A 75-year-old Sainsbury's customer has complained to the supermarket giant after it prevented shoppers from accessing savings online with its new Nectar scheme.

Nectar card-holders may be able to save "£200/year" at Sainsbury's when they use its SmartShop app to scan items as they shop in store, as it'll trigger cost-cutting deals of up to 30% off.

Sainsbury's has launched a 'Nectar Prices' promotion, giving discounts of between 5% and 50% on 266 items to Nectar card-holders until early March. While the deals are often beatable, if you're buying with a Nectar card at Sainsbury's anyway, they're a no-brainer.

Some Sainsbury's customers have been sent the wrong Nectar 'double-up' vouchers that are worth a fraction of the amount they'd ordered – or haven't received any at all.
