Morrisons makes major change to loyalty scheme as shoppers can earn points 'faster'
Good news for anyone with a Morrisons More card. The supermarket has just expanded its loyalty scheme, allowing members to earn more points.
The grocer has announced this week the launch of its More Partner Points, an incentive that will see members continue to earn points when they choose to shop outside of Morrisons at over 300 participating brands.
Included in the list of popular retailers that have partnered with the supermarket on the new incentive include Very, eBay, Just Eat, Expedia, ASOS and many more.
The new digital-only feature can be accessed when customers log into the More app or website. From there, they can click their chosen partner retailer and make their purchase as normal.
Once the sale is complete, More loyalty points will then be tracked and added to their account automatically.
Since the More Partner Points poses a new way for members to earn points, even when they don't shop at Morrisons, it means that they can earn one of the supermarket's 'Fivers' faster than before.
More Fivers can be reached once a members has earned 500 points. They can be converted into vouchers to use in store or online, or customers can choose to continue adding to their points balance.
According to Morrisons, it's latest incentive for loyalty members comes in direct response to customer feedback after customers called for more ways to earn points.
The supermarket has also said that it forms part of its "ongoing investment in delivering greater value and convenience for More Card members."
Kate Lavery, Loyalty Director, Morrisons, said: "We're always looking for ways to make the Loyalty scheme even more rewarding. More Partner Points means our customers can now collect More Points on their everyday purchases beyond the weekly shop - whether they're buying clothes, gifts, or booking a holiday. It's another step towards helping customers save more, more often."

It's not the only major change to that the supermarket has launched to help out More members recently. Earlier this year, it was announced that members can earn stamps every time they spend £10 or more.
These can then be used to claim Pyrex products worth up to £30 for free. A minimum of 15 stamps is needed to get a range of the premium kitchen dishes and containers for less, while a full 50 is needed to get them free of charge.
To make the offer more lucrative, the Pyrex items are exclusive only to Morrisons. Included in the assortment of top-quality dishes are a range of containers sized between 600ml to 1600ml, making them perfect for meal prep.
The offer is available to More members until June 8, 2025, with the final date for any redemptions to be made set for June 22, 2025.
Morrisons' More scheme, which is free to join, allows members to earn five points on every product bought online and in store, alongside earning points on fuel. It also offers exclusive deals and discounts based on previous shopping history.
The new Morrisons More Partner Points is now live for members to take advantage of when shopped through the More app and website, where the full list of participating partners can be found.

Donald Trump arrives in Scotland as President greeted at Prestwick Airport
The President was to be greeted by Scottish Secretary Ian Murray as he stepped off the Air Force One flight. Donald Trump has arrived at Prestwick Airport ahead of his four-day "private" trip in Scotland. The US President was to be greeted by Scottish Secretary Ian Murray after the Air Force One flight touched down at around 8.28pm on Friday. The Republican leader will now head from the airport to spend time at his luxury Turnberry Hotel and golf resort, which is 35 miles further south. Trump is expected to meet Keir Starmer in South Ayrshire in the coming days before they then both travel to Aberdeenshire, where the President will formally open a new golf course at his Menie Estate. Murray said yesterday the UK will extend a "warm welcome" to the president, given the historic ties between the two countries. "Of course it's a warm welcome,' he said. "We would always have a warm welcome for the president of the United States. "The office of the president of the United States and the office of the Prime Minister are ones that work very, very closely together, and should do, because it's in our national interest to do so. 'We should make sure those relationships are in place because it's important for our defence, our security, our economy – especially for jobs – and it's really, really important to the finer details of the US trade deal that's been done.' Murray's comments come despite a 2019 motion in the House of Commons which he backed – along with Foreign Secretary David Lammy and Health Secretary Wes Streeting – while in opposition which accused the president of 'misogynism, racism and xenophobia'. Pressed on his support for the motion, Murray did not answer, instead focusing on the importance of the relationship between the two countries. Murray said the Scottish Secretary has a 'duty' to welcome foreign dignitaries. Speaking to reporters before he began his travel to Scotland today, the US president described his Turnberry golf course as 'the number one course in the world'. Trump said he was going to have dinner at Turnberry with Starmer and 'then we're going to go to the oil capital of Europe, which is Aberdeen'. He added: 'We're going to have a good time. I think the Prime Minister and I get along very well.' Trump will also meet with John Swinney during his time in Scotland. Asked about meeting with the First Minister, President Trump said he has a 'lot of love' for Scotland. He added: ' The Scottish leader is a good man, so I look forward to meeting him.' Trump also indicated he and Sir Keir Starmer could 'approve' the US-UK trade deal when they meet in Scotland. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

Protests are expected in parts of Scotland during the visit, with police expected to be stretched and requests for extra officers being issued to other forces in the UK. The Scottish Police Federation, which represents rank-and-file officers, said policing will be 'seriously affected'.

Thousands of supermarket customers call for self check-out change
Campaigners are calling for supermarkets to ensure self-checkouts in their stores accept cash payments. Some customers say they penalise customers who don't want to pay by card. More than 60,000 people have signed a petition calling for an end to the "discrimination" felt by opponents of self-checkouts (SCO) which don't accept cash. Self-checkout systems first appeared in UK supermarkets in the 1990s, and have been rolled out widely in the last few years so that they usually outnumber manned checkouts in most large shops. However some retailers have admitted the technology has gone too far, and have started to bring back staff at tills. Booths removed almost all self checkouts (SCOs) in late 2023, citing customer preference for staffed tills, reports WalesOnline. Elsewhere Morrisons admitted in mid‑2024 they 'went too far' with SCOs and have been reviewing and scaling down their self‑service lanes. Asda also acknowledged reaching a saturation point by mid‑2024, pledging to add more staff to manned checkouts and reduce SCO reliance. And Itsu food‑service chain announced in early 2025 they'd add more staffed tills across outlets after over‑reliance on SCOs sparked customer complaints. For its part from Spring this year Tesco began trialling dual‑mode "swivel" checkouts in some stores - tills that can be operated as either manned or self‑service - with a single staff member overseeing multiple tills when in SCO mode. This allows flexibility depending on store traffic and staffing. Now, a petition has been launched calling on all retailers to change the rules on SCOs - particularly when it comes to accepting cash. There is an online petition. Sign up for the North Wales Live newsletter sent twice daily to your inbox A statement about this campaign on reads: "We, the undersigned, are calling on UK supermarkets to stop limiting access to cash payments at self-checkouts. More and more stores are installing banks of card-only self-checkouts, with just one or two accepting cash – or none at all." They say the limiting cash payments "creates a two-tier system" and they say it unfairly penalises: Older people who rely on cash People with disabilities or mental health conditions who need to budget manually Those on Universal Credit or without full access to banking Anyone who prefers cash for budgeting, privacy, or safety The petition adds: "Cash remains legal tender. Yet supermarkets are quietly making it harder - and slower - to use. We are not against digital payments - we're against having no choice. No one should be forced into a cashless system." Petitioners are asking: That all self-checkout areas include a fair number of cash-accepting tills - not just one token machine That clear signage shows where people can pay with cash That there is a commitment from supermarkets to protect freedom of payment for all customers. The petition adds: "Money is money. Inclusion matters. Choice matters." More than 60,000 people have signed the petition and left their support. Derek wrote: 'Some people find money easier to manage when it is in cash form. Taking away the option to pay by cash discriminates against those people. We must not abandon the option, nor should we take it away in increments until card-only is the only option.' Shona added: 'I have disabilities and cash for me is easier to manage and less confusing than paying by card and checking online.' The petition comes amid fears people are getting worse service from their banks and finding it harder to access cash. John Howells, chief executive of cash access and ATM network Link said: 'It is vital that we maintain good options for people to pay in cash and for businesses to bank their cash. "We can't afford to leave cash users behind as more people go digital. That's why we're committed to the rollout of banking hubs across the UK, alongside a reliable ATM network and a widespread Post Office network.' Gareth Oakley, chief executive of Cash Access UK said: 'We know first-hand the importance of access to cash and face-to-face services." More than three-quarters of people believe it is important to have the option to pay with cash and four-fifths think all shops should accept it, a survey has found. 52% of people said they had been somewhere during the previous two months that had not accepted or had discouraged the use of cash - and 56% said this was an inconvenience to them. It found that contactless via cards was the most preferred payment method among people surveyed, with 40% choosing this option. But nearly two-thirds of people said that physical coins and banknotes gave them confidence that 'nothing would go wrong', such as a payment outage. Indeed cash remains particularly popular among people aged 55 and over, with 25% preferring cash compared with 8% of 25 to 34-year-olds, the survey indicated. Supermarkets and convenience stores are the most popular places where people have spent cash, the research indicated. Graham Mott, Link director of strategy said: 'Cash remains a critical part of the UK's payment landscape. This research shows that, while digital payments are growing, cash continues to play a vital role in financial inclusion, budgeting and consumer choice.' Earlier this month, it emerged that the Bank of England will monitor cash acceptance, following a Treasury Committee report which raised concerns about the future of coins and banknotes. In its response to the report, the Government said the Bank had committed to continuing to include an additional question on cash acceptance in its survey of consumers, after it was introduced in January. The committee has highlighted how UK businesses and organisations can choose to refuse cash with no legal duty to accommodate customers' varying needs. Its report, published earlier this year, warned that a lack of action to tackle declining cash acceptance could lead to a two-tier society with the most vulnerable bearing the cost. MPs called for improved monitoring. The committee highlighted that vulnerable groups, such as people with learning disabilities, domestic abuse victims and the elderly, could be particularly affected. Ross Borkett, banking director at the Post Office, said: 'The latest data released by Link reinforces why cash access and acceptance in the UK remains so important. The confidence cash gives to people is clear - we know our customers rely on it to ensure they can budget effectively and when digital systems go down, cash continues to offer a secure and reliable alternative to online payments. 'In June alone, 6.97 million personal cash withdrawals were made at Post Office branches totalling £921.63 million, up 8.7% from last year - a clear sign that cash continues to play an essential role in everyday life. 'As more businesses go cashless, many people risk being excluded. Post Office branches help ensure that people can access cash by acting as a secure and accessible option across the country, so no one is left behind.'

Huge Barbie sale at major supermarket that shoppers are rushing to buy for Christmas presents
TOY JOY Huge Barbie sale at major supermarket that shoppers are rushing to buy for Christmas presents Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) SHOPPERS are racing to snap up Barbie bargains after a massive half-price sale was spotted — just in time to stock up on Christmas gifts. The deal was found in Morrisons stores across the UK and includes a range of Barbie goodies for just £2.50, down from £5.

One delighted customer shared the find on Facebook, writing: 'Bargain spotted in Morrisons: half-price Barbie dolls.' The post quickly racked up comments, with excited fans tagging friends and family to spread the word. One user wrote: 'If you see any, please grab some for the bean and her friends birthday.' Another added: 'My daughters would love these.' Others praised the supermarket for offering a bit of relief during the cost-of-living crisis, saying small discounts like this make a big difference. One mum wrote: 'Honestly, this is brilliant — Barbie stuff can be so expensive, and my little girl loves it.' But while customers are praising the Barbie sale, Morrisons is facing backlash over changes to its delivery charges. From 14 July, the supermarket has introduced a £3 surcharge for home delivery orders under £40 — a jump from the previous £25 minimum spend. The fee does not apply to customers who have a delivery pass. Mattel launches the first blind Barbie doll One shopper fumed on X: 'Great. @Morrisons was the one that I relied on as someone by themself. I was doing £25 home deliveries without extra charges. "Now these are changing terms. Not everyone can/needs to spend £40 minimum.' Another added: 'Struggling to make ends meet and now I find this. Bit of a slap in the face really.' Martyn James, a consumer expert, called the move unfair: 'Introducing charges like this might seem small, but for people struggling to make ends meet, they really can have a huge impact.' He warned the change could hit older people, those with disabilities, and families working to tight budgets who rely on online shopping to manage expenses. Rival supermarket Waitrose has also changed its delivery options, introducing a paid delivery pass after a successful trial. Without it, shoppers now pay between £2 and £4 per slot. Morrisons has also raised eyebrows by putting festive treats on shelves in the middle of summer. A new Gingerbread Flavour Maltesers Reindeer has appeared in stores — and it's dividing opinion. One Facebook user posted: 'Gingerbread Flavour Malteasers Reindeer spotted online at Morrisons.' Reactions were mixed. One fan wrote: 'mmmmmmm,' while others said it was far too early for Christmas chocolate. Another added: 'Can we at least get through summer first?' Still, for families keen to spread out the cost of Christmas, early deals on toys and treats may come as a welcome surprise. I'm a Barbie expert – the 10 most valuable dolls worth up to £8,000, exact features to look for THE Barbie movie reignited a love for the famous doll - but are your old toys collecting dust in the attic worth a fortune? The film starring Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling hit theatres last year. Old Barbies can command high prices for collectors. So how do you know if you're sitting on a goldmine? 'Barbie dolls that are part of limited edition or special edition collections tend to have a high value,' doll and toy expert Simon Farnworth told The Sun. He's been collecting Barbies since the late 90s and runs Simon's Collectibles ( an online shop for adult toy and doll collectors. Simon added: 'These dolls often feature unique designs, are collaborations with celebrities, or commemorate significant events – for example, the 2019 Gold label Ziggy Stardust themed David Bowie Barbie, which originally sold for around £50, can command over £300 now.' Barbie collaborations with renowned fashion designers and brands – such as Christian Dior, Versace, or Vera Wang – are also highly sought after by collectors. 'A recent example of this is the recent collaboration between Barbie and artist Mark Ryden, released exclusively on the Barbie Creations website last year," he said. "The Pink Pop Barbie Mark Ryden x Barbie Doll has already doubled in value.' Vintage Barbie dolls – made between 1959 and 1972 – can fetch eye-watering prices. 5 Morrisons has also raised eyebrows by putting festive treats on shelves in the middle of summer Credit: ExtremeCouponingAndBargainsUK / Facebook
