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. The rate is the same in both directions – 400 Nectar points become 250 Avios, and 250 Avios become 400 Nectar points.
