Planning your next getaway? One of the essential things to sort out is your travel money. Sainsbury’s Bank offers a convenient and reliable service for exchanging your currency, and if you’re a Nectar member, you can benefit even further with improved exchange rates on single transactions for all available foreign currencies. Whether you prefer to pick up your travel money in-store or have it delivered securely to your home, Sainsbury’s Travel Money provides flexible options to suit your needs. Let’s explore how you can make the most of Sainsbury’s Travel Money for your next trip.
Unlock Better Rates with Your Nectar Card
Sainsbury’s values its loyal customers, and Nectar cardholders are rewarded with preferential exchange rates on their travel money purchases. If you’re a member of the Nectar loyalty program, you can access better rates than non-members on single purchase transactions of all the foreign currencies Sainsbury’s offers. To take advantage of this benefit, simply ensure you provide your Nectar card number when you make your transaction. It’s important to note that this enhanced rate is not applicable to Travel Money Card home delivery orders or online reloads. Exchange rates can also fluctuate depending on whether you make your purchase in-store, online, or by phone, so it’s always worth checking the latest rates before you buy. Keep in mind that this offer is subject to change or cancellation without prior notice, and there is no cash alternative available.
Convenient Home Delivery for Your Travel Money
For ultimate convenience, Sainsbury’s Travel Money offers a secure home delivery service. You can order your currency online and have it delivered to your billing address via Royal Mail. For orders of currencies that qualify for next-day delivery, ensure you confirm your order before 2 pm (Monday to Friday). While Royal Mail strives to deliver on schedule, delivery times cannot be guaranteed as it’s outside of Sainsbury’s control. It’s also worth noting that next-day delivery is not guaranteed for the Highlands and Islands, including the Channel Islands. Delivery is free for all cash orders of £400 or more. For orders between £100 and £399.99, a delivery charge of £4.99 applies. The minimum order value for home delivery is £100. The quoted delivery day is based on working days; public holidays will add extra days to the delivery timeframe. All home delivery orders are dispatched via Royal Mail Special Delivery (unless you are otherwise advised) and require a signature upon delivery to ensure security. A valid telephone number is mandatory for home delivery orders to facilitate smooth delivery.
Pick Up Your Currency In-Store at Your Convenience
If home delivery isn’t your preference, or you need your currency sooner, Sainsbury’s Travel Money also offers a convenient in-store collection service.
Same-Day Collection (Euro, US Dollar, and Travel Money Card)
For Euro, US Dollar, and Travel Money Card orders, same-day collection is available. If you place your order before 6 am, your currency will be ready for collection from 10 am on the same day. For orders placed after 6 am, your order will be ready to collect 4 hours after you receive your initial order confirmation email. It’s crucial to allow at least 4 hours for your order to be processed. Before heading to the store, remember to check the bureau opening hours to ensure they are open when you plan to collect.
Collection for Other Currencies
For all other currencies besides Euro, US Dollar, and Travel Money Card, your order will be available for collection from 2 pm on your chosen collection date. Regardless of the currency, your order should be collected within 72 hours of the ready for collection time, otherwise, it may be subject to cancellation.
Sainsbury’s Travel Money Card
In addition to cash currency exchange, Sainsbury’s Bank also offers the Sainsbury’s Travel Money Card. This prepaid card can be a convenient and secure way to manage your travel funds. The Sainsbury’s Bank Travel Money Card is issued by PrePay Technologies Limited under license by Mastercard International. PrePay Technologies Limited is authorized by the Financial Conduct Authority for the issuance of electronic money and payment instruments. Mastercard is a registered trademark of Mastercard International Incorporated.
