Morrisons New Loyalty Card

[Caran]

I've just signed up for one, it looks a good offer. It compares prices at all supermarkets including Lidl and Aldi. You collect points at the rate of 10 for every penny that is cheaper. When you have collected 5000 you get £5. Looks good. If only 50p cheaper then you get 500 points. You have to spend £15 to get it.

Sounds good Caran. I don't shop there much now - prefer Aldi really but I do recommend Morrisons printer paper, excellent quality £3.50 ream.

[Caran]

We shop there as a change from Lidl. I get £5 off coupons for Morrisons by entering reward numbers from the Daily Mail so tend to save them up to about£20 then go for a shop there.

I'll have to look out for that - I shop at Morrisons for three weeks out of four these days - their money off vouchers suit me fine. Spend £40 three weeks running, get a voucher for £10 of the 4th week's shop.

When I think my weekly shop used to be at least £70 at Tesco's.....

[Mamyalynne]

Handy to have if you are near one,mine is too far away.

[boxtops]

Mine is just over the road, mamya :-)

[Mamyalynne]

I have Asda, 7 mins walk, so apart from online shops they are my local.

[Caran]

Ours is about 10 miles away in Ross on Wye. Love their produce so don't mind the travel every couple of months.

[Caran]

We have Lidl and the Co-op. Asda have been trying for the last three years to come to Cinderford. They have just been defeated yet again in the high courts by coops objection that it would harm their trade and they would possibly have to close down. Before that tesco tried for about 5 years to the same outcome.

These "bit of a distance" places need a new scheme .,.

"You will pay less"

No ... Price comparison on certain products.

No ... Blah money back if blah competitor is cheaper by whatever.

Just ... You will pay less!

I can't be arsed to p*ss around with mathematical formulae when I check out. I'm just gonna cycle to Waitrose, unless you can convince me you are better value, without me having to saw off my own leg.

[boxtops]

I guess we are really lucky in terms of choice. We are only a small town but we have a small Co-op, small ASDA, Morrisons, Iceland, Farm Foods, and Aldi - and Tesco Extra about four miles away at the top of the hill. Aldi has just expanded due to demand.

[boxtops]

Ah JJ, but do you have a Waitrose loyalty card? I do, from when I worked near a Waitorse - they are always sending me money-off vouchers and special offers.

I felt like you when I was working full time, I just used to go to Tesco, and hang the cost, I can't do that any more.

[janbee]

I saw it advertised on telly last night. I don't have a Morrisons anywhere near me but I'm told it's quite good.

[Dee Sa]

most of these offers dont consider people living alone, I could never manage to do a £40 shop four weeks running, not any more.

[Retrochic]

Morrisons have not been loyal to their customers over the years so why should they be loyal to Morrisons? Aldi and Llidl have have grown despite'snobbery' which surrounds shopping there and have given constantly good value at good prices. I stopped shopping at the big '3' a few years ago and do most of my shopping at Aldi and M&S.

[Old_Geezer]

They already had a card for their filling station.

I'm not impressed too much by cards and expected loyalty. I guess it can't hurt matching the low cost places, but I'm not going to get excited about it. Yet another darned thing to have to carry around along with the other hundred store cards.

[Old_Geezer]

Exactly Dee. They are for large families and blow everyone else.

[boxtops]

I sked this morning - our Morrisons isn't offering it yet. :-(

[boxtops]

We're not a huge family, there are two of us and three hungry cats. £40 is my usual spend these days.
