Which Supermarket Loyalty Scheme is Your Favourite?
Other
Personally I get the most value out of Tesco Clubcard. It’s my closest supermarket so I end up using it more often than the others, and both my phones (business and personal) are also through Tesco Mobile so the points add up quite quickly for me.
As I do almost all my shopping with Tesco that's the one I get most out of. Just checked and have £80 vouchers to use. Every now and again we treat ourselves to something... but also the club card prices are often well worth having too
didbygraham £80 in vouchers is a great amount to have! I agree with the clubcard prices being great too - I wouldn’t buy a lot of things if they weren’t clubcard prices.
didbygraham how do you get these voucher i have just applied for a tesco card online
My local supermarket is Sainsbury so I do pop in there, I use the Nectar card and have over £200 on it. I used to always take advantage of the double up scheme that was around November time and buy Xmas gifts and Birthday gifts but they stopped that promotion unfortunately. I will probably just start spending money off my card in store and at Argos.
I'm part of the Sainsbury, Tesco and Lidl schemes but the one I use the most is Lidl plus. It is where I shop most often and I save a minimum of £12 a month using it. I would love it if Asda did a loyalty scheme. I know they have one for buying George items online but I wish they did one in-store for everything.
MrsCraig I may be wrong, but I think they are trialling one in some Asda stores. Maybe someone can tell us what it is like??
Grannyclock oh really, I might have to look into that. If they are I hope they bring it to Scotland.
This site allows you to register an interest and they'll let you know when it comes to a store near you. There are some in Scotland!
I mainly shop at Tesco and I’ve got £109 in vouchers after just checking! We used to use them for meals out and I’ve been treating myself to magazine subscriptions lately.
When we pop into Sainsburys I take advantage of the ‘My Nectar Prices’ that I can get using their Smartshop scanner. Saved £2.68 on the last few items I bought there.
snoogans888 That’s a great amount of vouchers to have accumulated from Tesco! It sounds like you’re saving quite a bit at Sainsbury’s too.
snoogans888 the nectar prices are good because they are multiuse. I also use the bonus points to get better than freebies, eg 200 points on tinned fish.
Grannyclock oh I didn’t realise they are multiuse so thanks for the tip! I agree some products have very good bonus points.
I have Tesco Clubcard & Nectar. I do pretty much all our shopping at Tesco so rack up points on there. I recently got my son & his girlfriend a lovely set from Denby using Clubcard points.
Glitterandgold That sounds like a nice way to use your points - I bet they were happy with that!
ChelsieLou90 I’ve never found I get much at Boots, but then I dont spend a lot in there either so I guess that makes sense. I tend to buy things I’d get there from Tesco when I’m there instead.
I've never thought much of the Tesco scheme but we don't do a main shop there very often. I tend to do better with the sainsbury's personalised offers.
Midnightflower For me the Sainsburys personalised offers never seem very good - for example I’m allergic to cows milk and every time I do go there it says It’ll give me money off the biggest bottle of cows milk. I’ve never bought it but it still gives me that offer every single time.
I have all the loyalty cards and find they can all be good in specific circumstances. For instance, clubcard prices are great when combined with cashback from an app.
Grannyclock I like combining them with cashback apps too - makes it go even further!
Tescos, I used to like the deal you could do with doubling up for days out and meals or on the clothes section,
calleighisabell I think It’s useful when they have the double up promotions too. Makes it stretch even further
jillylovesyou If it wasn’t for my allergies I’d use Aldi more. The prices are good, but I can’t get enough food I can actually eat unfortunately.
I wish they weren't called loyalty cards as they don't reward loyalty. My husband has his own cards and he gets much better offers even though he buys far less. Presumably to encourage him into the shops.
Sainsburys for sure although I miss the double up event. Still use the points for coffees in Nero which is cheaper than buying with your money.
Tesco. I love paying less for advertised goods for club card holders only. I have no sympathy for those who insist on shopping at Tesco without its loyalty card.
I'm a fan of all the loyalty schemes . I do look forward to the new 1 for Asda Rewards which hopefully will be going nationwide with it . I do get a lot of points for Nectar , clubcard but I do a thing called wombling and they do bring me a lot of points to the point I get roughly £20 - £30 a month towards my fuel bill each month .
I do take advantage as well to the reduction in prices through Sainsburys and Tescos when using the loyalty card .
Tesco without a doubt. I just got my statement through and have double points on 2 shops and more coupons. I also get my fuel from Tesco.
I would vote tesco club card to as we do shop at Asda but they don’t appear to have a loyalty scheme in place.
Lidl plus is great i shop there most days both for my family and also my elderly neighbour so i get a lot of free items and discounts each month, last month it was 34
I have zero loyalty to any supermarket and tend to rotate where I shop to get the best prices so I use all the main supermarkets. Each seems to have decent deals for certain items. Aldi is now my closest supermarket which I can walk to and there is only really a limited amount of items I can buy there which I like which are easy to carry so probably works out the best value as the prices are cheap, the quality decent for the items I buy mainly and I can carry the shopping home meaning no petrol used and a bit of exercise. So I do build up points with Clubcard, Nectar etc but very slowly. It's really discount vouchers that motivate me to use a supermarket so if £5 off appears on lidl plus I go there or there is a voucher code sent to me for other supermarkets I go there and that is typically a significant discount especially as I try to keep to the minimum spend requirements, i.e. £6 off a £30 shop is 20% off if you spend £30.
I sort of think loyalty cards can be a distraction and motivate you to keep to the same supermarket which may not always be the best option as often the points are only a penny in the pound or sometimes less which is nothing compared to a 20p saving on a couple of items.
emmajd Tesco's ClubCard prices are just the prices it should be by default, but without it it's a ripoff.
I've been using Sainsbury's myself with Nectar points and cashback so it's a good incentive.
I’ve found the new Asda Rewards pretty good, it seems to build up quick, certainly a lot quicker than I build up Tesco Clubcard points or Sainsbury‘s Nectar points
lornaae I wish I had an Asda nearby so since I don't, I just use Sainsbury's and make use of the Nectar reward system.
I use Tesco and Sainsburys quite regularly. I’ve just used all of my Tesco Clubcard points to buy a few toys for my grandkids for Christmas. Takes me a while to build the points up tho.
Sainsburys seem to take forever to get many points.
