Shoppers are advised to input their Nectar details before making purchases from Sainsbury’s via Uber Eats. As part of an extensive enhancement to the loyalty program, customers can now earn one Nectar point for every £1 spent on eligible Sainsbury’s items through the Uber Eats platform.
To ensure points are credited, shoppers must enter their complete Nectar card number during checkout, as retroactive points are not possible. The new collection feature is accessible at participating Sainsbury’s stores on Uber Eats, with a broad expansion covering over 1,300 locations throughout the UK.
This enhancement allows customers utilizing the swift delivery service for fresh groceries, household necessities, or last-minute buys to accumulate rewards on their orders. Once a Nectar card is linked, qualifying points will be added to the shopper’s account within 28 days, with a minimum spend requirement of £1.
Certain products are excluded from earning points, such as gift vouchers, baby milk, lottery tickets, tobacco, vapes, nicotine products, proprietary medicines, spirits, and liqueurs. Additionally, specific restrictions apply to alcohol purchases in Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland.
The launch of this feature extends the existing collaboration between Nectar and Uber, enabling members to convert points into vouchers for Uber rides and Uber Eats purchases. Consequently, customers can amass Nectar points when purchasing Sainsbury’s groceries through Uber Eats and later redeem their balance for an Uber voucher.
To redeem points, members should access the Nectar app, navigate to the “Partners” section, and choose Uber. Katie Hunter, Uber Eats’ general manager for grocery and retail in the UK, emphasized the convenience and value this initiative brings to customers alongside their preferred groceries.
Mark Given, Sainsbury’s chief technology, marketing, and data officer, expressed that this expansion offers Nectar members an additional avenue to derive value from the partnership. This move aligns with the goal of enhancing customer benefits and simplifying everyday life through Nectar rewards.
Shoppers interested in earning points must select groceries from a participating Sainsbury’s store via Uber Eats and input their Nectar card number before finalizing the transaction.
