Sainsbury's Nectar 'double-up' promo returns for some shoppers – how to check if you can get it

Nectar's double-up promo had been a long-running perk of the loyalty scheme before 2021, when it was axed in favour of personalised offers and discounts. 

Now, Sainsbury's, which runs Nectar, has brought back the double-up deal for some of its shoppers as part of a trial – we've full info below.

How the Nectar Points Power Up promo works

Here's what you need to know about the offer:

• If eligible, you can DOUBLE the value of your points. One Nectar point is usually worth 0.5p. So, for example, 2,000 points would normally be worth £10 when redeemed at Sainsbury's. However, with Points Power Up, 2,000 points would instead get you a £20 voucher to spend at the supermarket.

• You have until 11.59pm on Friday 24 November to swap your points. Again, the only way to do this is using the Nectar app. The conversion should be instant.

• You need at least 2,000 points to take part. That's the minimum amount you can exchange under the promo. The maximum you can swap, in total, is 10,000 points.

• Vouchers can be spent in store or online at Sainsbury's. Unlike in previous double-up promos, the vouchers are NOT limited to certain categories of products such as clothing, homeware or electricals – you can use them to buy almost anything at Sainsbury's (there is a small list of exceptions, such as spirits and liqueurs, lottery tickets and tobacco – see the full offer terms for more info).

• Vouchers will be valid for one month from the date of the swap. They also must be used in one transaction – you won't get change if your basket total comes to less than the value of your voucher.
