Is it allowed to multiply your acrual of Avios by combining multiple channels when shopping online? For example, with acrual of nectar/avios when shopping at Sainsburys.
So if I want to do an online order for home delivery at Sainsburys, I would use the Sainsburys link on the BA shopping site and pay using an Amex or Barclaycard Avios card.
This should give me tthe regular nectar points, the referral points points from shoppoing.ba.com (rate 3 per £1) and the Avios credit card points. Is this correct?

Certainly a Challenge
Does the Sainsbury's fruit an veg challenge seem a bit off this year?
”On average you buy 46 portions a month.”
So…
Has the fare filing intern got a job at nectar?
”On average you buy 46 portions a month.”
So…
- 50 points for 900 portions of avocado
- 50 points for 1000 portions of broccoli
- 50 points for 1500 portions of pepper
- 50 points for 3500 portions of tomatoes

My mother has something like 15,000 portions to earn 50 points.
It's gone a bit screwy since yesterday. 6 more portions to get my first 50 points when it sorts itself out
(9906 more portions for me today).
A portion is something like 30g-80g depending on the product.
Got 94/100 for buying a pack of 3 peppers and a pack of mushrooms yesterday.

A “portion” is 80g for the purposes of the promotion. So 280kg of tomatoes gets 25p.
There must, surely, be some intern error by a factor of 1,000. Kg / g confusion perhaps.

I forgot about all this prize draw. Just had an email from Avios Promotions & Prizes confirming that I have won 5,000 Avios! I've no idea how the value of the prize is calculated, it just says I have been randomly selected and the prize is 5,000 Avios.

I get a monthly bonus for Sainsbury home insurance and sainsbury energy (x2).
Normally those bonus credits are pretty close to my monthly spend (about 500 or so), but the last couple of months have dropped significantly.
anyone else seen the same problem?
I haven’t got around to contacting nectar yet, as the amounts are fairly trivial but it’s annoying, and it it continues it will start to stack up.
