Is there a limit to the amount of shopping points I can earn by being on Sainsbury’s Energy Fix & Reward?

Single fuel customers can earn a maximum of 3,500 Nectar points per year, and dual fuel customers can earn a maximum of 7,000 Nectar points per year.

How many Nectar points will I earn?

You will earn 1 point per £1 spent in Sainsbury’s stores for each fuel on the Sainsbury’s Energy Fix & Reward tariff.

What's the Nectar points per £1 offer?

If you sign up to Sainsbury's Energy Fix & Reward as a dual fuel customer, you'll get triple points for every £1 spent in Sainsbury's stores and petrol pumps when you use your Nectar card. If you're a single fuel customer you'll get double points for every £1 spent.

That means if you're a dual fuel customer and spend £60 a week on your shopping at Sainsbury's, you could get 180 points - 60 when you swipe your Nectar card as normal and 120 for being a dual fuel Sainsbury's Energy Fix & Reward customer.

How do I collect my Nectar points?

If you have the Fix and Reward tariff and you gave us your Nectar card number when you applied, all you need to do is swipe your Nectar card at Sainsburys supermarkets and petrol stations.

How will I get my extra Nectar points?

If you've linked your Nectar card details then your points will be added to your account automatically.

As a Sainsbury’s Energy Customer we will add your qualifying points for the previous month on the 10th of each month. The first lot of loyalty points will be accessible on the first 10th of the month after the SSD (Supply Start Date). All you need to do is make sure your nectar card is activated and you’ve given us your Nectar card details.
