single 200 points last time so clearly they have reduced the prizes, but I still got £14 worth of points on can't be too unhappy

Duplada

3 Feb 17 1 #46

Just put £10 of fuel in and received 200 points, so it would seem that in addition to the reduced amount of prizes, if you don't win one of those, you receive 200 points. So work on a minimum of 10% discount rather than the 25% discount you received in October with 500 points minimum.

amz84uk

3 Feb 17 #47

I filled up fuel this morning and received 200 points. The customer next to me at the other till and another one before me also received 200 points each. It definitely isn't as rewarding as last years promotion, but nonetheless can't knock a 10% discount (based on min 200 points (£1) on a £10 spend).

Hot from me!

weew2016

3 Feb 17 1 #48

Got 2000 point on the third full up fuel. The first two was 200 but the stuff told that it's the first 2000 point printed so far till now

Only 4 lots of 200 and saw other people only getting 200, bit disappointing!

bemad

3 Feb 17 #50

Like with Homebase, any points already gained with Nectar will remain but Sainsburys will set a deadline for (1) earning points and (2) spending them at Sainsburys.

Hopefully they will do an Easter double up so we can spend what we have.

Otherwise accumulating lots of points this weekend (which isn't looking likely anyway) won't be that worthwhile.

200 points on £10 fuel, then 4 x 200 point coupons plus a 1000 on shopping in-store. More fuel on way out got me a 2000 coupon. Not bad, they're still worth £20! Will try again at the weekend.
Thanks for the heads-up, OP! :smiley:

3 Feb 17 #69

I haven't got a clue. Was just something I was made aware of from some at head office. Nectar company seemed to be doing really badly, hence a lot of deals at the moment but long term looking to replace it. What happens ultimetly is anyone's guess.

Well got 4 coupons from fuel and 2 from the shop and all 200 point coupons.. ah well guess I'm unlucky this time

gummby

3 Feb 17 #71

Did it 4 times and got 200 points each time. This promotion has been seriously nerfed. Not sure I will do this again. Not worth the petrol to only get 200 points. You really need to be careful as only £1 in points could easily be saved by shopping elsewhere. Maybe I was unlucky. Last time minimum points was 500 per £10 spend for me.

I did £60 in £10s on fuel and got 5 x 200 & 1 x 2000 points and £40 in £10s in store and got 4 x 200 points. Well down on last time. But will need more fuel & food shopping on Sunday so hopefully will win some of the bigger points that have not been issued. :wink:

Definitely not worth a special trip. I got 6x200 and 2x500 ... Didn't feel the urge to do any more shopping - most people seemed to be getting 200 ... last time it felt like I'd won the lottery - LOL

3 Feb 17 1 #87

did anyone else notice their sainsburys petrol station sticking the price up over the past week? Near me Sainsburys is usually at worst equal with tesco about a mile away and usually 1p cheaper - since last week its been 2p a litre dearer than tesco and even Shell making me wonder if they stuck the cost up knowing this was coming along

Sainsburys 119.9 and 121.9 Tesco 117.9 and 119.9 Shell 118.9 and 120.9

3 Feb 17 #88

they learnt their lesson couple of 200 on food and 200 on the fuel. should get a few extra points from the app too.

snowee

3 Feb 17 #89

Agree - it's definitely not based on how much you spend - woman in front of me spent £97 in one go and got 200 points. Chance of getting 5000 points is VERY RARE ... this time just expect only 200, then you won't be disappointed

gummby

3 Feb 17 #90

Yep I doubt I will match my 9000 points from last time. I could do another £10 spend but I certainly won't spend for the sake of it.Maybe I should of tried different tills. 10% is okay but not huge. I avoided a lot of the branded stuff. The one thing on offer I wanted was out of stock.

Interestingly my local Sainsbury on fuel is charging exactly the same as a BP that normally charged 3p more a litre than Sainsburys. Could just be rising oil prices. I don't think my local store has tills that dish out vouchers.

Got 2 x 500 today. I think that half the issue is that they screwed up last time and made the number of prizes too high. Still I'll be back tomorrow hoping for something better!

same here, looked at my 11 vouchers and had to call manager. I just went to another store and the lady just logged the points in.

bemad

3 Feb 17 #104

First transaction 200 points. Went round again and got another 200 points. The person in front of me each time got 200 points - and both of them were spending far more than £10 so it isn't spend related.

200 points is certainly the "default" amount this time around, whereas last November it was spewing out 1000 and 2000 all the time, with 500 points being a rare low amount.

I think they've got the promotion correctly costed this time (for them) which means it isn't as good (for us)!

Couldn't be bothered going around a third time but will no doubt be in on Saturday/Sunday just to see if I can stock up on anything.

3 Feb 17 #105

Ive done 8x £10 visits for petrol today and got 7x 200 points and a 500 points. Bit poor really.
When it was on 12 months ago i ended up with £80 in points.

jnigel26

3 Feb 17 #106

HOT!!!! Went into Sainsbury's this morning early and wondered why I got 200 points bonus? I'd only gone in because I had a 'spend £10 voucher and get 300 points'. A double double bonus, and what I bought was half price. :innocent:
When I got to the car I went on HotDeals and then saw this, I'd missed it earlier.
We will be doing the regular shop tomorrow now and split it all up into tenner lots. It's worth it. Fingers x for the 5000 points. I told a friend this evening who will be going with us tomorrow... 'oh can't be bothered to do that, you won't win 5000 anyway' - bloody well hoping we do now so I can gloat!!! :smile:
I love Nectar. Best card out there. By a mile!

Some customers are also being given a voucher for £1.50 off a £10 shop in store.

Use this on a second £10 basket of shopping and you get it for £8.50 AND still get the Swipe & Win Nectar voucher too. Verified this in store earlier today.

Do you have to go around again each time to spend £10 or will the cashier let you pay after every £10 through the till?

Your milage may vary, a checkout cashier shouldnt really refuse the trade. (I often see people splitting shops for relatives with a different set of money for each for example) although a lot will depend on whether or not you get embarrassed by this stuff. My mood dictates whether I do or not. Last night I did 3 x £10 shops through self scan

I used the self checkouts. Just make sure the till has a voucher machine.

Ironically I too noticed petrol price hike. Normally my local BP is 3p more than Sainsbury. Last few days it has been the same at 1.239 for Diesel. The Shell I normally use was £1.229. Cheaper than the supermarket. I expect Sainsburys prices to drop on Monday. Make no mistake they have planned a lot of price rises for this weekend.Hence timing of deal.

When you split your shops do you give back the voucher you just got on the next shop or just accumulate a pile of vouchers and use them when the promotion finishes?

Just wondering as I did three shops today and used a voucher on each of them and only got 200 points each time. Last night I did two shops without using a voucher and got a 200 and a 500. Just trying to suss out if they are only throwing out a 200 if you use a voucher on your shop.

Makes no difference if you use a voucher on your shop as far as I am aware. Some self service tills won't accept high value vouchers.

Did one final shop today as the product on offer was in stock in another store. I am stocked up on chips now for many weeks. The mcvite chocolate digestive 200gr packs are still 50p. Assuming your local Tesco is not doing the 500gr pack for 67p. Got a 500 point voucher on shop today. I used a different store. Noticed a few other items that had gone up in price today too. Cling film some other biscuits toos. Lot of price rises in store.

So 200x4 and 500x1 so far. Not tried fuel yet but don't think my local store has a voucher machine at the garage. Plus the fuel is cheaper elsewhere.

Between me, my partner and sister just did about 6 swipes all at 200. I'm going to fill my car up on Sunday night hopefully with a bit more luck and that their machines will be a bit more generous as the promotion comes to an end. Nowhere near what it was last time I was getting 6 quids qorth of points on average for a ten quid spend! Fuel also expensive here aswell now!

4 Feb 17 #114

I spent £60 and got 1x1000 & 5x200 - lady at the till was happy to split the shopping into £10 chunks. Chap behind me was a bit confused - explained to him and he did exactly the same thing!

4 Feb 17 #115

Just been in, bought £21 of shopping, split into 2 payments using self service - btw ENSURE THE VOUCHER PRINTER HAS THE GREEN LIGHT ON BEFORE USING.

On the way out, filled up with fuel. Received 2000, 200 and 200. So just short of £12 of points.

Intend on going back later, £10 fill up on the way in, spend £10 and then a £10 fill up on the way out. Depending on my fuel gauge, may even squeeze another £10 fill tomorrow.

Btw, does anyone know, "Qualifying spend excludes spirits and liqueurs"

Does this include crates of beer? I need some beer so that could be one transaction alone.

Bought some beer yesterday and got some vouchers so you'll be fine

That's strange because my Sainsbury's garage is on the excluded list for Swipe & Win, but they definitely have those voucher printers - they occasionally give me vouchers for various things like bonus points on a threshold spend, which appear to be targeted to me so it would suggest the printers are hooked up to the Nectar system.

Whatever the reason, it's very frustrating for customers whose nearest garage is on the excluded list and I'm amazed Sainsbury's haven't ironed out this issue by now.

i was told its because they detatched from the store.
I cant understand how its not just a case of hgaving a internet connection to join it all up.
i asked as telfords garage was flattened and rebuilt and i was sure they would have atdded the software to the new garage but no

been 3 times and keep getting 200 too. definately changed since last time where 500 with a rare minimum amount

gummby

4 Feb 17 #120

Had to pop back as I forgot to defrost my meat. Churned out 500 points. I do have close to 50 toilet rolls now. Not sure what visitors might think! :laughing: So my last 2 have been 500.

My petrol plans are dead in the water. Both my garages near me are listed as not included on the T and C. Hmmmm.

What did you go for? The 9 quilted sains own for 3.50?

I'm on 8 x visits now and all 200 points

beatrixkiddo79

4 Feb 17 1 #122

I did 3 shops yesterday. 2 x £10 petrol & 1 x grocery shop. Got 200 for each transaction so I felt a little disappointed compared to last time.

Chanced it again for another £10 of petrol today @ got a 2000 voucher so that made up for it slightly! Might try a bit more petrol tomorrow if I'm passing.

As a side note, how ridiculously expensive is it!? It's been a few months since I've been in but the stuff that's usually £1 have all crept up! Think I'll stick to Asda in future!

WooHoo
Just filled up:

£70 diesel and got £32.50 in Nectar points :man:

Spirits and liquors are definitely excluded from promotion as you dont even get nectar points on them so are always excluded from all voucher/spend deals

gummby

4 Feb 17 1 #125

I went with 18 pack for £6. Seems reasonable and 240 sheets per roll. It's supposedly on offer. 65p off. Chances are price will increase soon so might as well stock up. Should be enough for next year or 2.

I may go back tomorrow for the keyboard on offer for 6-7 quid. This one has got a lot of dirt and grime. Seems a good price as online cheapest is £2-3 more. Need to find some items I don't have 3-4+ of to make up the £10. I won't need to buy much in Sainsburys for a few weeks now. There are 1-2 more items I could stock up on that have long shelf lifes that are not branded.

Well that was pants. 6 shops 5 x 200 and a 500.

Don't think we'll pop in tomorrow.

4 Feb 17 #127

In terms of pricing I wanted some cleaning wipes. You can get about 80 for 80p in Asda, £1 for 40 in Sains so I didn't bother. The packet was half the size so it wasn't bigger cloths.

i split my shopping into 9 transactions(clothes included)got 8x200pts and 1 500pts,last time they did this promo i mostly got 1&2000 vouchers,very disapointed,but i did get £10 of fuel and got 1000pts,cashier added points and gave me coupon back,can coupon be used more than once?

Tilda rice is on offer for a pound so OH got some of that yesterday,but the same as others,he did 3 shops and all were 200 points.

5 Feb 17 #134

Did 11 shops, 10 x 200 points and 1 x 500 points.
Compared to last time,really poor.

gummby

5 Feb 17 #135

Did one more trip today. Got one more 200 point voucher.

Could do one more shop today on a keyboard. (They were out of stock in the larger store.) Smaller store has them. Although I do like my current one as it has a rest for the palm of my hands. Might leave it. Gutted I got no voucher above 500 so far.

I have no room left in my freezer. Cupboards are over flowing too. Need a bigger litchen.

Won't be bothering then.

Another 2 shops done and still 200 on each :neutral_face:

Yes if you still have the coupon it will scan again and add another 1000.

Went in yesterday and got 4 x 200, was getting the hump and then I got a 5000 and it all seemed worthwhile! My first 5000 from any of the times they have done it. Going to pop in today for one last try.

5 Feb 17 1 #142

Well after my 5000 for fuel and just 200 for grocery on Friday I went again today and got 5000 for grocery and 200 for fuel. 4 shops £59 spent and £52 in vouchers...a result I think. Missed this last time they did it so I'm more than satisfied.

Last time they did this got £50 with 7 fuel purchases.

Having real issues redeeming my vouchers at Customer Service! I tried again today and was told they can only be redeemed on a next instore shop and only a total of 1000 points on each transaction... I went to the self service and scanned through my shop, lo and behold the till will only accept one voucher. Was then told it's only one voucher per transaction. Sounds like the staff don't really know the deal here... either way, I had a handful of 200 points vouchers so I put them all through in about 10 different single item transactions :confused:

carltonbp

5 Feb 17 #145

That's rubbish I cashed in 4 x 200 and a 5000 in one go at the CS desk in Harrogate the day after I got them. You can only cash in one at the tills though and only 1 and that's got to be no more than a 1,000 at the self checkout. I think some stores make it up.

missy89

5 Feb 17 #146

They completely make up their own rules. I won't bother next time, I know that's the idea! They thoroughly spoiled us last time :disappointed:

bemad

5 Feb 17 #147

Well 6 shops today (Sunday) and only 200 each time.

Guess it wasn't meant to be.

stevesimc

5 Feb 17 #148

6x £10 fuel stops and just over £81 in groceries broken into £10 transactions yielded 6500 points... not a patch on the 16000+ I got in November for similar spends

5 Feb 17 #149

OH bought another video game while he was there too,his excuse,it was cheap,so it cost us more than we gained this time :laughing:

bemad

5 Feb 17 #150

Trying to be positive and even at 200 points a time, it's worth £2 in a double up event. I think we were so spoiled last time that normality this time (200 pointers) seemed a big let down.

I also had a few point bonuses on the Nectar website but I simply don't trust Nectar to deliver these (it's been very hit and miss in the past). Even when you load these bonuses to your card there isn't a way of checking the points after you have bought the correct product. Waiting 28 days is a pain.

With today's instant technology, that really is bit of a pain.

mattr

5 Feb 17 #151

I agree awful this time. I don't trust them either anymore as they've took points from the account on multiple occasions.

EvilA

5 Feb 17 #152

Me too and got 8100! Best I've had so far. Was at £9.08 of petrol so added a packet of Kit-Kats for £1.00 and hit the big one.

6 Feb 17 #155

2 x 200, 1 x 500. Not much instore worth of value but I did get diesel which is the same price as Tesco across the road and I had a long journey to make on Saturday. Better than nothing I suppose.

pobrobinson

7 Feb 17 #156

Ended the weekend with 18x 200 points and 2x 2000 points, nowhere near what I got last time but still better than nothing I guess

winko89

7 Feb 17 #157

Anyone finding that redeeming these points is a pain.. just went into sainsburys and apparently they can only do 4 at once, and the lady on customer services said I had to come back another day! Ridiculous, I just want to redeem them all thanks, surely that's not hard!

kudos1uk

7 Feb 17 #158

She was very kind, the T&C's on the back of the voucher clearly (clearly is not true, its the smallest print ever known!) say one voucher per transaction.
Take them to self scan and buy your shopping one item at a time using one voucher for each item bought.

winko89

8 Feb 17 #159

What I couldn't work out was, why couldn't she just do that on the Customer service computer? And she was actually very rude, put me off buying in the place
