    Hiya Everyone :-)

    I did this offer last year and found it a real life saver for extra treats, i did go out of my way a bit and yep i did roughly spend about £40 extra but....Morrisons buy 1 get 2 free offers were brill and just generally i stocked up on loads for the extra money....it worked well and i was happy when customer service told me they were doing it this year until.....

    I read the t&c's :(:(:( last year you purchased £40 over 4 out of 6 weeks.....this year it is £40 5 out of 6 weeks :(:(:( i am defo not doing it as last year i had free bus fare card thingy and this year i don't so to go up by bus and get picked up by hubby after his work will roughly cost £15(for the 5 weeks) then add the extra i would spend which is gonna be an extra £40 for the extra week(5th week) and it is such a con!!!

    Perhaps if Morrisons said ok spend £200 at once or in chunks as long as by 5 weeks you spent £200 you can have it, but then they wouldn't get us lot who don't normally spend £40 all in one place every week to fork out the extra in their store!!!

    Thank you very much Morrisons for ruining a good thing by being greedy...... please put it back to 4 weeks

    Oh yes and a measly £5 of a shop at new years blimey that would barley cover my bus fares or petrol lol:( and bribery for hubby coming with me lol.

    It was 5 out of 6 weeks last year too! And Morrisons are hardly being greedy - Two years ago the voucher was £20, Last year it was £25 and this year its gone up yet another fiver to £30! Don't see any other supermarkets giving £30 away for shopping there - If you spent the same amount of money in Tesco you would only get £4.00 in Clubcard vouchers!

    anyways I dont understand why people dont just go to netto

    The reason I don't go to netto is my nearest one is over 36 miles away. It would take several bus journeys and a small fortune to get there and back!

    With less than 200 stores in the UK, most people can't actually shop there.

    its funny that, I go to farmfoods also... but the bad news is that netto is being taken over by asda. However the cheapest place for meat is (when on offer) morrisons. tescos cheap for own brand mince.

    It was 5 out of 6 weeks last year too! And Morrisons are hardly being greedy - Two years ago the voucher was £20, Last year it was £25 and this year its gone up yet another fiver to £30! Don't see any other supermarkets giving £30 away for shopping there - If you spent the same amount of money in Tesco you would only get £4.00 in Clubcard vouchers!

    Actually last year I received a booklet of Tesco vouchers..a mixture of £3 & £4 off a £30 shop. I didn't have to spend as much, I didnt need to accumulate a total & received a higher percentage discount than the Morrisons offer, oh & yes, clubcard vouchers too...all without having an outlay of £240 to qualify for the voucher.
    The daft thing is, I'd already started with the Morrison's offer, but after the first couple of weeks I really struggled to spend the £40 in one shop. I ended up throwing a lot out too..apples & tomatoes I bought had turned black within two days of purchase for starters.

    Yes, a good bonus if you use Morrisons all the time & can spend that amount in one shop every week, but not for everyone.

    Exactly.

  • I got a small hand blender at Morrisons as part of my £40+ shop. It has a guarantee that involves keeping the receipt. When I hand in the collecter card - does this mean they keep my receipts and I loose the proof of guarantee? I suppose there will be lots of people in the same situation. I have looked on the collector card T&C and there's no info there.
    Anyone know the answer?

    You don't actually need a receipt for the guarantee, you just need proof of purchase, so a photocopy of the receipt should be enough. It will still have the same info on it, and they can check their records from the numbers on the receipt.
  • If you actually shop at Morrisons then this is not a bad deal at all, something for nothing if you are already spending £40+ per week anyhow so really you cannot grumble, however I dont think it is quite the "golden deal" Morrisons would like to have us believe it is.

    SO far as Tesco you spend £200 at Tesco you get 400 clubcard points BIG WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO a whole £4 thanks Tesco :) Even with a 4quid off 30 spend voucher and using the club card points for rewards it only amounts to £16 now the rewards are to be X3 instead of X4 so yes so far for me anyhow this Morrisons deal is better than anything Tesco have offered so far............................................

    The main thing I dislike about this Morrisons deal is even when you have the voucher you have to spend another 40 quid to be able to use it and then the £5 new year one you have to spend another 30 quid to be able to use that I think this is a bit sneaky personally but then Morrisons can be a sneaky company at time as can Tesco and the rest of them, they dont actually give you anything not really!! So all in all they are giving you 25 quid back for a minimum £270 spend or £245 after the vouchers have been taken off ;)

    As sad though we shop there and at Tesco every week so in essence it really is something for nothing as they would have my 40 quid a week anyhow.
