Sainsbury's Uber Eats add Nectar points to grocery orders

Sainsbury's customers can now earn loyalty points on their grocery deliveries through Uber Eats, the supermarket announced this week. The expansion of its partnership with the Nectar program means shoppers will collect one Nectar point for every pound spent on eligible Sainsbury's groceries ordered via the Uber Eats app or website.

To benefit, customers must ensure their full Nectar card number is entered at checkout before finalizing an order, as points cannot be awarded retroactively. Eligible points will be added to a user's account within 28 days. The service is available through participating Sainsbury's stores on Uber Eats, encompassing more than 1,300 locations across the UK. Certain items, including gift vouchers, baby milk, lottery tickets, tobacco, and vapes, are excluded from the points offer, and a minimum spend of one pound is required.

The move deepens the existing relationship between Nectar and Uber, which already allows members to convert their points into vouchers for Uber rides and Uber Eats purchases. Now, customers can accumulate points on their Sainsbury's grocery orders and later spend that balance within the Uber ecosystem.
