Sainsbury's has expanded its Nectar loyalty scheme to allow customers to earn points on grocery orders placed through the Uber Eats platform. This move offers shoppers an additional avenue to collect Nectar points, building on the existing partnership that allows redemption for Uber journeys and Uber Eats orders.

Under the new arrangement, customers will receive one Nectar point for every £1 spent on eligible Sainsbury's products ordered via the Uber Eats app or website. A minimum spend of £1 is required to earn points. To ensure points are credited, customers must provide their full Nectar card number during the checkout process. Points earned will appear in customer accounts within 28 days and cannot be applied retrospectively.
Katie Hunter, Uber Eats general manager for grocery and retail in the UK, stated that integrating Nectar points with Sainsbury's orders was a logical step. "We know how much Uber Eats customers love Nectar, so bringing points directly to their Sainsbury’s orders was a no-brainer," Hunter said. She added that the scheme provides "flexibility, convenience and value for customers right alongside their favourite groceries."

The loyalty programme is accessible at more than 1,300 Sainsbury's stores across the UK that are partnered with Uber Eats. The scheme covers a range of items, including fresh food and household goods. However, certain products are excluded from earning points. These include gift vouchers, baby milk, lottery tickets, tobacco, vapes, nicotine products, proprietary medicines, spirits, and liqueurs. Additional restrictions may apply to alcohol purchases in Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland.
Mark Given, Sainsbury’s chief technology, marketing and data officer, highlighted the integrated benefits for Nectar members. "Nectar members can already turn their points into Uber rides or Uber Eats treats, and now they can collect points when ordering Sainsbury’s groceries through Uber Eats too," Given said. He described it as "another way we’re helping customers get more from Nectar."
