Sainsbury’s Nectar Lets Members Spend Points on Merlin Attractions With Double-Value Launch Offer

The tie-up doubles the usual value of Nectar points for Merlin tickets, creating a strong summer redemption option.

Overview

  • Nectar and Merlin Entertainments launched a partnership that lets members use points to buy tickets at more than 20 UK attractions including Alton Towers, Thorpe Park, LEGOLAND Windsor and SEA LIFE.
  • The introductory offer gives £10 off Merlin ticket prices for every £5 worth of Nectar points, which effectively values points at 1p each instead of the usual 0.5p.
  • The promotion ends on 14 September 2026 or once 100,000 Merlin products have been purchased with points, whichever comes first.
  • Members redeem through the Nectar app’s Merlin page, choose how many points to apply at checkout, and receive their tickets by email.
  • Redemptions exclude in-attraction spending, most hotel bookings, gift cards and fast-track add-ons, while annual passes are eligible and transfers from Avios or AmEx Membership Rewards to Nectar could boost balances.
