When you think about store reward cards pretty much everyone does one, from toy shops to hardware stores and pharmacies to pubs you cannot walk in somewhere and not be offered a little plastic card to add to your collection.
I have pretty much every card laying around the house somewhere, if it’s not in my wallet. However, one was missing, until now!
Morrisons have now launched their very own loyalty card. The Match & More card is having a small roll out in 11 stores and the card will be available in all stores in the run up to Christmas.
Rather than just a card to collect points, the card has two uses:
Match
Do a shop for £15 or more with a comparable item in your basket and Morrisons will run a comparison to see if they work out the cheapest.
They compare your shop to not just the big retailers; Asda, Sainsburys and Tesco, but to the prices in Aldi and Lidl as well!
If you could have bought your shop cheaper elsewhere you’ll be given points on your card there and then. For instance, if your shop would have been 1p cheaper you’ll get 10 points or if it was £1 cheaper then 1,000 points will be added to your Match & More card!
Instead of the other supermarkets, where you have to collect vouchers, or log on to a website after your shop, this system will give you the points straight onto your card so you won’t have an option to forget them.
The price match covers branded and unbranded products as well as items that have already been discounted or on promotion at the other supermarkets!
They’ve even thought about retailers selling products at different sizes and have promised to do a comparison for items that are up to 20% different in size.
& More
When doing your shop, you can collect bonus points on hundreds of products across Morrisons too – both in store and online. The points will be automatically added to your card after you shop.
If you buy your fuel from Morrisons, you can also earn 10 points on every litre of fuel you buy too.
Redeem Match & More Points
Quite simply, when you reach 5,000 points you’ll be able to redeem a £5 voucher at the till (or choose to have an online voucher instead) and you’ll have 52 weeks before the voucher expires.
So, will you be adding this reward card to your collection?

Great idea but…
I just can’t BELIEVE how long it has taken Morrisons to jump on this bandwagon of store cards.
They dragged their heels with online delivery and have done the same with these cards having taken until 2014 before they produce one. It’s a good idea and I think it will work well. I do our weekly shop online with Tesco, mainly because of things like the petrol money off and then the vouchers we turn into other things like meals or days out.
Morrisons don’t seem to be offering any of that in the way Tesco/Sainsburys do so it will be interesting to see if the incentive they offer is enough to entice people.
We only go into Morrisons for bits and bobs and as we live in Leeds there are a LOT of them around so we do do it quite a few times throughout a week but we are talking the essentials here which I’m not sure would earn me many of these points.
I will give it a go though if it comes to our store (which I couldn’t find a list of on the website btw)

The Money Shed
I tried it out this week and managed to collect quite a few points on a shop which was cheaper than my normal shop anyway so was quite impressed.
I opted to save my vouchers rather than have them every 5000 point – now i would like to redeem them but can’t log onto the match n more site to do this – really frustrating!!!!
I’ve only just discovered this blog – I think it is brilliant, many thanks. I’m slowly trawling my way through it all.
Just wanted to say I have a Match and More and it is saving me a fortune. I love that it compared with Aldi and Lidl as well as the other shops and I also love that I can save up the money until I have enough to do a free weekly shop.
