Money Saving Expert Martin Lewis has shared a handy trick which could save you up to £180 when shopping at Sainsbury’s
The cash-saving guru shared his trick with viewers of The Martin Lewis Money Show this week, dedicating a section of the show to Sainsbury’s Nectar points.
Speaking about the Nectar app, Mr Lewis revealed the app is currently offering 2,000 free points which would result in £10 off your next shop at the supermarket.
"Log into the Nectar app. Make sure it is the updated one or this won't work,” he said.
"Press juicy points boost, it is dead easy to do and you will get between 100 and 2,000 Nectar points totally for free.
"It's worth 50p to £10.
"I got the team to do it," he continued, saying one made more than £10.
He added: "It is free points for nothing."
But that’s not all, Martin Lewis explained how you could save £184 in total.
Speaking on the ITV show, he said: "This is how to get serious shopping at Sainsbury's. It is about the American Express Rewards Gold Credit Card.
"If you are accepted for that and you spend £3,000 on it in three months, you get 23,000 Amex rewards points.
"I would only do this if your normal spending each month is over £1,000 a month. If not, don't bother.
"You can redeem those with £100 vouchers at Amazon, M&S and more - but I have a trick.
"It is called swapsies. The first thing you do is convert 23,000 Amex points into 23,000 Avois points.
"Then, because you can convert Avios into Nectar points, you convert that into 36,000 Nectar points.
"You can then spend them at Nectar partners, including Sainsbury's, where it is worth £184."
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
