Best supermarket loyalty cards

Using a loyalty card is one of my favourite ways to save money at the supermarket. It’s so easy to stack up points on your weekly shop! Here are the best ones…

Sainsbury’s Nectar card

Nectar is one of my favourite loyalty schemes! There are loads more brands you can collect points from (eBay, ASOS, Topshop etc.) but Sainsbury’s is the most popular way to bag points.

You can earn one point for every £1 you spend at Sainsbury’s and you can also collect 1 point per litre at their petrol stations. Once you hit 500 points, you get £2.50 off in-store or with a range of partners.

Check out the list on their website for more information.

Ways to earn extra Nectar card points:

Get free points by answering surveys on Nectar Canvass
Look out for special promotions on the Nectar website and in your emails where you can earn major bonus points – up to 10,000!
Download the app to check new offers daily

Tesco Clubcard

Another popular supermarket loyalty card scheme is Tesco Clubcard. You’ll get one point per £1 for spending in-store and one point per £2 spent on fuel. Every point you earn is worth a penny if you’re going to spend them in Tesco.

They also have loads of partners where your points are worth up to three times the amount! E.g. turn every 50p into £1.50 spend off restaurants like Zizzi and Pizza Express.

You’ll get vouchers in the post based on the number of points you’ve collected every three months. If you’re in a hurry to cash in, you can also use the Clubcard app and website to claim your vouchers within 24 hours.

How to earn extra Clubcard points:

Collect points on your Tesco Mobile phone bill (one point per £1)
Pick up extra Clubcard points on your Tesco Bank Credit Card (one point for every £4 in Tesco, one point per £8 spend elsewhere)
Open a current account and earn an extra point for every £1 spent in-store or on fuel using your debit card (one point per £8 in other stores)

myWaitrose loyalty card

myWaitrose works slightly differently to other supermarket loyalty schemes. You don’t collect points as such, but there are other perks and benefits.

My favourite one and a popular bonus for most shoppers is the free hot drink you get each time you visit a store and buy something. Remember, you’ll need to bring your own reusable cup!

You can also get a free newspaper whenever you spend £10 in-store or £60 online. You can also enjoy little wins including 20% off fish from the counter on Fridays. There are also money-off events and exclusive competitions for anyone who signs up.

Also, don’t forget to scan your card every time you shop to receive regular coupons and discounts in the post.

Morrisons More loyalty card

Morrisons More now comes in the form of a shiny new app, as well as the traditional card option. You get a generous 5 points for every £1 spent, plus 5 points per litre on fuel. Once you’ve earned 5,000 points, you’ll receive a £5 More voucher.

This is where their new app comes in handy! You can store your vouchers and points on your phone, scan the app at the till, and access handy tools such as the store and petrol station finder, new recipes, and your current points balance.

How to earn extra Morrisons More points:

Scan your app or card regularly to receive personalised offers for members
Enjoy exclusive promotions, where you can earn extra points on certain items

Co-op Membership loyalty card

Join Co-op Membership for just £1 and earn back 5% of your total spend when you buy selected products in-store. Spend your cashback on your favourite items or essentials on your next visit (excluding Co-op own brand and things like fuel, stamps, cigarettes, etc.)

You’ll also get exclusive offers and discounts on Co-op services like insurance and legal products, plus you might also be eligible for a share of their profits if they’re doing well.

With a Membership card, 1% of what you spend will also be donated to local causes within your community – you can even choose which one!

Iceland Bonus Card

The Iceland Bonus Card is actually more like a savings card. You pick up one in-store and sign up online and then every time you shop, you can tuck away some money and ask the cashier to top it up. For every £20 you spend, they’ll give you £1 on top. Pretty good right??

If you’re planning for Christmas or a special occasion, just putting away £2 a week could save you a whopping £109!

On top of this, you’ll get exclusive bonuses and offers throughout the year, plus free delivery when you shop in-store AND online. Sign me up!

Lidl Plus

Download the Lidl Plus app and sign up for free to bag yourself loads of bargains! So far, I’ve seen £5-off a £25 shop, a free doughnut, and 15% of frozen veggies. Don’t miss out if you’re a regular shopper here…

M&S Sparks Card

Now this one isn’t technically just a food loyalty card, but I think you can get the most out of your M&S Sparks Card in their food halls. Earn 10 points per every £1 spent in-store and get personalised treats and rewards.

These include things like a free coffee and an extra free side when you take advantage of their popular dine-in deals. Plus loads more!

Earn extra Sparks points:

Write a review to earn an extra 25 points
Shwop and donate your clothes to charity to gain 50 points
Pick up a lovely birthday surprise treat

Best beauty loyalty cards

Moving onto beauty now… I can’t tell you how much money I’ve saved by having my beauty loyalty cards handy when topping up my makeup bag. Here are my favourites…

Boots Advantage card

Boots Advantage card is probably the most popular in the beauty category. You can earn 4 points per £1 and every point is worth 1p when you spend your points in-store or online.

Just a head’s up, you can’t use your points as part payment. E.g. – if your foundation is £8 and you have 800 points, you’ll get the foundation for free. If it’s £8.50, you can’t just add a 50p payment, you need enough points to cover the whole cost.

How to earn extra Boots points:

Mega points weekends where you can earn big points e.g. 1,000 points on £50 spends
Check the app and in your inbox for special and personalised offers
Pick up the Boots magazine for free in-store and check out exclusive coupons and discounts
Students get a 10% discount

Superdrug Health & Beauty card

Save cash on all your beauty favourites with a Superdrug Health & Beauty card. There are loads of benefits, including Treat Thursday and a birthday surprise! Plus, unlike the Boots card, you can pay using a mix of points and cash.

You’ll earn 1 point for every £1 you spend, and they also have bonus point offers on selected products, where you can earn even more.

You can spend your points per every 100 points you earn:

100 points = £1
200 points = £2
300 points = £3 – you get the idea!
