Planning your next trip abroad? Getting your travel money sorted is a crucial step, and Sainsbury’s Bank Travel Money offers a range of convenient options to make this process smooth and beneficial, especially if you are a Nectar member. Whether you prefer the ease of home delivery, the flexibility of in-store collection, or the modern approach of a travel money card, Sainsbury’s Bank has services designed to cater to your needs. Let’s explore how you can make the most of Sainsbury’s Bank Travel Money for your foreign currency exchange.
Exclusive Nectar Member Exchange Rates
One of the standout perks of choosing Sainsbury’s Bank Travel Money is the enhanced exchange rates available to Nectar members. If you’re part of the Nectar loyalty program, you can access better rates on single purchase transactions for all available foreign currencies. It’s important to note that this benefit excludes travel money card home delivery orders and online reloads. Exchange rates can fluctuate depending on whether you make your purchase in-store, online, or by phone, so it’s always worth checking the most current rates across different channels. To take advantage of the Nectar member rates, simply provide your Nectar card number at the time of your transaction. Keep in mind that there is no cash alternative to these preferential rates, and Sainsbury’s Bank retains the right to modify or withdraw this offer without prior notice.
Convenient Home Delivery of Travel Money
For ultimate convenience, Sainsbury’s Bank provides a secure home delivery service for your travel money. You can arrange for currency delivery to your doorstep via Royal Mail, choosing a delivery day that suits you. Orders placed by 1pm can be delivered as early as the next working day (Monday to Saturday) for most currencies. For next-day delivery currencies, ensure your order is confirmed before 2pm from Monday to Friday. While Royal Mail strives to deliver on schedule, please remember that delivery times are not guaranteed due to factors beyond Sainsbury’s Bank’s control, particularly for Highlands and Islands addresses, including the Channel Islands, where next day delivery isn’t guaranteed.
Delivery is complimentary 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. Delivery days are based on working days; public holidays will extend the delivery timeframe accordingly. All home delivery orders are dispatched via Royal Mail Special Delivery (unless specified otherwise) to your billing address, and a signature will be required upon receipt. A valid telephone number is necessary for home delivery orders to ensure smooth communication regarding your delivery.
Flexible Currency Collection Options
Sainsbury’s Bank also offers convenient in-store currency collection.
Same-Day Collection (Euro, USD, and Travel Money Card)
If you need your travel money quickly, same-day collection is available for Euro, US Dollars, and Travel Money Card orders. For same-day collection, ensure you place your order at least 4 hours before you plan to collect it. If your order is placed before 6 am, the earliest collection time will be 10 am. Always allow a minimum of 4 hours for your order to be processed. Before heading to the store, it’s advisable to check the bureau opening hours to align with your collection plans.
Next Day and Future Date Collection
For orders placed for collection the next day or on a future date, your currency will be ready for collection from 10 am on your chosen date.
Collection Times for Other Currencies
For all currencies other than Euro, US Dollar, and Travel Money Card, your order will be ready for collection from 2 pm on your selected collection date. Regardless of the currency, please collect your order within 72 hours to avoid cancellation.
Sainsbury’s Bank Travel Money Card
In addition to cash currency services, Sainsbury’s Bank Travel Money also offers a prepaid Travel Money Card. This card is issued by PrePay Technologies Limited under license from Mastercard International, providing a secure and convenient way to manage your travel funds abroad.
