The Taste the Difference challenge is a three-week Nectar app promotion beginning 29 April 2026. Targeted digital customers must opt-in via the app to complete four personalized tasks. You earn 200 bonus points for each task finished by purchasing qualifying premium products. Alcohol is strictly excluded and app version 11.6.0 is required.

Running from 29 April to 19 May 2026, the Healthy Choices challenge rewards digital Nectar customers for buying healthy choice products. After opting in via the app, users must complete four personalised tasks to earn 150 Nectar points per milestone or 600 bonus points total. Progress is tracked automatically through version 11.6.0, with points awarded instantly upon each qualifying transaction.

To participate, open your Nectar app and locate the specific Taste the Difference or Healthy Choices challenge pods on your homepage. You must click ‘Join Challenge’ to opt in before your purchases will count toward your personalised tasks. Once joined, simply scan your Nectar card at checkout or shop via your linked Sainsbury's Groceries Online (GOL) account.

There is no minimum transaction spend required to qualify for either the Taste the Difference or Healthy Choices challenges. You only need to purchase the specific number of qualifying products required by your personalised shopping tasks. You can view your current targets and required product counts directly within your Nectar app dashboard.

First, ensure you clicked ‘Join Challenge’ before making the purchase. Progress usually updates instantly for in-store shops but takes longer for online orders. Also, check that the specific items you bought meet the challenge criteria. For example, certain items may not yet meet the "healthy logo" requirements for that challenge.
