Benefits To Consumers
Points are normally collected at a rate of two points for every £1 spent. Extra points may be earned when buying certain products or during particular promotions. The number of points on offer can vary, fuel for instance, collects points at a rate of one point per litre.
Customers also receive 1 Nectar point for every carrier bag they re-use.
Sainsbury's shoppers effectively receive under 1% discount on goods purchased there. After spending £250 (with each receipt rounded down to the nearest pound), 500 points are earned, which translates to a rebate of £2.50 to be redeemed at the next shop. The same applies at Homebase. Nectar cardholders also collect points from selected online retailers, if the purchase is made via the Nectar website.
As a rule of thumb, collectors usually get back 0.5p for every point collected. One must collect at least 500 points to be eligible for any offers.

Famous quotes containing the words benefits and/or consumers:
“I do seriously believe that if we can measure among the States the benefits resulting from the preservation of the Union, the rebellious States have the larger share. It destroyed an institution that was their destruction. It opened the way for a commercial life that, if they will only embrace it and face the light, means to them a development that shall rival the best attainments of the greatest of our States.”
—Benjamin Harrison (1833–1901)
“The ideology of this America wants to establish reassurance through Imitation. But profit defeats ideology, because the consumers want to be thrilled not only by the guarantee of the Good but also by the shudder of the Bad.”
—Umberto Eco (b. 1932)
