What is The Great Easter Points Hunt, when does it run, and who can join?
The Great Easter Points Hunt is a fun, four-week Nectar challenge from Sainsbury's.
The Challenge: Complete four small, achievable shopping tasks, one per week, to earn bonus Nectar points, just in time for the Easter holidays.
Dates: The hunt runs for four full weeks, beginning on March 2nd and concluding on March 29th. Members will receive an email with more information on the Hunt on 2nd March 2026 (Monday).
Eligibility: To participate, you must:
- Be a UK resident.
- Have an active Sainsbury's account.
- Have an active Nectar account.
- Have signed up for The Great Easter Points Hunt via the official app.
Weekly Targets: Complete your weekly targets to earn Nectar points
Task Completion Rules:
●You cannot complete all four tasks in one week; each task is locked to its specific week.
●If you spend more than your weekly target, you will still earn your standard Nectar points on the extra spend. However, the bonus points for the Hunt are capped at one task completion per week. Any extra spend will not "roll over" to the next week’s task. Each week is a new opportunity to earn.
Bonus Points:
●Most members will earn 200 Nectar points for each successfully completed weekly task.
●If you complete all four tasks, you will earn a total of 800 bonus points.
Spending Your Points: The bonus points won in the hunt can be used exactly like your normal Nectar points. You can:
●Save them up for a big event.
●Use them to knock a few pounds off your Easter Sunday roast at Sainsbury’s.
●Spend them with any of Nectar's many partners.
