Sainsburys sending out an email saying that to pay with nectar you now need to use the QR code barcode on the app, or the magswipe on the card.

Not directly related but I always have a dissonance when I see smartphones referred to as handsets.

The last time the word "handset" felt natural to me, the devices took full-size SIM cards ;-)
