It's a perpetual point of discussion as to which loyalty scheme is the best, because everybody has different requirements. The Morrisons MORE scheme is quite generous as it gives you points on every item you buy, as opposed to every £.

For the mathematically inclined...
When you have accumulated 5000 MORE points, this gives you £5 (or 500p) off at Morrisons.
Keep dividing by 10...
500 MORE points = 50p
50 MORE points = 5p
5 MORE points = 0.5p

So, given that you receive 5 MORE points for every item you purchase, this equates to a halfpenny off the price of each item. Rewind back to the 5p Christmas veggies they were selling, and you were effectively only paying 4.5p !!! B)

    Make use of the points boosters (which run for a month) & it is very easy, even when they are not your main supermarket. Seems always to be for something we use.
