Sainsbury's shoppers urged to make quick change to Nectar card in next 14 days

Sainsbury's has advised its customers to take one simple step to ensure they don't miss out on collecting points. The supermarket chain reassured shoppers who forget their loyalty cards that they can still accumulate by providing proof of purchase for in-store items within a fortnight of buying the products.

Online shoppers can also retrospectively earn points by associating the transaction with their loyalty card within 14 days of purchasing the goods. The points should then be credited to the Nectar card within a month. This advice from came after a conversation between the grocer and a customer, Michael Reaney, on on Tuesday afternoon (April 22).

Michael queried: "@sainsburys I've just purchased petrol from your West Hove petrol station and didn't have my Nectar card on me. Is there any way to get the points on my card retrospectively? Got the receipt if that helps?"

In response, the supermarket advised: "Hi Michael, thanks for getting in touch. If you return to store with your card and receipt, my colleagues there will get that for you."

Karen, a representative from the grocer, added: "You have 14 days to get the points added."
