Sainsbury's tells Nectar members they have 'two weeks' to use points

manchestereveningnews.co.uk:

Sainsbury's has delivered a two-week notice to Nectar cardholders after a significant change in policy. Shoppers have been told that, come September 1, the option to collect or redeem Nectar points directly through eBay will no longer be available, with the current linking between accounts set to be removed.

At present, customers rack up one Nectar point per £1 when they shop on eBay's site or mobile application. However once the new system kicks in, they will still have the opportunity to accumulate points.

After the start of September, to continue accruing points on eBay purchases, shoppers will have to use the Nectar platform. Though this change will be frustrating for some, Sainsbury's has introduced a new deal for Nectar users that should help them boost their total number of points.

A representative for Nectar explained the upcoming transformation: "From the 1st of September 2024, the way you collect and spend Nectar points with eBay is changing. "You will no longer be able to collect or spend Nectar points directly on the eBay website or app, and your Nectar and eBay accounts will be unlinked. "However, you will be able to collect Nectar points on your eBay transactions when you shop via Nectar.
