What is the card floor limit for Sainsburys?

[SaraD91]

Hi all, I’m sorry to be posting this.
It’s a week before payday, and I’m struggling. I’m technically in my unarranged overdraft where I’m in minus money but can try and spend up to £50 before things start declining.

According to my bank, this is known as the floor limit - they’ve also said there’s a chance they can still decline random transactions.

I ask, does anybody know if Sainsburys have a floor limit and if so, what is it? I would have about £30 of this floor limit/overdraft to use. I’ve got food and transport I need to pay for, I would never dream of posting this usually. Thanks for any help. ❤️

Phone the bank and ask for an authorised overdraft? Or get a credit card?

Shes not necessarily a "vulnerable customer" just because she's entered her unauthorised overdraft once.

Is there a local foodbank that you could access tomorrow?

In answer to your question op, I've had a card from an account that had insufficient funds declined in Sainsbury's for a purchase under a fiver, so unfortunately I can confirm there is no longer a floor limit.

@saltnvini if she is struggling to have enough money for food she is! 🙄

Can your partner help?

I have been thinking of you @SaraD91 and hope things got easier.
