C&P'd

"Your social media content where this is in the public domain, and any messages you send direct to us via social media.

You should always review the terms and conditions and privacy policies of the social media that you use to make sure you understand what kind of information relating to you may be out there in the public domain and how you can stop or limit it from happening."

Fair enough, you choose to put your information out there on Social Media, but then there's this-

C&P'd from their Privacy Policy.. they will access......

"Basic background information on you from government and other external sources. We use the Driver Vehicle Licensing Agency to trace car number plates and owners in the event of drive-offs from our stores or petrol stations. We also check the electoral roll to make sure any information we have remains reasonably accurate and, if necessary, to fill in any gaps."

"Information from banking, credit card and credit reference agencies about your financial status. We also verify any payment card you use when shopping with us to see if it’s been reported stolen, to check that we’ll be paid for any transaction, and to reduce the risk of fraud".

"Profile information and insight from organisations that already hold information on you, such as credit reference agencies and ‘customer insight companies’. They give us their views on your household, your status, as well as your possible preferences and behaviours."



I see the point about checking to see that payment cards are not stolen, but why do they want to know your financial status? :-S :-S :-S

IT'S NOT AS IF WE ARE APPLYING FOR A CREDIT CARD FROM THEM! :-|

After just 3 weeks using the new Match & More card I have reached 2240 points already (5000 points needed to get a £5 off voucher) & I have stuck to my £40 shop as usual.
When Morrisons sent me my permanent card & 2 key fob cards last week they also sent me 4 vouchers of varying points value which can be added during certain dates,the 1st one last week was for 1500 extra points.

Last weeks shopping receipt showed I "could" have purchased my shop for 34pence less had i gone elsewhere! (compariable shop check done at the checkout) & as a result I was given a further 340 points!

I also gained 180 points when hubby bought petrol.

Very happy with the new card etc, so far.

Joan.

I'm glad you are happy with the card Joan :-)

It's was just the privacy intrusion I objected to.

I decided against having the card.
I will miss my usual Christmas Shopping deal this year though.

I have worked out other ways to have a £5 off my weeks shop, through Tesco and Farm Foods etc, and if I put the £5 away each time, it should work out the same.

Thankyou for your post

Jem :-) :-)

Last week I reached the 5000 target (& some over) which qualifies me for a £5 voucher, I also gained more points when I transferred the fuel points over to my M & M card which actually took the total number of points to OVER 10,000, that's another £5 off voucher.

The £10 will be allocated to me on my next visit to the store,they do not have to be used immediately so going to save mine against my weekly shop after New Year.

Not bad going in just a short space of time ( 6 weeks ) have to admit I did have some help from Morrisons as they sent me some points vouchers when they sent me my permanent card, it might take a bit longer to reach the target next time round?

Joan.

Why is it that all the other supermarkets can match your purchases and give either an instant discount or a voucher for your next shop, yet Morrisons need you to have a card.

A CON

Personally I would rather get an accumilated £5 off voucher & use it against my weekly shop rather than get say a 50p refund here & there!

I have had 3 weeks of compariable Match Points added to my card,eg,one week my comparible shopping was £1--13 more than it would have been elsewhere because of that I received 1130 points,I'm happy with that arrangement.

The other big Supermarkets are not close enough to me to make it worth my while to shop with them, Morrisons is my only choice!
