Customers who wish to use their plastic Nectar card can still access their Nectar Prices via www.nectar.com.

We try our best to ensure that customers are only presented with Your Nectar Prices on products available in stores they have recently shopped in. Some products may be unavailable at certain times, and we apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.

Yes, this is available across the United Kingdom.

Products are subject to exclusions throughout the year. Your Nectar Prices are not available at groceries online, concessions or tobacco kiosks, petrol stations, Argos, Habitat or Tu clothing.

So long as the Nectar Prices remain valid, customers can return the item and re-purchase the replacement in-store.

The validity period of each Nectar Price may vary depending on the product.

Where more than one Nectar card is linked to a Nectar account, Your Nectar Prices will be personalised to the shopping activities of the primary Nectar account holder.

Customers can choose to use either the SmartShop app or the handset.

No, Your Nectar Prices are only available at Sainsbury’s.

Unfortunately, this means that the service is currently down. We are working hard to get this back up and running and we’re sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.

If Your Nectar Prices is unavailable, continue to shop as usual. We will identify where you have missed out on a discount and issue you a cash refund voucher via the Nectar app for use on a future purchase in-store. To redeem this voucher, simply swipe the voucher at the till when you next checkout in-store.

My ID is a service that makes accessing and managing your account easier.
No more need to look for your Nectar card number. With My ID you’ll log in to Nectar just with your email address and password.
There’s no change in how you collect points and no need to get a new Nectar card either.

Doing your Sainsbury’s shopping online?
With My ID you can log in to Sainsbury’s using the same email address and password you use for Nectar. This is just the first step in making it easier to manage multiple accounts.

We want to make accessing and managing your account as easy as possible.

Quick and easy login  
We’re introducing a simple email login so you don’t have to look for your Nectar card number anymore. You can also use your Nectar login details to quickly register for Sainsbury’s online if you don’t already have an account.  

Security you can trust
You can be sure your information will always be safe with our industry-leading technology.  

The first step in making things fuss free

• • In future, when you update your personal details in Nectar they will also update in your Sainsbury’s account (if you have one)
• • Soon you’ll be able to use your Nectar login details to log in or register to Sainsbury’s SmartShop

Not at all. There are no changes in how you collect and redeem your points across our partners, and there’s no need to get a new Nectar card. 

To log in to Nectar, you need to use the email associated with your Nectar account. This is the same email address you get your Nectar offers to.

You will only need your email address and password to login. However please bear with us during the transition phase where you will need to use both email address and card number, along with your password. This is only temporary.

Yes. In line with data protection regulations, we’re committed to not misusing your personal data. Our Privacy and Data policy is strict - and we like it that way. 

No, we’re setting everything up for you. Unless you’d like to change the email address associated with your Nectar or Sainsbury’s accounts, there’s nothing you need to do.
Just remember to use the email associated with your Nectar account when prompted on the login page.

You may not get a prompt until late September as we’re phasing the rollout of My ID.
If you’re already logged in to the app or website, you won’t get prompted. Feel free to try logging out and see if you get prompted when you’re about to log in again.

You will continue to use separate login details for both accounts.

How do I benefit from the My ID shared log in?
You can update your email addresses to be the same on both accounts until 23 August. We’ll then set up your shared My ID log in so you’re able to manage your accounts more easily.

What exactly will be linked with My ID?
Only your login is shared with the My ID service. In the future your account details (such as name, address, email address) will also sync, but nothing else.
There are no changes in the way we share your Nectar partner transactions with Sainsbury’s, and your communication preferences will not sync between Nectar and Sainsbury’s.

I use the same email address on Sainsbury’s Groceries, but different Nectar card numbers. Will my points be synced?
No, Nectar cards will not be synced, only login details are shared. So the Nectar card linked to your Nectar app and website will remain separate from the one you use for Sainsbury’s Groceries.

I use the same email for both, but different passwords. Which will I use in future?
When we prompt you, you’ll be able to set the same new password for both.

If I change my password on one account will it also change on the other?
Yes, using My ID means that if you update your password on your Nectar account, it will automatically change on Sainsbury’s and vice versa.

Will only having one password be less secure?
No, our My ID service uses secure encryption.

I use the same email address for both but do not want to use the My ID shared login service (for example if you set up an account for a relative). Can I stop this?
If you’d rather not use My ID, simply update one of your accounts so that email addresses are different by 30 August. This way we won’t set up a shared login with our My ID service for you.

Why is the programme closing?

We regularly review our promotions to ensure customers are getting the best possible value and have recently decided to discontinue our Nectar Connect service. We apologise for any disappointment caused and welcome customer feedback. All the latest offers can be found via the Nectar app or website.

What will happen to my points?

Your points will remain in your balance, so you can either keep boosting your points balance, or start spending your points at our range of partners.

What will happen to my personal data?

We work with a specialist company called TrueLayer who is regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) to act as an Authorised Payment Institution (API) to provide Account Information Services (AIS). In other words, TrueLayer works on behalf of Nectar and acts as a messenger between us and your bank. All transactional data held by Nectar will be deleted on or before 27 October, whilst Truelayer will hold transactional data for 7 years (immediately deleting data that is over 7 years old). This data is held in pseudonymised form, with only the data subject reasonably able to re-identify the data through relinking and/or comparison with transaction records.

For more information visit: https://www.fca.org.uk/consumers/account-information-and-payment-initiation-services.

Do I need to notify my bank?

No, there is nothing for you to do. Once the partnership ends on 27 October, all links between Nectar and your bank account(s) will be severed.

Do I need to change anything with my bank?

No, there is nothing for you to do. Once the partnership ends on 27 October, all links between Nectar and your bank account(s) will be severed.

When can I earn points with Nectar Connect until?

You can continue to earn points with Nectar Connect until 23:59 on 27 October 2023. Any points you earn before this date will be added to your account within 60 days.

Where can I spend my points that I have collected?

There's a great overview of ways to redeem on our website. Or download the Nectar App to stay up to date when you're out and about. Choose your reward and then swipe your card, spend online or use your voucher as instructed. Enjoy!

Nectar Connect lets you collect Nectar points from a wide range of brands you love in 3 easy steps:

1. Connect the bank account(s) you use for your everyday spend to your Nectar account by approving a link with your bank using your bank login details. You can link both credit and debit card accounts.

2. Activate an offer.

3. Use your connected payment card to make a qualifying purchase.

This link with your bank gives us permission to view your payment transaction data to understand your spending habits, target relevant offers to you, and issue points against qualifying purchases. To find out more about what data we collect and how we use it visit: www.nectar.com/about/privacy-and-legal/nectar-connect

Your points are awarded automatically and this can take up to 25 calendar days, but usually less.

Signing up is easiest using your mobile, especially if you have your banking app installed so we can connect your accounts quickly, easily and securely.

Open Banking is a secure way for you to voluntarily give trusted brands or companies access to your financial information. Doing so could give you a more detailed understanding of all your payment card accounts in one place, allow you to take out loans or other financial products more easily, or help you find new ways to make the most of your money.

Only providers regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority can access your financial information, with your permission. You can find out more information here: https://www.openbanking.org.uk/customers/what-is-open-banking.

It’s easy to add a new bank account. Just click on the plus (+) sign next to your existing linked bank in your Nectar Connect dashboard, select a new bank, and follow the on-screen instructions.

It’s your choice! You can connect one, some or all of the payment cards which you use regularly. The more you connect the easier it is to take advantage of our offers. You can connect both credit and debit card accounts.

Most major UK banks are supported by Nectar Connect, so if you don’t see your bank listed, keep checking back as we will add any remaining banks as they become available.

Simply activate an offer and shop with your connected debit or credit card to collect points on that transaction. Refer to the offer T&Cs for more information on offer validity dates, exclusions and any other qualifying criteria.

Visit www.nectar.com/nectar-connect to see your personalised offers. To activate an offer, simply click activate offer / load to card. Activated offers will be saved to your Nectar Connect account.

New offers will be regularly updated. Keep checking www.nectar.com/nectar-connect to view your latest offers.

Yes, retailers set their own conditions for offers. For example, if an offer is available both online and in store or online only; the number of points per £ offered; the maximum number of points that can be earned; expiry date; etc. To find out more about specific offer T&Cs, click on the ’show offer’ link.

This is dependent upon the offer terms and conditions set by the retailer. Some offers will be applicable both online and in-store, some online-only, and some in-store only. Simply check the offer terms and conditions prior to making your purchase.

Points are collected once per activated offer.

Yes, if two of you share a joint bank account you can both connect your individual Nectar cards to collect points, and you will both receive offers. The first person to activate and use an offer will receive the points into their Nectar account – you won’t both receive points.

It can take up to 25 calendar days to award the points, but in most instances they will be awarded sooner than this.

On some occasions it can take up to 25 calendar days to award the points. If after this time your points are still missing or if you believe points have been incorrectly awarded to your account, please contact the Nectar Customer Service team.

We update offers regularly. If your offers have expired, you can check these in your account settings:

1. Click on the Settings Cog in your dashboard

2. Select ‘Expired Offers’

3. View all the offers which have now expired to check your points have been awarded

If you have activated all your offers, check back regularly to view any new offers. Your activated offers can be found in the ‘Activated Offers’ section on your dashboard.

In your Nectar Connect account activity you can view all the offers we’ve updated for your purchases with the retailers. These are a cumulative balance since you joined Nectar Connect.

Your balance in your Nectar account Activity displays a full view of your transactions and redemptions across all Nectar programme partners.

You can delink a bank account in your Nectar Connect dashboard by clicking on the bank logo and selecting ‘Remove Bank’.

Before doing this you first need to add an alternative bank account, and then remove the existing one. You always need at least one bank account linked to Nectar in order to remain in the Nectar Connect programme.

It’s easy to add a new bank. Just click on the plus (+) sign next to your current bank in your Nectar Connect dashboard, select your new bank, and follow the on-screen instructions.

If you remove all existing linked bank accounts and do not add a new one, you will be removed from the Nectar Connect programme (see next question for more details).

To permanently leave Nectar Connect you will need to delink ALL of your linked bank accounts.

You can remove each bank account in your Nectar Connect dashboard by clicking on each bank logo and selecting ‘Remove Bank’. Once you have done this and closed down your browser you will be removed from the Nectar Connect programme. This means all links between Nectar and your bank account(s) will be severed.

If you wish to re-join Nectar Connect at any point after this, you will have to go through the full sign-up journey again.

Under the current Open Banking regulations (that allow us to operate Nectar Connect) a customer has to re-authorise each bank account connection every 90 days from the date of the original connection. We will notify you ten days before this needs to happen, and again two days before. We will ask you to click on the relevant bank logo and we will take you to your bank to re-authorise the connection with Nectar Connect. You can re-authorise this connection at any time.

You need to contact Nectar to report your Nectar card as lost or stolen and we will issue you with a new card. We will automatically update your Nectar Connect details with this new Nectar card so your bank link(s) will remain in place.

All your transactional data sits in a secure bank-grade environment. We work with a specialist company called TrueLayer who is regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) to act as an Authorised Payment Institution (API) to provide Account Information Services (AIS). In other words, TrueLayer works on behalf of Nectar and acts as a messenger between us and your bank.

Here's a handy troubleshooting guide if you're missing points for an online purchase.

1. Check how much time has passed, as points from online purchases can take 35 days to show on your account. Some partner brands wait until after your cooling-off period has passed — so if you're missing points for a financial product or credit card based service, it's best to add another 14 days to that period.

2. If it's been more than 35 days, the item you bought may have been excluded from collecting points. To see if that's the case, just search for the brand you bought from on the Nectar website and click 'terms and conditions'.

3. Did you delete your cookies or set your browser to private mode when you were shopping? If we can't track your purchase, we can't add your points.

4. Did you switch to another referral site such as Quidco half way through your purchase? If we lose track of your shopping, we can't add your points.

If you've checked and still need some help, please chat with us so we can sort things out for you.

Here's a handy troubleshooting guide if your receipt shows fewer points than expected.

1. Check your Nectar points online. We show your previous five transactions and spends on your home page, next to your offer stream. If you share your Nectar card with someone else and they've spent some points, you'll see it here. For an overview of the last 30 days, simply click on 'Full Statement'.

2. If you go shopping every day, wait for 48 hours and then check your points online. It can take a bit of time for your account balance to update, so the points on your receipt may have been out of date.

3. Bonus points don't show up separately when we add them, so there's a chance you didn't notice that your points have increased.

If you've tried these steps and still need some help, please chat with us so we can sort things out for you.

Here's a handy troubleshooting guide if you're missing points for an app offer.

1. Check how much time has passed, as points from app offer purchases can take 28 days after the offer's ended before they show on your account. You can see the expiry date just below the 'Offer Active' button on the offer page.

2. If it's been more than 28 days, the item you bought may have been excluded from collecting points. To see if that's the case, just check the offer terms and conditions.

If you've checked and still need some help, please chat with us so we can sort things out for you.

Your receipt shows 1 point per pound points, plus bonus points from any paper coupons.
Points collected on offers selected through the app or website will be shown in the app or on the website. The app will also show 1 point per £1 points and 1 point per 1 litre points, but with a day’s delay.

We're proud to work with more than 300 online partners — and we're adding more all the time.

As Nectar is a UK loyalty programme, you'll need to register your card at a UK address in order to take part.

This includes:
- England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland,
- the Channel Islands and
- the Isle of Man.

Sorry, but we can't register:
- BFPO addresses,
- PO boxes or
- addresses in overseas territories such as Gibraltar.

If you live outside the UK but you come here often, perhaps you've got family or friends who'd be happy for you to use their address?

Bonus points are a special offer to help you boost your points balance and get to the rewards you want faster. To see what's available for you right now, just login to 'My Nectar' or download the Nectar App.

We show you your points balance each time you log in to the Nectar app or on nectar.com. Some partners also include it on their receipts.

In your online account you can also see your recent transactions in the "Activity" section in the card menu.

There's no automatic expiry date for Nectar points. But if you don't collect or spend any points for a year, we assume you no longer want to take part in the Nectar programme and close your account.

How many points you collect depends on the partner you buy with. At the top of their page, each brand tells you clearly how much you can collect:
- At most partner online shops, you'll collect 2 points for each £1 you spend.
- For memberships or contracts, you'll collect a fixed rate of points, for example 1,000 points when you sign up for a mobile phone contract.
- We also have weekly bonus points for you. To take us up on the offer, just select it and we'll send you straight to the right shop.

No, we need to be able to place cookies on your device so we can see that you're shopping and give you the points. Not to worry though, the cookies are safe and we respect your privacy. Read more about Nectar cookies.

It depends where you forgot to swipe, and how much time has passed since then.

Sainsbury's will add points from up to two receipts if you return within 14 days. Just take your till receipt and Nectar card to the store where you forgot to swipe.

If you’ve shopped with one of our online partners, they don't offer points if you didn't go through the Nectar website at the time. Because we know it's easy to forget, we've made the Nectar Toolbar to remind you when you're on a shopping site where you can collect points.
Download the Nectar Toolbar

Travel Money purchases do not qualify for Nectar points, however from time to time we do offer promotions where you can collect Nectar points on qualifying transactions.

2. Click 'shop now'
3. Put in your Nectar card number

If you haven't got your eVoucher after 24 hours, please chat with us and we'll sort things for you.

Please get in touch with the online shop directly with any questions, returns or comments about your order. They'll be able to explain and sort things for you.

The code usually arrives within seconds, but we've heard of rare cases where it took up to 24 hours. If it doesn't arrive at all, we probably have an old mobile number for you. You can check and update it when you log into your Nectar account. Or you can chat with us and we can sort things for you.

Instead of swiping your plastic card, go to the ‘Card’ section in the app and you’ll see a barcode. At a self-service till, when prompted to use your Nectar card, face your phone screen and squared barcode towards the scanner. You can tap the barcode to make it bigger if you need to. Move it around until it’s scanned, and just like that, you’ve got your Nectar points.
If someone’s scanning your items through for you, they’ll have a scanner next to the Chip and Pin machine that you can use.

We'll be installing phone scanners inside the petrol stations, where you'll be able to scan the digital card. However, if you usually use the Pay@Pump you'll need to use your plastic card, this is due to the use of mobile phones on forecourts being prohibited.

Here’s a handy troubleshooting guide if you got a 'blocked card' error message at Sainsbury's.
 
  1. Have you swiped your card at that Sainsbury's store in the last 12 months? If it's been longer, or if this was the first time you swiped there, the store doesn't yet know your card. 24 hours after your first swipe, you'll be able to see your balance and spend your points there.
 
  2. Have you registered your card online? To register your card, just click here. Put in the last 11 digits of your Nectar card number (everything after '3000') and follow the simple steps. Once you have completed registration you can manage your personal details, see how you've collected or spent points and opt into special offers and promotions.
 
  If you’ve tried these steps and still need some help, please get in touch so we can sort things out for you.

Yes, you can continue to use your original Nectar card we've just brightened up with our new style.

The team at Nectar have been working to reduce plastic waste and in doing so we’re trailing paperboard Nectar cards. The cards work perfectly as normal with the only difference being they are made from FSC certified paper. As this is a test only being rolled out in a select number of stores, if a replacement is ordered it will not be paperboard – this will remain a plastic card while we run the trial.

Anyone can be targeted (not just Nectar customers) and these fraudulent emails or texts often request personal information or ask you to confirm information. It might be a scam when…

• The message asks for personal information like your bank or payment details, username or password.
• The sender’s email address looks suspicious.
• There’s a sense of urgency, like a threat that your account will be closed unless you take immediate action.
• The message has a generic greeting such as ‘Dear customer.'
• You weren’t expecting it.

If you’re worried, don’t click on any links, open any attachments or forward to anyone else. Please forward any suspicious emails or screenshots to scams@nectar.com

This is our newest charity offering which we have created in partnership with Crowdfunder. It offers collectors the ability to donate their points to a huge selection of local and regional charities and good causes across the UK. All points donated by collectors will be converted into funding for the chosen charitable organisations on the platform.

All you will need to do is create an account with Crowdfunder and link your Nectar account to this (you will be prompted during registration to complete this). From here, just explore the charities available to you through https://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/nectar-donate, and once you have decided on your chosen charity click ‘Donate’ to be taken through to the payment page where donating via Nectar points will available as an option.

It is super easy to search and see what charities you can donate to. Simply, visit https://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/nectar-donate and click ‘Explore Causes’ to access the search functionality to see what causes and charities you can donate your points to.

Collectors will be able to donate from 200 Nectar points (which is the equivalent of £1). From that point any subsequent donations will need to be made in increments equivalent to £1.

Yes, every single Nectar point donated will turn into money in the pocket of your chosen charity to support the good work they do. There are no hidden fees on Nectar donations made through Crowdfunder.

Unfortunately, it will not be possible to claim Gift Aid on any donation made via points.

If the charity you wish to support isn’t on Crowdfunder please email support@crowdfunder.co.uk and if appropriate we will reach out to the charity inviting them to take join the programme.

A donation can take up to 8 weeks to reach your chosen charity from either a project close date or a pledge date depending on how the charity has set up their fundraising campaign and when your donation is made within our payment cycles.

You can only have one Nectar account linked to your Crowdfunder account at any given time.

You can delink your Nectar account by logging into your Crowdfunder account, and then clicking the ‘Edit Profile’ button. From here you can then access the “Nectar Account” section, which will bring up your existing account details, simply, click the bin icon to remove that card. Once this has been completed you will be prompted to link your new account.

Currently, this functionality is not available, and you will need to choose between card or points to donate to charities. However, this is something we would like to introduce in the future.
