Sainsbury’s shoppers can now earn Nectar points on grocery orders placed through Uber Eats.
The new loyalty scheme gives customers more ways to collect points when shopping for groceries for delivery, but Sainsbury’s is reminding users that they must enter their full Nectar card number at checkout.
Customers can now collect one Nectar point for every £1 spent on eligible Sainsbury’s products ordered via the Uber Eats app or website.
Katie Hunter, Uber Eats general manager for grocery and retail in the UK, said: “We know how much Uber Eats customers love Nectar, so bringing points directly to their Sainsbury’s orders was a no-brainer.
“Now, they can collect Nectar points on all their Sainsbury’s essentials as well as spending them across the entire Uber app.
“It’s all about delivering flexibility, convenience and value for customers right alongside their favourite groceries.”
The scheme is available at more than 1,300 Sainsbury’s stores across the UK that are signed up to Uber Eats.
It covers orders for fresh food, household items, and other eligible products.
A minimum spend of £1 is required to earn points, and customers must enter their full Nectar card number at checkout.
Points cannot be added retrospectively.
Nectar points earned through Uber Eats grocery orders will be credited to customer accounts within 28 days.
Some items are excluded from the scheme, including gift vouchers, baby milk, lottery tickets, tobacco, vapes, nicotine products, proprietary medicines, spirits, and liqueurs.
Additional restrictions apply to alcohol orders in Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland.
The move builds on the existing partnership between Nectar and Uber, which currently allows Nectar members to redeem points for vouchers covering Uber journeys and Uber Eats orders.
Customers can now earn points on Sainsbury’s orders placed via Uber Eats and later use those points for Uber or Uber Eats vouchers.
Mark Given, Sainsbury’s chief technology, marketing and data officer, said: “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.
“It’s another way we’re helping customers get more from Nectar, whether they’re stocking up on essentials, planning dinner or making everyday life that little bit easier.”
