i'd seen it and didn't realise what it was - i thought it was the 'buy & eat lots of fruit and veg game' that they'd been pushing before. we do that anyway, as it happens.

like a lot of families, we've acquired more loyalty scheme memberships than we can count. focusing does seem to be a good idea as it can lead to points balances that are more substantial/useful.

I didn't get the "Juicy Points Boost" last week. Tried updating app, deleting and reinstalling. Still nothing when I updated my weekly offers yesterday.

But today it was there, 500 points awarded.

for me it has appeared again saying 'tap to open' or something like that, but it disappears.

According to Rob at Head for Points, the avios bonuses have landed. Not checked mine.
The double points at Sainsbury that were also part of the promotion run until 19 April and will be added after that.

On a related, if you choose the right card option, there are 10,000 nectar (=£50) if you sign up for the Sainsburys MasterCard and have total spend £400 at Sainsbury or Argos in first 8 weeks.

Yep, looks like my 500 bonus Avios were credited yesterday.

That credit card can be found here:
https://www.sainsburysbank.co.uk/credit ... tar-reward

Think I've considered this offer before; in practice I'd need to buy £400 of instore gift cards for it to work for me. That's quite a lot and would also forgo the min 5% discount that I usually receive on Sainsbury's shopping, so this reduces the max benefit to just £30.

i was going to ask the same question.. that's a benefit not to miss out on, assuming Sainsbury's is convenient enough and offers decent value.

i've looked at the various Nectar-generating credit cards too. i've consistently stuck with Amex Cashback.

have you folks moved your Avios back to Nectar? i think i'll just keep them all in Nectar. i don't think i'm generating Avios from anywhere nowadays, although i have a BA Executive Club card from way back.
