Sainsbury's Reward Card

I am old enough to remember when the Sainsbury's card was first introduced. For that reason, my review is not going to be as positive as those that have come to it in recent years. When it first came out it really was a reward card, these days I see it more as a loyalty card. You would arrive at Sainsbury, with only a rough outline shopping list as your choices would be influenced by all the bonus points you could earn. You could buy loads of items and earn an extra 100 points or more. It was not unusual to get over 500 points in a trip- I remember once getting over a thousand. To put that in perspective- I was only buying for me. The points you now need is ...  Read the complete review

I do not shop very often at Sainsbury's any more, but I do have their reward card. They have a slighly confusing reward system because they give you 2 points for each pound you spend, which may make you think that you are better off than at rival Tesco, only to find that 500 points only give you the equivalent of 2.50 pounds. One of the benefits of this card, though, is that it can be redeemed without delay, while with Tesco you need to wait some time and also that it can be redeemed for vouchers at other locations like Cafe Nero. They clearly mark with items in the supermarket are giving you double points and some time even triple points ...  Read the complete review

Sainsbury?s what a reward Do you have a Sainsbury ?s reward card in your purse or wallet with your Tesco?s card, Next card, Safeway?s card, Dorothy Perkins card, and all the others? I do not shop in Sainsbury?s very often; it isn?t conveniently placed for me. But when I shop I do use it. It is a bright orange colour easy to find in my wallet full of all the other cards most of them seem to be blue. When you spend £1 you get 2 points on your card to convert your points into cash you have to have 500 points that gives you £2.50 of your next bill. You could convert it to get £5.00 of your bill at Bella pasta or Café ...  Read the complete review

Sainsburys reward card is one that you should not be without even if you only shop at odd times in Sainsburys. To get a card just go to the customer service counter and ask for one. If you have plenty of time you can fill out your details there and then on the form provided but if you are in a bit of a rush you can fill it out at home to register and take it in another time or even post it. You can also register on line. Whichever way you register, it makes no difference to using your card there and then. To use your card is simple. Just hand it over when you pay for your goods and they will swipe it through the machine for you. You get 2 ...  Read the complete review

For as long as I can remember, I've been a regular Sainsbury's customer. It's always happened to be the closest supermarket wherever I've lived. Just coincidence? Why Get a Card? --------------- Being a student, I'm very easily sucked into offers left, right, and centre. In the good old days reward points were accumulated 1 point per pound spent. Simple enough. Each 250 points could be exchanged for a £2.50 voucher. Simple enough again. You could get bonus points by buying particular products, or perhaps combination of products. It seems only obvious that you can benefit from these points if you have a Reward card, and so I got one. ...  Read the complete review
