That is my biggest issue with these schemes, if you have any problems they just point the finger at each other and pretend they have nothing to do with each other.

A new nectar points challenge. Buy 5 “healthy choice” items to get 400 points (x 5).
Sainsburys introduced a new little label on items, its green with a yellow sun in the middle with words “healthy choice” on it. Some items I’d question if they really are healthy…Chicken tikka masala in a tin?!

Bonus points didn't post on Friday, but the offers disappeared from the list. Waited until today and contacted Nectar support via chat. Was told that bonus offers have nothing to do with Nectar, these are from my local Sainsbury's and I should take it up with them. I find it but hard to believe but maybe so. I guess have to screenshot every single offer before shopping, otherwise I have no proof.
So it seems strange that they can decide on local offers, but then are dependent on HO to stock them! Like many organisations these days, no joined up thinking!

Check you have the latest version of the app installed - update manually if necessary. These offers typically don’t show on anything other than the most recent version, some people even need to duplicate on ipad as they don’t support older iphone software any more.

Alas definitely up to date, but thanks. I've had that same issue before, so I'll check tomorrow and maybe hard reset the app/phone.

Not directly Avios related, but had a mail today to say the Caffč Nero partnership is ending - no more exchanging Nectar points for free coffees after the 18th August. Disaster - that was by far my best redemption usage, and my benchmark value for Avios if I converted to nectar (i.e. about 1.5p)
I'm going to lay in a huge stock of coffee vouchers before the deadline, they will still be valid for a year.

I got the email below today.
I unlock each time I go in the store, but yet another obstacle they find to put in the way.
I cann see less generosity with the nectar points going forward.
As you're an active Nectar Sainsbury's shopper we're informing you of changes to the way you access Your Nectar Prices. For your personalised discounts, which will be valid from 25th July 2025, this means:

I don’t understand why they make this so complicated, is it just hoping people will forget to do it and then not get the discount?
They also recently changed it from “activate” to “unlock” for some reason!

Ive had a couple of occasions recently where I've unlocked all 21 offers, gone into a shop and bought a few things, and got no points.
Checked my offers and the items I bought, say 5, were not now unlocked.

Shittification.
