Scroll down to see loyalty scheme changes at other retailers
A SUPERMARKET giant has made a huge change to its loyalty scheme and shoppers can now earn EXTRA points towards their purchases.
Morrisons shoppers can now earn More Points even when they’re not shopping at the supermarket– thanks to a brand-new perk launching this week.

From today, Morrisons More Card holders can collect points with over 300 popular brands including eBay, Just Eat, Expedia, Asos, Very, and loads more.
The Morrisons More Card already enables shoppers to bank points on selected products by scanning their More Card or app.
Once 5,000 More Points are collected, shoppers will be handed a £5 voucher – better known as a Morrisons Fiver – to redeem on their next shop in store or online.
Previously, shoppers could only get the points by buying items from the supermarket only.

However, the change now means that customers can now bag rewards on everything from takeaways and clothes to gadgets and holidays.
To get the points, customers need to sign in to the Morrisons More app or website, browse the full list of partner retailers, click through to their chosen brand and shop as usual.
As long as the purchase is made through the Morrisons site or app, the points are tracked and added automatically.
This new way to earn is digital-only, so points can only be collected on external purchases made through the app or website – not by shopping directly with the brand.

The latest shake-up comes as part of Morrisons’ push to reward loyal customers and make it quicker and easier to earn money off future shops.
It follows last year’s decision to bring back the More Points scheme, after scrapping the old My Morrisons setup which didn’t offer points on purchases.
The best loyalty schemes revealed & how to get freebies
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.”
The full list of eligible partner retailers is available in the More App or on the Morrisons website.
Supermarket loyalty schemes - which has one?
MOST UK supermarkets have loyalty schemes so customers can build up points and save money while they shop.
Here we round up what saving programmes you'll find at the big brands.
- Iceland: Unlike other stores, you don't collect points with the Iceland Bonus Card. Instead, you load it up with money and Iceland will give you £1 for every £20 you save.
- Lidl Plus: Lidl customers don't collect points when they shop, and are instead rewarded with personalised vouchers that gives them money off at the till.
- Morrisons: The My Morrisons: Make Good Things Happen replaces the More Card and rewards customers with personalised money off vouchers via the app.
- Sainsbury's: While Sainsbury's doesn't have a personal scheme, it does own the Nectar card which can also be used in Argos, eBay and other shops. You need 200 Nectar points to save up £1 to spend on your card. You need to spend at least £1 to get one Nectar point.
- Tesco: Tesco Clubcard has over 17million members in the UK alone. You use it each time you shop and build up points that can be turned into vouchers - 150 points gets you a £1.50 voucher. Here you need to spend £1 in Tesco to get one point.
- Waitrose: myWaitrose also doesn't allow you to collect points but instead you'll get access to free hot drinks, and discounts off certain brands in store.
Elsewhere, the supermarket giant recently removed two of its popular food offers - leaving customers missing their weekend discounts.
Fish Fridays and Steak Saturdays have for years given customers with More Cards 20% off fish and steak from the stores’ Market Street counters.
But the supermarket recently removed the offers as it says customers wanted value all week-long, not just certain days of the week.

Loyalty scheme changes at other retailers
Earlier this year, Tesco made a major change to its Clubcard scheme , to the delight of pizza lovers.
Customers were able to exchange their points for money off drinks and food at PizzaExpress until the end of April.
Any Clubcard points exchanged for money off at Pizza Express were worth double, so a £1.50 voucher would have saved you £3.
Sainsbury's also made a huge change to its Nectar loyalty scheme for 18 million customers.

The UK's second biggest grocery store introduced a new security feature on its loyalty card app to prevent points from being stolen.
The free scheme allows customers to earn one Nectar point for every £1 spent at Sainsbury's, both in-store and online.
How to save money on your supermarket shop
THERE are plenty of ways to save on your grocery shop.
You can look out for yellow or red stickers on products, which show when they've been reduced.
If the food is fresh, you'll have to eat it quickly or freeze it for another time.
Making a list should also save you money, as you'll be less likely to make any rash purchases when you get to the supermarket.
Going own brand can be one easy way to save hundreds of pounds a year on your food bills too.
This means ditching "finest" or "luxury" products and instead going for "own" or value" type of lines.
Plenty of supermarkets run wonky veg and fruit schemes where you can get cheap prices if they're misshapen or imperfect.
For example, Lidl runs its Waste Not scheme, offering boxes of 5kg of fruit and vegetables for just £1.50.
If you're on a low income and a parent, you may be able to get up to £442 a year in Healthy Start vouchers to use at the supermarket too.
Plus, many councils offer supermarket vouchers as part of the Household Support Fund.
