With many loyalty cards now available, you might wonder if signing up for a Nectar Card is worth it. This article will introduce you to everything you need to know; from how to save Nectar points, where to spend Nectar points and how the Nectar Card can save you money on the weekly shop.
How can I get a Nectar Card?
Getting hold of a Nectar Card is easy. You can either:
- Head to Nectar online and complete a registration form, a physical Nectar card will be sent to you within 14 days.
- Go in-store and pick up a registration pack. You will get a Nectar card in the pack that you can start using straight away.
- Download the Nectar Card app. This is by far the quickest and easiest way to get the Nectar Card. You can use the app straight away. And even if you have registered before, the app is a handy tool for Nectar card members.
Are Nectar Cards Free?
Yes. However you choose to sign up, Nectar Card membership is free for everyone. Most of us are looking for ways to save money on groceries so it's worth having a Nectar Card; even if you don't shop very often. And that's because they provide reduced prices (Nectar Prices) and passive savings via Nectar points.
What is the purpose of a Nectar Card?
In a similar way to other loyalty cards like the Tesco Clubcard, the Nectar Card offers Nectar Prices. This means that Nectar customers will pay less for hundreds of products both in-store and online. For this reason alone, the Nectar Card IS worth getting. There is nothing more annoying than paying more for something you know you could have for less! And with the cost of living crisis making us all feel the pinch, any savings are worth having.
In addition to this, you can collect points when using your Nectar Card for purchases. You can save up the points and redeem them to save money on your shopping later.
Where to collect Your Nectar points
You might associate the Nectar card with Sainsbury’s, but you can collect Nectar points from over 350 brands. Some of our favourites include:
Argos

How do Nectar points work?
When shopping at Sainsbury’s and Argos you will get 1 Nectar point for every £1 you spend. 1 Nectar point is worth 50p. 500 points will get you £2.50 which you can put towards your next shop or purchase.
It’s also good to know that when you shop at Sainsbury's using the SmartShop app you can save up to 30% off items that you buy frequently. The system will automatically generate the discount on well-known brands as well as own-brand products.
Get points when buying fuel
Remember to scan your card or app when you buy fuel at an Esso garage. You will receive 2 Nectar points for every £1 you spend on fuel.
How many Nectar Points can you get at eBay?
Don't forget you use your Nectar Card when you shop at eBay. For every £1 that you spend, you will receive one Nectar Point. You can only collect points on eligible items up to a maximum of 300 points.
How many Nectar Points will Expedia give me?
Travellers can make the most of Nectar Card membership. Nectar will give you 2 points for every £1 you spend at Expedia.
