Christmas 2026

Why do you think that?

I save nectar points throughout the year and spend them on my big Christmas/new years shop. More than happy to get my shopping for £100 less than it should be

because they stopped doing that double points for christmas and it feels like you have to buy loads everytime to get them.
The double points went from being everything to being really specific and then dropped

I have the nectar app and it's really easy to save up the points as you often get more than double the points for items on your nectar offers. I find that my offers are almost always items I've bought before, so it's not like I'm buying random things just to try and collect points.

Yesterday for example, I spent just over £29, so got 29 points, but I also got an extra 70 points from my nectar offers, so I technically got over triple points for that shop. They also have various events throughout the year where they give you an extra 1000 points or so over the course of a month by you hitting certain targets, which I find easy to reach, even shopping for just a family of two, so I can't really complain about how Sainsbury's are doing nectar points tbh!

Be careful with the nectar points as I’ve heard about people’s accounts being hacked

Thank you. They've now introduced locked spending so hopefully they will be safe.

You can use them in Argos too, but there isn't anything I particularly want.
