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:
“While greedy good-doers, beneficent beasts of prey,
Swarm over their lives enforcing benefits ...”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“Clearly, some time ago makers and consumers of American junk food passed jointly through some kind of sensibility barrier in the endless quest for new taste sensations. Now they are a little like those desperate junkies who have tried every known drug and are finally reduced to mainlining toilet bowl cleanser in an effort to get still higher.”
—Bill Bryson (b. 1951)
