Just to set some things straight, oaps in this country have a very decent standard of living. Any oap who does not go into their senior years with bad habits and multiple debts has a perfectly reasonable standard of life. They have a minimum income called guaranteed pension credits. That, along with housing benefit , council tax benefit, Attendance allowance and winter fuel allowance means that without vices, they should be able to live comfortably without the need for 10% off in Morrison's. It seems you have forgotten the hard working students (many who have families themselves) who have racked up thousands in debt to try to better themselves to try to contribute more to society too pay the pensions, benefits etc of the other parts of society who need it.
Your argument is not only poorly informed, its rather insulting to large proportions of the people you feel you are arguing for.

​If they did, you'd have a dig at them probably....

Think just about everyone who uses this site is a student so hot from me, probably won't last once they clock the majority of 'students' using the offer are over 40!

To pensioner's what?

Think just about everyone who uses this site is a student so hot from me, probably won't last once they clock the majority of 'students' using the offer are over 40!

i am guessing being an open uni student this would also apply. would also guess needing an NUS card would be needd as well? never applied for one if im honest but regularly use co op and morrisons

You don't need an NUS card for UNiDAYS. You just download the app which can then be used for in store purchases.

If it's a UNiDAYS offer, why would you need an NUS card? It's a separate student platform..

You will just have to show your UNiDAYS app on your mobile.

Have a unidays account for online purchase. Purchased a £10 vodafone pay-as-you-go sim. Got a nus card too for in store purchase.
Thanks op

this still wont stop them shoplifting

So what sort of course do you need to sign up to to get the unidays app? :wink:

do morrisons give 10% off to pensioner's or to people that cant afford to feed their family even tho they have full time jobs

You don't need a ac.UK email as I was able to use my high school email for sign up a few months ago BTW also 10 percent of at Morison's assume it is all the food? Thanks OP :sunglasses:

how wrong could you be, i'd rather see old people and familys getting 10% off, oap's that have worked all their days, paid all their taxes and still cant feed themselves properly, and parents that work full time plus overtime and still cant feed the whole family, so maybe you should think first before you try and be smart, because all your doing is making an idiot of yourself

We are all students.... for learning is life long :wink:

Guess you're not a student then.

just a heads up the discount will most certainly not include alcohol. I worked there a couple of years ago and they stopped staff discount on alcohol because of the introduction of minimum prices of alcohol.

Heat added though hope they keep up some of the sales theyve been offering

this is the final straw. discounts everywhere for students.
changing my name tomorrow by deed poll to Stewart Dent. easier than 5 years at uni.

Guess you're not a student then.[/quot

Why shouldn't students get the discount? Do you realise how little money they have left after forking out accommodation costs.

Excellent deal, students are already being shafted by people who have benefitted from free education.

Good on Morrisons, strategic move.

I hope the discount also applies to NUS card holders as well as just via Unidays.

It doesn't. Unidays ID not an NUS card. If you show your NUS card you won't get anything

big green houses

Your argument is not only poorly informed, its rather insulting to large proportions of the people you feel you are arguing for.

We study full time, if you're doing a demanding course like mine (electromechanical engineering) we don't have time to work on the side more than maybe a Saturday job. If I lived purely on my student loan I'd have around £40 a month once my accomdation is paid for, and I'm looking at graduating with ~£55k of debt after all that. Assuming I get a reasonably good engineering grad job (£45k) I'll be paying back £3000 a year until the loan gets written off when I'm 50 or whatever, which due to the interest the loan accrues I'll never manage to finish paying off. Money which could go towards a deposit on a house etc will instead be going towards a loan which had its terms changed after we had taken it out, alongside the fees being increased this year half way through our degrees.

So yea, 10% less on shopping will be nice. I feel very sorry for the OAPs who can't afford to heat their houses but students also have problems to deal with.

yeah, you tell 'em! bloody students, it's all their fault...

economy, ISIS, immigration.. can all be directly attributed to the student population

I'm not so sure it is that good for Morrison's longer term. When people leave university and move on, they probably won't feel much loyalty. Many people go to a supermarket out of convenience rather than brand.

For regular customers, they need to watch pricing to see if they start to go up by a percent or so. When one group get something for free or discounted, others are paying for it somehow.

​as someone with a degree in electronics and a PhD in semiconductor physics, I have to tell you that 45k is not realistic,perhaps when you have 10-15 years experience

As a full time student, I can only get decent work during the holidays. Of course I work during term time but I don't get many shifts and I'm on a zero hours contract so it's not something I can rely on. Holiday work is competitive and normally advertised internally first and companies are unlikely to choose a temporary worker like me. It means I don't have much money and small discounts like this really do help me.

It's all very well moaning about students but, when my student loan doesn't cover my accommodation, let alone living expenses, I'd invite you to walk a mile in my shoes first.

My current summer internship rolls me into a grad scheme that starts at £26k and increases by £8k for the next two years, plus performance bonuses.

At least some percentage will remain. That's why you've uniday and NUS extra. Also, some newspapers such as the Economist and financial time, have heavy discounts for students as they try to get them reading and get use to it sooner than latter

If you can afford uni fees and you are gonna get boosted graduate starting salary, why do you need discount at Morrisons, it would be better if folk on benefits got the 10% surely not.

But, if you went to uni and can't afford the fees and you're not getting a boosted graduate starting salary, why did you go?

Not looking for a load of students to jump down my throat, just looking to make other people on here aware of my views whether they agree or not.

​Well I'm a single parent who works and also goes to uni to eventually get a better life for my son. I struggle constantly at mo and this would help. Please don't presume that all students are non-working people and don't struggle, there are a wide range of students in different situations..same as in all walks of life.
Thank you op

Anyone know if this includes Morrisons Discount and the fuel garages too? :stuck_out_tongue:

Well, time to go back to school

I'll start shopping at mozzies then :smile:

Most people go to uni in order to better themselves and their employment prospects. Where I'm from, there's not many opportunities and I want to be able to be financially stable and provide for my future family (and my parents, too). It means I'm using my savings and overdraft currently which is bad in the short term but, ultimately, I'll be better off. I can understand what you're saying, and I respect that, but people like 47_ clearly have it out for students and that's not okay.

This starts on Thursday

Ha highly doubt it, would be epic if it was though

My heart bleeds for boomers must be hard enjoying a good life and pensions dont get touched while all other benefits get molested because they vote and wont die.

​don't shop at Morrison's then

sounds good, i hope they do move to in app discount codes and do away with this NUS

Its not a battle between pensioners and students; anyone who is disadvantaged and lives in poverty deserves help in a civilised, compassionate and progressive society. Don't fight each other, come together and go after the common enemy, the 1% who have as much wealth between them as the rest of the 99% put together.

So you think we should feel sorry for you because you've got to pay back £3k a year, when you're earning £16-20k more than national average and that's the average that includes many people earning millions, so the real world for many families is a lot lower. Personally I never moan about my situation and paying for my education, because even with 40% tax on a large chunk it still left me with loads more than many who weren't fortunate enough to find Maths and the other sciences easy.

mike

That's not quite right, they stopped the discount on spirits, but you can still get 10% off all other alcohol

Don't blame him, I bet he voted out in Brexit to save the pennies.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. "47" is a prime example of whinging on the Internet about Morrison's not giving 10% off to OAP.

I can bet a tenner that he's probably never contributed to the food banks widely available in the UK or even bothered doing a collection run.

Everyone save your breath, it's just another dropout from high school with a vendetta against student.

Read my post above :smiley:

I'm not saying anyone should feel sorry for us, my point was meant to be more against that guys idea that students shouldn't get a discount for whatever reason then I got carried away :P

I don't mind paying for university, in some ways I prefer having the charge as it ensure people take it seriously. However it does bug me that my course, nor my friends have changed whatsoever since the fees tripled so I struggle to see what difference that money has made to anything except my future compared to the previous ranks of students who paid £3000.

(Disclaimer: my course was ranked 3rd in the country of its kind this year and hence I'd except it to be reasonably cutting edge)

​You're the one making a complete fool of yourself. Someone has already explained the economics behind what students give back to society. The amount of interest and subsequent debt and you have the audacity to complain about 10% Morrison's discount...

​Couldn't agree more. Really is irritating.

After reading all of the comments in this thread, I feel it's worth getting my opinion here whether it's heard or not.

I am a student studying a 3 year primary education course. While I get the full student loan, this is only just enough to cover accommodation and bills. The course is challenging and time consuming, and when I am not studying I'll be working (like I have been all summer, and like I will be every weekend) so I can pay for food, clothes, travel, etc etc.

10% discount at Morrisons is great - it makes student a little bit easier and more affordable, after all I'll have around £55k-£60k of debt when I finish uni. I will however have a job (hopefully) as a primary school teacher, so that's something.

I do feel for other groups of people in society who are struggling to put food on the table, and for those who would find this 10% discount helpful and beneficial for their finances. Remember that there is help out there, for example Citizens Advice.

Anyway, I wouldn't have known about this deal if I didn't see it on here, so thank you OP!

Thanks

​Buffoon

why! is there another thread with another supermarket offering 10% off for students? or are you just making a fool of yourself

I see you finally got the correct spelling of buffoon, I take it your not a student of english

I think like myself people are not going to like subsidising the students and are going to go elsewhere. The 10% give away is bound to be made up by a price increase to none students. So the may gain a few students buying beans a chip but they will loose the money making family shopper in my view.

can you point me in the direction of your post where you say, " I've said it before and I'll say it again. "47" is a prime example of whinging on the Internet about Morrison's not giving 10% off to OAP." I cant find where you said it before, I take it that your a student, if not im sorry, but if you are, do you have a gambling problem! is that where all your money goes,

so tell me" you want to provide for your parents" why! don't you want them to go hungry, or sit in the cold like many old people do, ill tell you whats "not ok" old people not being able to buy food because they cant afford to buy food and heating, but if that what you want, why don't you just let your parents get on without your help

It won't, staff don't even get a discount on fuel

I'm outraged by this offer. All this goes on while my grandfather is so cold and hungry because the government keep putting up the duties on fags and booze. After a bottle of scotch and 70 fags a day he just can't even afford a scratchcard. How can he hope to live his life with the so called 'pension' and 'housing benefits' he's given? He even has to go on the bus (for free) to collect his prescriptions (for free) for medical marahuanana.

He got sent a letter telling him it was his winter heating allowance, and by burning it he only managed to catch his cardigan on fire and it didn't give off much heat anyway. All this going on while students are off puffing away at the old wakky-bakky and drinking themselves stupid and running up debts. Disgrace.

Nothing wrong with mature students.

State pension is more than most student loan payments. If they can't afford to buy food and heating after state pension, they haven't learned how to be financially responsible.

When I'm that age I'll be lucky if I get a pension from our glorious nation, so I'll take my 10% off TYVM.

Save yourself a further 20% and go to Aldi or Lidl.

easy to get a student card.
Just pay for a cheap e careers course on groupon or somewhere & apply for a NUS card.

just make sure you eat any fruit & veg purchased on that day.

How miserable! All the student bashing comments are ridiculous especially considering most users of this website receive student discount without actually being students!

Let's put a few things straight. If you're a full time student like I am (social work degree student here) then you cannot work alongside your degree because most of your course is made up of a full time unpaid job. Last year I worked 6 months unpaid for a charity and this year it will be 6 months unpaid for the council. This is a minimum 40 hour working week and then we have travel and assignments on top. Despite this my fees are still £9000 a year not including student loan. I cannot afford these fees as they are a loan, something which was not even asked of the previous generation. I will be paying this off for the rest of my life.

Starting salary is in the low to mid £20k region.

So: stop the student bashing please! Why is it wrong to want to get a degree to allow myself to properly pay my way through life? And a discount from Morissons of 10% would certainly help a little. If you feel it should go to OAP's or benefit claimants then fair enough, but they already receive support, the only support students receive that isn't in the form of an interest accruing loan is a reduced council tax bill.

/rant over! Thanks for the post, sounds like a good deal for students!

Clever marketing by Morrisons, they appear generous whilst most students will be too drunk/stoned to understand the offer and take advantage.

And only 10%....If only we saw so much passion at Voting time...we might get Governments to actually listen to people
Protesting on here is easy... get it to the streets.... now there's a challenge...

All these tosh arguments on here only help those with the money and influence... to take it from you :wink:

This offer is for UNiDAYS though. You can't sign up to a groupon deal to bypass not being a student with this one.

You'd need to have an ac.uk email address .

It appears that most of the anti-student comments came from the one really bored troll, I'm glad to see that it's not a majority opinion.

The ask section will go into meltdown

Thanks OP, heat added.

As for some of these comments, the saying “it is better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.” springs to mind.

I work in a bank and don't have much sympathy For oaps with money trouble.

they lived through one of the longest periods of economic growth ever. enjoyed access to a booming job market often subsidised by the state. Huge state funded public services, an nhs much more comprehensive than it is now, booming house price growth, a massive welfare state.

from what I see oaps who struggle financially are those who didn't bother to take the proper financial steps to secure a decent retirement (I. E. didn't bother with a pension or savings as they thought the government and state would prop them up)

they also can't be bothered to shop around. they moan about struggling being a poor pensioner etc but then keep their phone with BT, stay with British gas on a standard tariff etc basically overpay on everything then moan about being hard up

​You don't need an ac.uk email address you can enter your own email address. As long as you put in the place where you study and your student I.D.
Hope that helps

Is pension not around £150 a week (including pension credit if applicable)? I live by myself and spend less than that on my rent, food and bills per week, so why would pensioners go hungry or cold? Genuine question as I must be missing something as I keep seeing stories about how they can't afford to pay the bills but I can't see why?

​Dont need a card its just an app on your phone, really easy to do...and free! ..which is more that can be said for NUS

Ah, a banker that is definitely the most trusted profession, because you guys didnt wait for the government and state to prop you up

Ah, a banker that is definitely the most trusted profession, because you guys didnt wait for the government and state to prop you up

PSA: student discounts are nothing new and many other companies do them e.g. Apple, Spotify, O2, Vodafone, Co-op, etc.

Still might be worth trying with an nus card at the checkout if you don't have unidays can be hit and miss but I've found plenty of places just accept the nus card in store when I just ask

I wouldn't have minded living in a time when you could afford a house. Me and my girlfriend are both Nurses, we live in a **** flat, no way we can afford a house.

All this affordability stuff is nonsense. Morrisons aren't giving students 10% off because they think they are a more worthy cause than single Mums/cold OAPs/homeless Derek on the corner; they are not attempting to 'do good' any more than they do when they send out £5 off vouchers or put them in a newspaper.

It is a calculated strategy - aimed at capturing people while they are young and making them loyal to the company.

It is a great offer for all eligible. For everyone else it makes no difference.

anyone know if you can sign up to Unidays when studying at writestorybooksforchildren.com ? (NUS works this way)

If any one is actually interested in the deal here are the T+Cs and I think it points to it being a one use voucher code?

Valid only at Morrisons. To redeem the 10% discount present your UNiDAYS ID and unique voucher code to the checkout operator, or input into the self check out. Discount is only valid for UNiDAYS verified students and is non-transferable. In-store only - not valid online. Each voucher code is single use. Codes will be checked against a live database and incorrect or previously used codes will not be accepted.

Discount is not valid on: fuel, single-use carrier bags, cash back, fireworks, lottery, online games and instant tickets, charity items such as badges, key rings or trolley tokens, tobacco, tobacco-related products, spirits, prescription medicines and pharmacy services, infant milk or formula, gift vouchers, gift cards, mobile phone cards, mobile phone vouchers, E top-ups, bonus stamps, postage stamps, saver stamps, photo processing, car park tickets, Dry Cleaning and vending machines.Not accepted in conjunction with any other offer.

Just because students haven't lived as long as OAPs doesn't mean they haven't worked hard all their life! OAPs have just lived longer! Think before you speak.

Yes but the unidays app lets you aquire one voucher code every hour does it not?

Morrisons offering 10% discount, it the same thing with banks offering incentives to open student accounts. When I was a student I opened a account with Halifax to bank my grant cheque's, this was back in 1994 and I still bank with them.
10% off for students is better then nothing!

*you're
=> It means "you are".

*English
=> Proper nouns are capitalised.

It would be nice if the discount applies to gift cards too.

​Aah yes, the biggest **** stains on the planet.

Fkd it up & expected the nation to bail them out.

Then returned to their normal ways

This is exactly what the Man wants.

Cheers OP, I've only just started a Saturday course at Coventry University College as a mature student. Already signed up with NUSextra, but hadn't heard of unidays before. Some useful discounts in there.

Said by the person of the generation that has shafted the economy so badly to make it almost impossible for current students to even get close to owning a house before 30. So yeah, I'll take 10% discount at a store I never use thanks..

Does the app do this without you having a verified account? If so it seems a bit daft of Unidays to allow unverified users of the app to benefit when their online sign-up requires an institution and course/valid student ID/etc.

" Just because students haven't lived as long as OAPs doesn't mean they haven't worked hard all their life" really! if they have worked hard all their lives, they should have plenty of money and dont need the 10% off, instead of pleading poverty, oh the poor students, now everyone now knows you have made a fool of yourself, maybe you should THINK before you speak :smirk:

maybe when you grow up you will see why

The question everyone wants to know is how to get a .ac.uk email without being at university

​what, you mean aside from fraudulently?

if students are so poor and hard up, can someone explain to me why, the students union's are full of students drinking, the pubs around the universities are busy with students, the nightclubs have a students night every week, and there busy with students, the kebab/pizza shops are busy with students every night, I live in a city that has two universities, and the pubs and clubs rely on their business, as do the taxis, and no one can say this is untrue as when the students go home for the summer, the businesses have a down turn in profits, the poor poor students

Excellent bait there but you're a bit early; it's only just gone midday, the bone-idle students won't be getting out of bed for another 3 or 4 hours!

I worked in a grocery store for three years. By far the most egregious shoplifters were older men, like the 70-something year old caught with quite a few 1-litre bottles of spirits, or the 30-somethings always tucking steaks and beef cuts into their coats. Also, the few younger people shoplifting were definitely not of the student variety.

I wish this had been around when I was a student.
Would have saved a load on my beer bill every week.

Students get a maintenance loan so they are spending borrowed money, if they want to go out once a week get drunk, have fun and forget about study then whats wrong with that, they will most likely save up the cash to go out by eating beans on toast and super noodles all week.

Are you inadvertently saying student help the local economy?

This on top of helping the wider economy with their silly debts and tax contributions?

You're clearly just out baiting but just in case... perhaps it'd be worth speaking to a professional about your anger and resentment issues towards students :smiley:

You've just spoilt their day !

haha I agree, whoever this person is, is an absolute doofus! It's sad that the highlight of someones day is to come onto a deal forum moaning about a massive company offering to help out the less fortunate. If you feel that hard done by, and want the deal that badly, become a student!

what tax contributions! they are so poor they don't pay any tax contributions

" offering to help out the less fortunate" students are that indeed, what an idiotic comment

Look Morrisons, you can settle 90% of the arguments in this thread by giving everybody 10% off.

Students need every penny they can get,so they can cash in on the student PS4 deal :wink:

http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/ps4-slim-console-201-35-amazon-with-student-discount-2514569?p=28792963

If this includes wines,beers and spirits Morrisons will be bankrupt in a week! :laughing:

I don't usually see any benefit in debating online with people you don’t even know- who needs the stress and I’ve never grasped why people care what anyone else thinks. Much easier just to ignore a comment you dislike. However some of your summary is misleading. Ironically as you purported to set the record straight and at the time of writing 49 people agree with you but won’t know that. It’s only a minority of pensioners who will receive the various benefits you mention (winter fuel allowance aside, which is peanuts). The state pension pays back in proportion to what you paid in NI. Not all pensioners get a full pension if they have gaps in their contribution record, something particularly that penalises women or self-employed people.

http://www.ageuk.org.uk/money-matters/claiming-benefits/means-tested-benefits/
Attendance allowance is only for those with a disability who have care needs. Council tax and housing benefits, subject to various special categories (eg disability), are only for those who can satisfy means tests. Meaning £16,000 of savings makes you ineligible (probably most pensioners). Pensions credit is affected by capital as well. Winter fuel allowance is peanuts. The UK benefits system essentially rewards not saving for retirement and vice versa. But that’s another issue.

I wouldn’t call about £150 per week in state pension and any pensions credit top up a “very decent standard of living”. It’s a poverty line. All that said, there’s no valid comparison to be made by anyone here between student discounts and the benefits pensioners get. But as I say, no one here needs to care what anyone else thinks. If Morrisons want to give a discount, good for them and to those who benefit.

You have obviously never been a student and are intent on causing a fuss so I've voted hot and will leave you be.

You can now go back to telling children Santa isn't real or kicking puppies, whatever you do for fun :smiley:

Rubbish when ever I go past the uni in Preston all the pubs are full of students, not oap's, even with 10% it is still cheaper to shop at Aldi or Lidl, if Morrisons can afford to give it to students what about our servicemen and women and veterans who have struggled along the way, by the way I stopped shopping at Morrisons along time ago they are expensive.

we are all students at the end of the day, we never stop learning. so where do I get my NUScard lol

Saw this on the self scan till today when shopping, it asks for a 6 digit code so I'm assuming this is what Unidays provides you

Same, just saw it today so can't be long before its implemented.

Neither are you from the looks of it. It's you're not your and it's English not english.

Why are you slagging off what is a good deal just because they don't offer it to OAPs. Do Asda, Sainsbury's, Tesco's, Lidls or Aldi give discounts to OAPs. Do you **** off those shops that only give discounts to the NHS or Armed Forces. There is only one word for you but unfortunately I can't get away with saying it here.

Funny that, I live in Preston and when I go out, all I see is old people in the pubs, hardly any students - nothing like how it used to be. Students get a lot of flak, but it's very hard for especially working class students these days.

Personally, I have a full time job, look after my young son while my wife is at work on opposite shifts, I am 3 years into a 6 year part time distance learning degree and am very glad of this offer.

Not everyone is the stereotypical student!

I'm 35, work full time, have 4 children under the age of 7, and a husband who also works full time. I am also a uni student in the last year of my law degree, which I do in the evenings. When my children are fed, bathed and in bed, I go out to uni, 3 times a week. I find comments like 'if you can afford the uni fees why do you need 10%' really insulting!!! I'm busting a gut to make a better life for my family so if big companies like morrisons want to help out then why not!!! If we didn't have people willing to study there would be no teachers for your kids, no doctors to treat them etc.... Being a student isn't all about drinking every night, it's about bettering yourself and that should be welcomed, not slagged off!!

Well said sarah

Anyone know if the normal NUS Extra card will work

So annoyed this won't work for NUS card holders, as Unidays only supports universities. I've made the 'alternative' choice to study for an apprenticeship rather than university, and am studying at Kaplan Financial. It would be nice to get universal treatment. (Nothing against Morrisons, this is a great discount, but Unidays need to sort their system out.)

Fair play to you!!

I'm wondering the same thing but only UniDays seems to be getting mentioned.

Ok, you still felt the need to reply though. :wink:

Yes I do talk from a position of knowledge advising on benefits available to a range of our society. The point I was getting across was that there is a minimum standard of living. A pensioner could and indeed many do, receive one some or all of the benefits I mentioned. The only omission I would correct myself on is the council tax benefit as that does not exist any more, the scheme is dependent on your local authority who have the power to pay up to 90% of that bill.
All of the benefits I've mentioned are means tested, Attendance allowance aside, but I still think the vast majority of pensioners who have all of the 'minimum' standards of living met, manage to do so with amounts they are given. I often found those with the more significant sums of savings were the ones who refused to put the heating on.

Of course this is a debate that is had at a much higher level than I will ever attain. However there are many senior citizens around the world who would be very happy with the poverty line you mentioned.

I don't think anything I said in my comment was inaccurate, possibly I did not expand or explain it fully, however the general meaning of the response seems to have been understood by most.

Blue

That's fantastic. Thanks for the heads up! This is a right good money saving tip
<3<3<3

The app on your phone only works if your unidays account is verified.

Drat, don't have unidays thingie. But I have a NUS card... if that ever works.

No you still need a verified account to get voucher codes on the app.

Not for this promotion.

Chloe, I'm at Kaplan Financial as well. I like you have a NUS Extra Card. I've contacted UNiDAYS to ask if we're eligible for their card as we don't get personal institute email addresses. Not hopeful though.

​Fuel is not included. Morrisons discount can't be used in conjunction with Unidays discount.

Some basic ways students help the economy and by no means in any detail....

1) Local economy (you said that yourself).
2) Employment of college and university staff (core and fringe)
3) Their borrowing contributes to the wider economy.
4) When they graduate, can be argued they'll pay higher taxes.
5) When they graduate/qualify they'll deign your house, see to you about that cough and may be talk you through some of your issues against students :smiley:

I've only skimmed the surface here by the way.

Where did the OP find out about this? There are no details at my local Morrisons

Looks like (from the pic top right) that it's a screengrab of a phone... so I presume the Unidays app.

Morrisons' alcohol sales will go through the roof.

Everyone is different, and from past and present experience students instead of being savvy often get luxury accomodation or at least far better than people on benefits, and more things that help them

In every student town I have been bar one over the years accomodation for students was dearer than renting a flat, like £140 for halls when a flat a mile or two away was like £80 a week and 3 or 4 times the space, even houseshares were as much and sometimes over £100 a week, a studio flat nearby would be around £70.

Its on a individual basis, I have seen many students over the years especially the teenage ones whinge about a 5-15 minute walk to uni and get taxis constantly, and only buy branded stuff be it clothes, food, toiletries they are the ones that complain the most about being skint and the same ones that used to whinge at me saying I was rich as I got full loan, yet they were the ones drinking a lot, buying branded stuff and I was living off basics.

So whilst you can say all students are "poor" it would also be true to say its not always down to genuine lack of income rather they spend what they don't have.

I thought it was food only so excludes alcohol, cigarettes, fuel, lottery etc

Its on unidays website.

In terms of alcohol it's only sprits which are excluded x

Yes it was from my husband uni days account as I have the app on my phone

Typical my student membership ran out 4 days ago and all I seen last few days is decent discounts on UniDays :disappointed: FML

I though Morrison's use to do student discounts when I was a student, then stopped???

Damn you are really butthurt.

Did some student torture you or something when you were younger?

Or were you bullied when you were a student?

Genuine question, deffo not trolling.

Did you take other factors into account, for example, bills, insurance, internet, transport, etc?

Did these cheaper places also allow for students to apply (I had trouble when I tried private)?

As a student, I always had to remember to take these factors into account when I looked for places. My uni also provides free transport if you're within certain locations.

Where does it state what's included excluded please ?

​Yes. sorry, i just meant you dont need a card or to pay for it..neither do you need an ac.uk email address, as long as you have a student i.d. number and place of study you are ok. Im sorry if I wasnt clear I just thought you was comparing it to the NUS card for which we have to pay yearly and do need ac.uk email address for. Free is always good

yeh, some students did torture me, the pulled my finger nails out, stuck ice picks in me, water boarded me, sleep deprivation, electrocution, and a lot more, now stop making an idiot of yourself by asking idiotic questions

Great, the missus just finished uni last week :neutral_face:

Post 91 on this thread says what they are.

Do we know if this is likely to be NUS too? Just that I find the uniday app doesn't always work well (and suffers if no reception/data, which I see a lot in supermarkets)

so you cant answer the question. Says it all and proves you are doing nothing but trolling. What a sad life you must lead.

Or legitimate students who've had their Uni emails for an extra year after graduation, like me :smile:

You just have to show your Unidays ID to the checkout operator from the Unidays app already logged in beforehand, which can then be accessed without requiring a network connection.

Just come back from Morrisons and on the self service till there is a button to click for 'unidays'

so you spend less than £150 per week on rent, shopping, bills, electric/gas bus fares/transportation, can you give all the hukd members a breakdown of your weekly spend, because that would be the hottest post in years on here, remember not all oap's get £150 a week, especially women, like I said, when you grow up you will understand

That's a good point actually. Didn't realise UNiDAYS didn't have a physical card as well?

Great spot, thanks for letting us know

U don't need a NUS card. U do it through unidays and a code is sent to ur phone. And u show the cashier the code and they enter it at the till point.

ust finished unpacking my Morrison's delivery should have held off n bought instore tomorrow :disappointed:

​pensioners save money on their bus fares to morrisons and, to be fair, saving 10% on a boil in the bag fish portion and a pack of fig rolls is neither here nor there

Heyyy! Picking on somebody's spelling and grammar; that's a terrible thing to do... unless they're a bit mad and you can use it to annoy them because reasoned argument won't work.

(And shhh! Just between you and me - they could have ended the sentence with a full stop and used a semicolon after buffoon to replace and as conjunctive adverb, but here to link the two related independent clauses. Shhh! Don't laugh, you'll set me off.)

...and here's your £50,000 debt. Pay it back directly from your wages for the next 25 years or so :smiley:

for unidays you have to have a student .ac.uk email for it to verify you. I have it :smiley:

for unidays you have to have a student .ac.uk email for it to verify you. I have it :smiley:

Nothing is "free". if the student discount costs morrisons, say £1m, then it either has to be paid for by the shareholders, or more likely the other customers... Every time a select group of people gets something "free" i see it potentially as a cost to my pocket, whether that be student discount, pensioners discount, nhs, free meals for kids.... If its a discount not available to everyone then im much less inclined to give that shop my custom.

only if your wage is high enough,:innocent:

As someone in full time gainful emplyment i can honestly say that if true Morrisons just lost themselves a customer. I refuse to pay an over inflated price to subsidise Students.

This is an Amazing offer! It's a shame people are quick to judge students! I am a mature student, studying full time nurse degree, I had to leave my job in the nhs to train for 3 years, which involves working for the NHS for free during this time - this cut my income down to 1/3 what it was - with 2 children to feed! But this is some of the hardship 'students' have to go through to progress to a good career that they are determined for. So thank you morrisons for recognising the hardship students face. ☺️

Businesses participate in these student discount schemes because they get young people into their shops/restaurants/etc, making impulse purchases and developing a long-term brand loyalty. The 10% pays for itself over time.

You seem to have a very simplistic, zero-sum concept of how these costs are accounted for and business decisions made.

They might be taking the hit or cutting the costs somewhere else, like giving less to charities. My mother runs a food bank and Asda give loads of stuff to it. Will you stop shopping there because of that because somebody is paying for it in the end.

Great offer but i have to agree with some of the haters. Why give students a discount on groceries when people who have nothing need it more than they do. I volunteered at a food bank recently and I've seen people coming in with their children and they are starving and dirty because they can't afford the basics and it makes me so sad. Why not drop the 10% of food you buy in to the donation box on your way out of Morrison's, do something good with it :smiley:

Hopefully all the staff will know about this and no issues in store like with coupons at times

Those voices in his head.

Coop includes alcohol so just buy it there...

Could just shop at aldi and save at least 20% on the alcohol prices. Thats all they consume isnt it. Itll save em the 40k debt they leave, after 3 years with, in alcohol savings :laughing:

Happy to sub you a tenner until payday if you're feeling the pinch of the economic downturn bud.

does this include items on offer

Great idea! Any one who thinks otherwise clearly doesn't understand the value of education and the cost at which this country puts on achieving it.

If you didn't go to uni that was your choice now stop assuming you know what it's like been a student and how much it costs.

10% off is good but not aldi or lidl prices. So surely if you are hard up you would be better off shopping at the disconter!
ps royal marines discount was 10% for the last 3 months if you had the discount card and did include alcohol.

iirc the average uni has roughly 20,000 students at any given time. Do you have even a thousand students out in town spending money on these nights out? Thought so. They're quite obviously a minority so stop trying to play idiot and get over the fact that Morrisons are giving outa 10% student discount.

And I imagine captured a lot of the student market.

Personally I'd be more irritated by free bus passes, TV licences and the general subsidy of people claiming tax credits promoting and enabling low wages (and high taxes), rather than getting all uppity about a business giving 10℅ off to people who are generally either living on loans and/or also working.

It must be difficult avoiding all retailers who offer discounts to students (heck, even McDonald's chuck in a free mcflurry - don't be pushed into subsidising that!)

Terms and conditions are above Alcohol is included only spirits are excluded

Discount is not valid on: fuel, single-use carrier bags, cash back, fireworks, lottery, online games and instant tickets, charity items such as badges, key rings or trolley tokens, tobacco, tobacco-related products, spirits, prescription medicines and pharmacy services, infant milk or formula, gift vouchers, gift cards, mobile phone cards, mobile phone vouchers, E top-ups, bonus stamps, postage stamps, saver stamps, photo processing, car park tickets, Dry Cleaning and vending machines.Not accepted in conjunction with any other offer.

Hmm, I only have an NUS card... so looks like I'm out?

Awesome thanks

wow! what an idiotic comment, do you think the night clubs open on a Wednesday for a couple of hundred students! think not, the clubs are very busy on student nights as are the pubs in town, now everyone knows who is playing idiot, don't we,:smirk:

all kidding aside, a lot of morrisons are quite far from the university campus, "the ones I know are" now do you really think students will walk or get a bus 3 or 4 miles to save 10% off super noodles or some pot noodles, or will they just walk down to a much closer aldi or lidl which is just down the road from the campus and will work out cheaper

is there any way to verify without a ac.uk email?

Well duh of course I did, and the places I lived hence me saying were local to the university.

In fact the OPPOSITE experience, the student areas had the better accomodation meaning working people lost out.

Why do you assume I don't know about bills when I am in my 30's?

I have even stayed in student accomodation when doing temp jobs, the most common things I noticed was people wanted to pay the minimum for anything not paid for by parents but wanted premium quality.

Always remember one of my flatmates at end of first year complaing that she didn't get a chance to put down a deposit on a property that had a jacuzzi as the time it took her to view and get home it had already gone!

And so often I heard arguments (had some myself over bills) as at least half the housemates used to just use utilities and when bill came in refuse to top up, and myself had ones that would have 3 or 4 showers a day, use tumble dryer a few times a day, leave everything turned on when going out then run up huge bills and then either refuse to pay their share as they said theres no way they used that much or want to split the bill as thats "fair"

Even lived at properties where furniture has been wrecked and ither tenants had to pay for damage.

So yes I know a lot about student accomodation and students.

I don't understand why people are complaining about students getting this. After paying accommodation costs, I get £40 to last me 3 months after Xmas. I'm pretty sure oaps and people on benefits get more than that ...

Every student is different, the biggest thing I can think of is the self supporting thing for students under 25 as people could of lived away from home since 18 but I have also known parents to do this on purpose trying to get around paying. I used to get moaned at when I got full loans by students who came from families that could afford to top up the difference but didn't (and so often heard the reasoning from parents as "why should we")

It didn't matter my parents were so poor the house was falling apart, when I was a kid they fed me instead of themselves and so on and the people complaining they had no money were the ones that came from the upper part of working class homes, and the same ones that at random would phone parents who would drive over 100 miles to see them and bring them weeks of shopping or just put cash in their account.

I technically was so badly off when I left home I was in the red before even buying food and that was with £50 a week rent that included bills!.

that's just not true, and im calling you a liar, so lets just think about what you have just said, you get £40 to last you for 3 months, don't you wash, use soap, shampoo, brush your teeth, eat, now your on the internet, lets say your on a good deal sim, lets say £5 per month, 3 x 5 = 15, which takes you down to £25 to last you 3 months, which is, lets say £8 per month, or £2 per week to buy food, toiletries, can you please explain to all the hukd members how to do this, because everyone would love to do this(_;)

does this include items that are on offer

Has anyone used it yet? Did it work... and was it exciting? :wink:

If they're a student then yeah.

If not then make an economic case for why they should because this isn't an altruistic act by a supermarket, it's a cold hard business decision designed to increase profits.

Happy days! My student ID and my forces discount card save me a fortune.
On top of that H&M have 20% off for a limited time also.
Almost makes the £40k debt bearable.

You still didn't answer the question.
State pension with guarantee is £150ish for a single person, £240ish for a couple, why would some not get that? I genuinely don't know the answer as I'm not trolling like you obviously are.
https://www.gov.uk/pension-credit/overview
Guarantee Credit tops up your weekly income if it’s below £155.60 (for single people) or £237.55 (for couples).
Plus if they are on the lowest rates they would possibly get housing benefit if they are renting.

My rent is £74 a week including service charges and water rates. My gas and electric are around £15 a week. Phone/broadband £5 a week, food, possibly £20-25, car insurance and tax about £15, fuel about £20. So thats roughly state pension level, but I get no housing benefit, I don't get a free bus pass and i used my car for work which more than doubles my fuel bill. Not sure why you think that is such a low spend, jobseekers allowance is £75ish a week and people survive on that, so why can't a pensioner on twice that?

Can everyone just drop the student bashing (read: jealous of a 10% discount - which is incredibly sad). If you're eligible, great - enjoy the offer, if you're not, STFU and move on. It strikes me the vast majority of people with an "opinion" (a misguided one at that) on how well off or not students are, have very clearly never been one. More jealousy perhaps?

I get £40 to last me 3 months from student finance. This does not include my work wages. The whole point of my comment being students do not get a lot from student finance and some people are unable to work at uni due to work load. This 10% makes all the difference to students who are on a tight budget. And for your information did you get £2000 worth of toiletries for £60 on a boots glitch a few years ago ? Probably not.

Some get £8200 or something like that for beer money from Student Finance.

Well its us parents who pay for their children at Uni.
So giving students a discount is also good for parents.
Makes uni a bit cheaper for us all.

Did you try it?

is it possible to get one of these emails please?

Came for the people who don't understand economics/moaning about students, was not disappointed.

Works well, shows as 'Student Support' on the receipt.

​Only stopped discount on spirits, beer and wine is fine.

Used this today :smiley: You just click the Unidays Discount option on the payment selection screen, and type in the code that is generated on Unidays app. It generates no more than one code per hour.

If anybody is getting withdrawal symptoms from somebody with a prime number username saying some, let's say 'off colour' things then read this thread on digital spy. It might get you angry, and you might think it's an amazing troll (which I did) but if you stick with it then it sadly turns quite horrible. It's great realising you were tricked by a master, but awful when it's how someone really thinks.

No I didn't xx wasn't live till today you have to enter the code on the till I believe xx

Interestingly, the comments in this post - especially those relating to the strategy to 'catch 'em while they're young' - have spurred me to change my bank account to take advantage of another bank's joining incentive. Before, I was in half a mind to stay put, being that my bank has always treated me well in my eyes - but now I see it's just a strategy (like all good customer service) that comes at a price and I am going to be bothered to shop around, unlike what Mr Banker said.

For less than £140 near my uni I've seen places which included utility bills, etc. which is actually quite common for the ones I've looked at. That's why I bought it up because in reality things can vary depending on circumstances.

I also paid less when I stayed in halls.

Also, how was I suppose to know your age?

Easiest way is to avoid morrisons if you disagree with it . I don't bother with morrisons cos the choice is crap and it's at least 10% more expensive anyhow . If they had any sense they would drop the prices by 10% and get a lot more than students shopping there . Clueless senior management miles behind the game .

Or if you agree with this promotion - change your shopping to Morrisons. But seriously, anybody would even consider boycotting a company over a student promotion? :confused::neutral_face:

Offering a discount to certain groups of people will always risk alienating another group .. The main reason to avoid morrisons is that it's the worst of the big 4 by a country mile . Poor layouts , constant rows of closed tills, poor selection and high prices . Their customer base has been badly hit by savvy shoppers , aldi , etc and waiting 7 years to bring on home deliveries lost them a big chunk of customers also . If they seriously think offering 10% discount to students ( who have very little disposable income ) will cure their problems , just shows how clueless they are .

Mean? :smile:

So is all you need an nus card?

Yes I had one as an OU student and I now have an NUS Extra card for doing my masters part time (and I work full time). I use it in the Coop and never had an issue.

for pe2ole who are saying 'just download the app' that is not true if you are not a student
UNIDAYS asks for an email ending in ac.uk and verifies your student status with your uni
So there is no way non-students can get the discount

​needs to be an actual university as they verify your student status with the uni

I'm a student doing my masters part time whilst working 32 hours a week at a supermarket
I pay 3000 a year for my course which I am paying myself whilst having to pay for rent, food and utilities. I get zero financial help off the government as I am a post grad
I am doing my masters so I can better myself and not be stuck in a supermarket for the rest of my life.
Sometimes student discounts and been a huge help.

Cold. Bloody students!

Baloney

There is 20% off Ann summers too for students! God help the anti student brigade finding out that students are having great sex alongside 10% off at Morrisons. They will go into meltdown

Or if they were to offer a 0.2 to 0.5% discount on all goods, they wouldn't get a single extra person through the door. Who wants a TV campaign advertising a 0.2% discount? That's going to be the equivalent cost of running this student promotion which will at least get some extra people through the door - and potentially create brand loyalty for future high-earners.

It means somebody has struck them down. But they will return and become more powerful than you can possibly imagine.

Gather your forces; there is a war ahead of us. Ignorance took a beating today but it isn't dead and never shall be. We have to remain vigilant. About 10% more vigilant than normal by my calculations.

If this post is one day repeated with an accompanying gif of laughing people then know that I am done for. Nothing can withstand the humiliation of that.

I think he is highlighting more that the older generation who some believe should be getting this discount got all the free education that they could want and also managed to buy up all of the cheap properties and ride the property boom out for a number of years and still some people think that they should get a further discount now just because of their age? As if the boomer generation didn't have everything handed to them on a plate already.

The current generation are paying £9000 per year in tuition fees so even if they take out no living cost loan they have £27,000 in debt from the moment they leave uni. They also have to contend with ridiculous house prices and unrealistic rent demands from the aforementioned boomers can you really begrudge a 10% discount on food when they have thousands in debt to pay pack that other generations never had to? So while it worked out for you paying for your education and having a decent salary, I bet you wouldn't have complained about the 10% discount when you were studying.

They have just started doing post grad loans but only if your course started after 1st August 2016, don't know if that helps you or not? It sounds like it won't as I get the impression you started a year or so ago. They give up to a maximum of £10,000. I have just done my application today, it took 15mins, it isn't even means tested or anything like the undergraduate loans.

If you spend about 10 minutes browsing the deals you'll find your assumption rather incorrect. There's deals here on sheds, cars, baby stuff, shopping, nights out, family holidays.
I'd say the users of the site here are a pretty broad spectrum.

Assuming everyone is/thinks/acts/understands/reasons like you is a fairly common personality flaw. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/False-consensus_effect

Hot, and a very good reason to get my 16 yr old daughter to do the weekly shop :laughing: Do any monetary limits apply? Only joking she would never do it!

Get a life mate

No, u need to do it through the unidays app and u get a code, show this to cashier and they type the code into till point to get discount

10% not worth the effort just go to Lidl, The Bank has stated this morning in the papers that companies are Re Engineering products to use cheaper ingredients and smaller packaging so not to increase Prices

They never stopped staff getting discount, this is a Scottish government thing not Morrisons. And no further discount is for spirits, so can still get it off beers and wines etc.

Spot on .. Both Aldi and lidl are more than 10% cheaper and asda and tesco somewhat cheaper too. Unless it's your only option morrisons Is shocking value it's no wonder they are struggling .

Where the hell do you live? :confused:

There is a button on the self service tills also. I saw it today

thank you OP for posting this. :smiley:

why do people get so hot under the collar about some people's views ? someone saying that OAP's are more deserving are wrong. the ONS figures show the standard of living and protection afforded to OAPs.

however, voltaire got it right so lets mellow and live and let live.

good news on Morrisons tho pity its not on petrol or spirits :wink:

FANTASTIC
I'm not a student but if it makes a student's life better - no one can deny this is great.
They are our future.

Used at self service tills this morning - no problems! Hot!

anyone wanting an ac address.

sign up for an evening class or an extra-mural course at a reputable institution and you should be able to apply for one to let you access the online facilities..

i had one at goldsmith's college some years ago when i did an evening course.

The discounts students get are minor when you compare it with how much they're paying out in fees to get a decent education. I've gotta say, I really don't think it's worth the money for many careers nowadays.

The average graduate salary outside of the big financial companies in London is just about £20k, and outside of London it's about £16k. Sure there will be exceptions, but that's the reality for the majority. On that sort of salary, even jumping up 1k p/a for 5 years, paying back a student loan of £27k+ whilst paying rent, or trying to score a mortgage? It's a lead weight around your neck IMO.

I have a nus card only. Can I use this in store?

Ho w can you get the app when you only have a windows phone? As far as I can see the app (...which is needed to generate the code) can only be used on android and ios phones. Can you put the app on a tab, generate the code from your home/uni networks wifi and just make a note of the code to use in store??

does this work on offer items

The idiocy of people complaining about multi-million pound corporations offering incentives to students is incredible.

The government has shafted young people six ways from Sunday in the last 6 years, allowing our already affluent universities to charge obscene sums of money per year, that require a loan (which naturally, accrues interest), as well as various maintenance loans, grants, bursaries... etc. I went to uni between 05 and 08, and paid cash for my tuition fees. Almost impossible to see students being able to do that now with fees up to £9k a year. They've also changed the terms on loan repayments for people who have already taken them out - if any other financial institution did this, it would render the contract null and void.

Tell you what, instead, let's just ban universities in this country altogether, eh? Everyone will just have to manage with a basic standard of education, provided by a school system which is recording some of the lowest literacy rates in Europe, behind economic superpowers like Estonia, Lithuania and Poland. Presumably in a generation or so, when the falling skill levels of young adults means that unemployment rates have rocketed, average income has fallen to an all-time low and publicly funded services have all but completely disappeared due to lack of funding, companies have to hire skilled workers in from abroad (those that haven't pulled out of the UK market entirely), people complaining about a trifling 10% discount on crisps and biscuits will all be happy.

Anyone spouting bile about students really needs to develop a basic grasp of economics before posting.

only on for 3month for a trial to see how it gose

I tried it last night. Saved 3 quid, was brilliant. Thanks Morrisons.

We are all students of HUKD University

​Admittedly, a fair few haven't ever attended a class....

Do morrisons price match tesco? Thinking xbox bundle...

Ooooo whadja get, whadja get??? Please don't let it be hair nets and support stockings and beef bones for me dog and powdered egg and castor oil and boil-in-the-bag rock salmon and corn plasters and linament oil and goose fat for rubbin' on me chest when I've got the rickets and a tissue to stuff up me sleeve just in case and having a coil fitted and taking a pinch of soot from the fireplace for scrubbing me teeth or a lovely box of Lipton's tea.

If you're doing any of that you're taking food out of the mouth of fictional pensioners and that ain't bona.

It's only for food item's

A beef joint and pork joint.

Well done Morrisons

I don't think Morrisons are doing this to be charitable. It is a business plan to get future high earners into the store the moment they leave the parental home. Personally I see most students in Aldi and consider Morrisons for old people, the average age on the tills must be over 60. Aldi is still cheaper even with the 10 percent off. I use my NUS card in the Coop but again it is still more expensive than Aldi

Unidays is free, if you have an nus why on earth wouldn't you have Unidays too?!?!

Because Unidays needs a university email address and not all students are studying at a university

Ah students, get a lovely payout from the Government, spend 2-5 years 'studying' and once they've finally graduated they get a job in McDonalds. :laughing:

Unidays works with some colleges as well. I did an Access HE course in college and I could sign up for Unidays with as a college student.

Shaw Academy not recognised by Unidays so no student discount for me :disappointed:
Wonder if my old Open University email would work?

Open Uni works as long as it is verified through the OU site. I used mine again today, a saving is a saving. My too is OU.

Bit annoying that UNiDAYS won't let me be a student as they don't support where I am studying (online) yet NUS are cool with it

because I'm a HUKD Student who is really £15m/annum property developer!

thanks for the heads up :smiley: im a full time uni student, and full time work as well as the hubby. This will save us a nice little sum every month to treat the munchkins xx

Nice to know.

How do you work full time and study full time, student loans etc.

I don't claim student finance for living expenses, that's why I work it was more beneficial for us to do it this way as I work nights and as the entitlement to sf would not have covered living expenses. So the amount of debt will hopefully be minimal. It's a juggling act but keeps me busy. Hopefully worth it in the end. Every penny saved is a bonus.

I had to give up binge watching TV programs and films then found I had more time than I knew what to do with.

Does this discount apply to electronics and video games?

the unidays button on the self service tills wasn't there for me today. I was short of time so I did not ask about it. do I need to go to a normal till now?

Was also wondering whether it applies to non food items (games/toys/dvds etc)

Tbh though my average shop always tends to cost more at Morrisons than at Asda/Tesco so not sure how worthwhile this will be.

I will stick up for students though as I work at a university. They have it pretty difficult, with huge debts, a crowded jobs market and a struggle for housing going forward- and thats after all the years of study and struggle to make ends meet. The levels of mental health problems in students have become outrageously high in recent years and its no coincidence.

Well that lasted all of about 3 weeks. No longer on Unidays

Noooooooooo!!!!

Yes I'm a fifty year old, reading children book writing at the university of no mark, my course finishes in 2032, I love my NUS card such a blag ;-)

Not anymore :disappointed:

So frustrating... it's not available in unidays anymore...

It's not avaliable but the self serve till still showed UNiDAYS on the screen

Morrisons twitter "No we haven't Stuart, just a little glitch, should be all up and running tomorrow :smiley: - Smaira"

Its back on unidays.

Gone again. Usually on the day when spent more at Morrisons. ☹️

On twitter it said it had ended and they are reviewing it.

Thanks.

Oh so that is it then? Was it worth it?!

10,000 codes will be released every Monday and when they're gone they're gone.

​Where do you get this information?

Twitter. Unidays and Morrisons seem to have sorted their communication problem.

One of the replies on twitter even said sorry for the rubbish replies

Anyone know what time on Monday they will appear please?

Not sure when they will be released... But I still can't see morrisons in the app.

Maybe the origional replies on the twitter feed from last week were correct after all. What a mess it makes them look very unprofessional.

Just saw this on twitter
@terriixx1 Hey! Morrison's have suspended the promotion until further notice. We apologise for the inconvenience. Lewis

hope that helps some of you who might be waiting in hopes of a code, personally I've started buying a lot of my shopping in lidl ( would prefer Aldi but it's too far away )

It's back on unidays but only for 48 hours it states.

I mean what is the point of that?!

It was at the self service tills in Tewkesbury yesterday

Has anyone actually managed to get this working over the last week... if so is it only available on mondays now?
Thanks

no

they've given up with it

Does anyone have any experience using NUS at Morrisons? is the NUS offer still on?

I manged to use it initially but not for the past month....

I think it's been cancelled but for some reason it still shows up on the morrisons tills.

They don't!

Was only on for 3month. If successful then they will bring it back. I've not heard anything in my store about it returning.

Thanks for the reply. I will ask them when I pop in next but as you suggest, not looking hopeful.
