Sainsbury's shoppers urged to make quick change to Nectar card in next 14 days
Sainsbury's has advised its customers to take one simple step to ensure they don't miss out on collecting points. The supermarket chain reassured shoppers who forget their loyalty cards that they can still accumulate Nectar points by providing proof of purchase for in-store items within a fortnight of buying the products.
Online shoppers can also retrospectively earn points by associating the transaction with their loyalty card within 14 days of purchasing the goods. The points should then be credited to the Nectar card within a month. This advice from Sainsbury's came after a conversation between the grocer and a customer, Michael Reaney, on X on Tuesday afternoon (April 22).
Michael queried: "@sainsburys I've just purchased petrol from your West Hove petrol station and didn't have my Nectar card on me. Is there any way to get the points on my card retrospectively? Got the receipt if that helps?"
In response, the supermarket advised: "Hi Michael, thanks for getting in touch. If you return to store with your card and receipt, my colleagues there will get that for you."
Karen, a representative from the grocer, added: "You have 14 days to get the points added."
This lesser-known tip from Sainsbury's could benefit many people looking to increase their Nectar points, but are uncertain whether it's possible to add the points after the purchase has been made, reports Birmingham Live.
The supermarket giant, Sainsbury's, has stated that Nectar points can be used on a wide range of items, from the weekly shop to drinks at Café Nero.
The company's website also enables customers to convert their shop points into British Airways vouchers.
Additionally, the Nectar card offers its members access to discounts and deals when presented at the checkout.

Shopping expert's school uniform money saving tips match Aldi's £5 deal
Shopping expert's school uniform money saving tips match Aldi's £5 deal Consumer expert Abigail Yearley has shared her top tips for reducing the bill of back to school season, including how to get a seven-piece uniform bundle for as little as £1.27 an item The average school uniform cost is £442 for secondary school gear and £343 for primary school according to new government figures (Image: GETTY) With the summer holidays in full swing, families across the country are starting the expensive and lengthy annual task of purchasing uniforms and other back-to-school necessities. Department for Education (DfE) statistics reveal that it costs an average of £442 to equip a child for secondary school and £343 for primary school. To address this issue, the government is tackling rising uniform expenses through its proposed Children's Wellbeing and Schools Bill, which will restrict the number of branded - and consequently more costly - items schools can include on uniform lists, giving parents flexibility to purchase cheaper alternatives. In recent years, supermarket clothing ranges such as Tu at Sainsbury's, George at Asda, and F&F at Tesco have joined Matalan and other budget retailers in expanding their uniform collections to challenge the higher prices of high street brands like M&S and Next. However, a consumer expert has highlighted a method to save even more on budget uniform, bringing the cost down to match Aldi's sold-out £5 uniform bundle, reports the Mirror. Abigail Yearley, director at TopCashback, explained that whilst parents can often feel relief when children return to school in September, expenses can rapidly accumulate and become 'overwhelming.' She explained: "There's often a long list of things to replace such as outgrown uniforms, broken stationery and worn-out shoes. Fortunately, back-to-school doesn't have to cost a fortune. "There are lots of savvy methods that can be used to save in the run up to the new school year, from using voucher codes and taking advantage of promotions, to shopping using a cashback website or second-hand to cut costs." TopCashback provides a percentage return on every qualifying purchase throughout the year, plus a free £15 new member sign-up bonus for fresh customers. This can be utilised at most school uniform stockists including Tu at Sainsbury's, George at Asda, F&F at Tesco, Matalan and M&S, meaning savings can soon add up. Sainsbury's Tu Clothing School Uniform Shop (Image: Sainsbury's) As an illustration, TopCashback members shopping at Tu could pick up a seven-piece uniform package comprising two pairs of trousers (or two skirts ), three pairs of long sleeve school shirts and two V-neck jumpers for as little as £8.89 depending on size once cashback is received. Per garment, this equals the same cost as Aldi's enormously popular four-piece uniform bundle. Aldi's uniform bundle is an annual sell-out and causes much discussion on money-saving social media groups with its budget offer of four uniform essentials for £5. Nevertheless, whilst it's broadly regarded as the most affordable uniform choice, it is exclusively available in-store only during very early summer, with this year's launch occurring in late June and selling out within hours as customers rushed for the deal. The TopCashback uniform deal is available now and, for shoppers who'd prefer to shop elsewhere, the £15 new member bonus can be used to offset costs for plenty of other essential items. In addition to offering discounts on uniforms, TopCashback's new member sign-up can be used with other brands such as Kickers for school shoes (where it can be combined with their up to 40% off school shoes sale) or The Works for stationery essentials - although the percentage of cashback earned alongside the £15 bonus will vary by shop. Customers must register via TopCashback's new member link and then shop as usual to receive the money back. (Image: Caiaimage/Chris Ryan via Getty Images) Abigail Yearley's additional top tips on saving money this back-to-school season, include: Creating a list of 'must-buys' - and remembering not everything needs to be bought now: Staggering spend is an excellent way to lessen its impact. Where possible, try holding out, as many items go on sale once the school year begins. TopCashback's Money Guide provides a complete school checklist and even more savings tips for the new school year. Abigail says: "It's important to get first dibs on the bigger items such as schoolwear, but things like stationary bundles or tech can wait until the school year has started or the days just before." Shop around: Keep an eye out for discount codes or multibuy offers to maximise savings. Article continues below Don't overlook second-hand and pre-loved uniform: Often children outgrow clothes before they wear out. Many schools will have a shop of donated items to choose from and there are online outlets from Uniformerly to eBay and Vinted as well as Facebook Marketplace. Prepare for the unexpected: Growth spurts are a given, and many retailers have provisions in place for such unforeseen changes. Clarks provides a fit guarantee on school shoes, making it easy to exchange them up to three months after purchase if they become too snug. Asda, Tesco and Matalan also offer a 100-day guarantee, so if the quality or fit isn't up to scratch, you can return them and receive a full refund.

Dow set to open at record high on rate-cut hopes, UnitedHealth gains
Aug 15 (Reuters) - The blue-chip Dow was on track to open at a record high on Friday, underpinned by expectations of an interest rate cut in September and gains in UnitedHealth's shares after Berkshire Hathaway raised its stake in the health insurer. Futures tracking the tech-heavy Nasdaq were slightly off as chip stocks weakened after Applied Materials (AMAT.O), opens new tab warned of weak China demand. UnitedHealth Group (UNH.N), opens new tab jumped 11.5% in premarket trading after Warren Buffett's company (BRKa.N), opens new tab revealed a new investment in the health insurer, while a securities filing showed Michael Burry's Scion Asset Management included bullish positions in the company. Rising costs in the broader healthcare sector and an about 46% slump in heavyweight UnitedHealth's shares this year have left the Dow (.DJI), opens new tab lagging its Wall Street peers on the road to record highs. The price-weighted index last scaled an all-time high on December 4. This week, however, the healthcare sector (.SPXHC), opens new tab is the top performer on the benchmark S&P 500 and is on track for its best weekly performance in three. Other insurers also gained, with Elevance (ELV.N), opens new tab up 4.2%, Centene (CNC.N), opens new tab rising 2.9% and Molina (MOH.N), opens new tab adding 3.7% before the bell on Friday. More broadly, the main U.S. stock indexes are on track for their second week of gains, buoyed by expectations that the Fed could restart its monetary policy easing cycle with a 25-basis-point interest rate cut in September. The central bank last lowered borrowing costs in December and said U.S. tariffs could add to price pressures. However, recent labor market weakness and signs that tariff-induced inflation was yet to reflect in headline consumer prices have made investors confident of a potential dovish move next month. "A 25bps rate cut is still almost fully priced in although it has put a dampener on tentative expectations that the Fed could deliver an even larger 50bps rate cut like last September," analysts at MUFG said in a note. "Market participants are still confident that the Fed will resume rate cuts in response to weakness in the labor market and the lack of pass through so far to consumer prices from higher tariffs as evident in this week's CPI report." At 07:16 a.m. ET, Dow E-minis were up 303 points, or 0.67%, S&P 500 E-minis were up 9.25 points, or 0.14%, and Nasdaq 100 E-minis were down 19.25 points, or 0.08%. Focus will now be on July retail sales data, due later in the day, and the University of Michigan's report on consumer confidence, for clues on the health of the American consumer. Among other stocks, Applied Materials tumbled 14.1% after the chip equipment maker issued weak fourth-quarter forecasts on sluggish China demand, fueling concerns over tariff-related risks. Shares of other chip equipment makers such as KLA (KLAC.O), opens new tab and Lam Research (LRCX.O), opens new tab lost 5.8% and 5%, respectively. Intel (INTC.O), opens new tab rose 2.7% on the heels of a 20% gain this week after a report said the Trump administration was in talks with the struggling chipmaker for the U.S. government to potentially take a stake in the company. On the commodities front, crude prices slipped to around $65 a barrel with attention on a meeting in Alaska between U.S. President Donald Trump and his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin, that markets hope could pave the way for a resolution to the Ukraine conflict. The meeting will take place at 1900 GMT.
