Maximise your Avios, air miles and hotel points
In January 2021, Avios dropped its long-standing partnership with Tesco and agreed a new deal with Sainsbury’s.
As part of this, Nectar points and Avios became interchangeable. 400 Nectar points become 250 Avios, whilst 400 Avios become 400 Nectar points.
As a Nectar point is worth 0.5p when spent in Sainsbury’s or Argos, your Avios now have a minimum value of 0.5p each.
The articles below explain the partnership in detail as well as explaining how you can earn and spend Nectar points.
