Jennifer spends £49 a week in Sainsbury's on shopping for the family and swipes her Nectar card every time she shops. When she pays with her Sainsbury's Nectar Credit Card, she doubles her points every week. That means she can earn enough points to get a week's free shopping once a year for 2 years. Now that's rewarding!^
