I purchased some foreign currency from Sainsbury’s for a holiday which was fine, however when i tried to change back one of the notes they had given me it was refused. If it was good enough to give me surely it should be good enough for them to change back. Make sure you check your notes when you collect them! Read more Read less

Beware Had a Sainsburys lifelong, pet insurance policy for years.Only claimed once for an amount of £276.46p.The next year as a result of this small claim, Sainsburys put up my insurance premium by 120%! Put in a formal complaint asking them to justify a 120% increase and they couldn't! Next stop financial Ombudsman, that will cost them, just for looking into the matter. Now my dog is sadly uninsured with no prospect of a reasonable policy elsewhere, due to an existing condition! Sainsburys, the pirates of the insurance world! You have been warned.

    It has always been very good with fast responses and positive answers. A shame that it was 'sold' to NatWest but we shall see how they do going forward.

I walked into the store and asked to order £1600 in Euros with my nectar card. The guy told me he could give me the money now (1740 euros) but did not advise that I would have got 60euros more (for an additional £1.80) if I’d ordered online. I phoned the complaint team to be told he had no legal obligation- to notify me that the walk rate was lower than online - fine but what about ethics - 60 euros would have paid for a meal on our family holiday! Feeling really ripped off. Will never use them again Read more Read less
