Morrisons offer free air to drivers, but you need to ask for it

hello all,

I filled up a tank of petrol in Morrions today, spent £43.00 which displeased me.

After leaving the pump, I used the air machine to pump up my tyres. The charge was 20p per two minutes. I had no idea how much minutes I would need to top up all four tyres. A member of staff walked past, and I asked how much money i would need to top up the machine.

The member of staff asked if I had filled up with petrol, and I told him yes.

The assistant then told me I qualified for a "free"air top up. I was told to return to the cashier in the petrol shop and ask for a code slip to use the air machine. I got my code slip and punched my code in the machine, and was provided with air for free.

There was no sign displayed of this offer. I cant remember how much time I was provided, but i will start asking for this code more often :)

There is also a vac machine at Morrisons, anyone know if the petrol station offers free vacuming time as well?

If this is a good tip remember to click the thank button!!

  • My foot pump gives me free air. And a free leg work out too.
  • My car came with free air but I opened the door and it escaped :(
  • Similar at my local Morrisons; I asked when paying for petrol if I needed a token or coin (like the Queen, I don't carry cash!) for the airline, and was handed a coded slip.

    I'd still rather use the foot-pump at home, but it was a nice (small) surprise. :)
