Just in case my title seems a bit odd for those not familiar with the BA forum (where this was originally posted) my title was using the BA marketing definition of 'enhanced' which means the opposite of what it does in regular English

I agree the scheme is not particularly rewarding and this just makes it worse. If I happen to go to Sainsbury's I will use my Nectar card because getting something is better than nothing but it doesn't do anything to help make me choose Sainsbury's over everything else.

I was surprised this got moved to a budget travel forum (due to the easyJet connection) rather than the UK & Ireland forum.
