Sainsbury’s is making a huge change to its Nectar loyalty scheme for 18million customers so points can’t be stolen SAINSBURY'S is making a huge change to its Nectar loyalty scheme for 18million customers.
A Nectar spokesperson told The Sun: "We’ve recently introduced a new spend lock feature to add an extra layer of security to our customer accounts, allowing customers to lock their points until they’re ready to spend them.
But it means customers will not be able to use any of their points to get money off their shopping or any other deals until the cardholder unlocks the points in the app.
A small number of customers may have had points stolen - but Tesco said that these would be returned and new vouchers would be issued.
The UK's second biggest grocery store has introduced a new security feature on its loyalty card app to prevent points from being stolen.
