Sainsbury's: now reloadable!

May 14, 2025

Stock up & save - the power of reloadable

The three Biggest UK Supermarkets are now offering ‘reloadable’ gift cards via Cheddar - simply top-up, and use one code to pay in-store or online, every time.

Say goodbye to juggling multiple gift cards - and hello to simpler, smarter spending. Following the successful launch of reloadable Tesco & Asda gift cards, Sainsbury’s is now the latest major supermarket to join the lineup — unlocking an even easier way to shop, pay, and save on your everyday purchases.

Why You'll love reloadable Sainsbury’s gift cards

✅ Top up the same card, over and over

Just got paid? Heading to the shops later? Reload your existing Sainsbury’s gift card in Cheddar, whenever suits you.

✅ Add to your Apple/Google wallet

Once added, use the same barcode every time — just scan at the till like you would a debit card.

✅ One-tap balance checks

Check your gift card’s balance in Cheddar, with one tap. Note: Sainsbury’s systems refreshes balances only three times a day - so if you've just topped-up or used it in-store, allow some time for it to reflect your updated total.
