Planning your next trip abroad? Getting your travel money sorted is a crucial step, and Sainsbury’s Money Exchange offers a convenient and reliable service to exchange your currency. Whether you’re a savvy Nectar member looking for better rates or simply need to secure your foreign currency, understanding the options available at Sainsbury’s can ensure a smoother travel experience.
Sainsbury’s Bank provides various avenues for you to obtain your travel money, catering to different needs and preferences. From exclusive exchange rates for Nectar members to the convenience of home delivery and in-store collection, let’s delve into what Sainsbury’s Money Exchange has to offer.
Exclusive Exchange Rates for Nectar Members
One of the standout benefits of using Sainsbury’s Money Exchange is the enhanced exchange rates available to Nectar members. If you’re part of the Nectar loyalty program, you can access preferential rates on single purchase transactions for all available foreign currencies. This valuable perk can make your travel budget go further, giving you more spending power at your destination.
It’s important to remember that these improved rates apply to single purchase transactions and exclude travel money card home delivery orders and online reloads. To take advantage of the Nectar member rates, ensure you provide your Nectar card number at the time of your transaction. Keep in mind that exchange rates can fluctuate and may differ depending on whether you make your purchase in-store, online, or by phone. Also, note that there is no cash alternative to this offer, and Sainsbury’s Bank retains the right to modify or withdraw this offer without prior notice.
Convenient Ways to Get Your Travel Money
Sainsbury’s Money Exchange provides flexible options to obtain your foreign currency, ensuring you can access your travel money in a way that suits your travel plans.
Secure Home Delivery
For ultimate convenience, you can order your currency online for secure home delivery. Sainsbury’s Money Exchange partners with Royal Mail to deliver your travel money to your doorstep. If you need your currency quickly, you can place your order by 1 pm and receive it as soon as the next working day via Royal Mail Special Delivery (Monday to Saturday). For next day delivery, ensure your order is confirmed before 2 pm (Monday to Friday) for currencies eligible for this service.
While Royal Mail strives to meet delivery schedules, please be aware that unforeseen circumstances can sometimes cause delays, which are beyond Sainsbury’s control. 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 assumes the order day and delivery day are working days. Public holidays will extend the delivery timeframe accordingly. All home delivery orders are dispatched via Royal Mail Special Delivery (unless otherwise specified) to your billing address, and a signature will be required upon delivery. A valid telephone number is mandatory for home delivery orders to ensure smooth communication regarding your delivery.
In-Store Collection
If you prefer to collect your currency in person, Sainsbury’s Money Exchange also offers a convenient in-store collection service. This option allows you to order your currency online and pick it up from a participating Sainsbury’s store at your convenience.
For Euro, US Dollar, and Travel Money Card orders:
If you opt for same-day collection and place your order after 6 am, your order will be ready for collection 4 hours after you receive your initial order confirmation email. Orders placed before 6 am will be available for collection from 10 am on the same day. Remember to allow at least 4 hours for your order to be processed. Before heading to the store, it’s always advisable to check the bureau opening hours to ensure they are open when you plan to collect your currency.
For collection on the next day or a future date, your order will be ready from 10 am on your chosen collection date.
For all other currencies:
Orders for currencies other than Euro, US Dollar, and Travel Money Card will be available for collection from 2 pm on your selected collection date.
It’s important to collect your order within 72 hours of the scheduled collection time to avoid cancellation.
Sainsbury’s Bank Travel Money Card
In addition to cash exchange, Sainsbury’s Bank also offers a Travel Money Card. This prepaid Mastercard can be a convenient alternative to carrying cash, allowing you to load and spend in foreign currencies. The Sainsbury’s Bank Travel Money Card is issued by PrePay Technologies Limited under license from Mastercard International. PrePay Technologies Limited is authorized by the Financial Conduct Authority for issuing electronic money and payment instruments.
